Pike County, Georgia African-American Records



I am looking for primary or secondary records for African-American persons who lived in Pike County, Georgia. I am especially interested in the pre-1870 period, as research for this period is extremely difficult. I am compiling a list of African-American residents of Pike County below. I would appreciate any help with this project and suggestions. If you have Pike County estate records, wills, or other documents where slaves or freedmen are named, consider posting them here to aid African-Americans in their family research.

NEW FIND

The Tax Digest for 1868 lists freedmen with their employers. This would be just after the Civil War and, in some cases, this employer may be the previous owner.
