- Description
- From the diary of Lewis Loder, dated April 3, 1861, "Adison Gaines' Negro Woman and five children ran off." In 1860, Joseph Adison Gaines is listed in the slave schedule with a 27 year old woman and five children (ages 8, 6, 5, 4 and 1). Based on birth records, it is likely that Margaret is the 6 year old female child listed in the 1860 slave schedule for J. A. Gaines, and was among the children who escaped with their mother. She was listed as "'black,'no mother's name."
