    Butler Island

    Plantation
    Overseer’s
    Reports
    1803 – 1820*
    (Reports sent by Roswell King to Maj. Pierce Butler in Philadelphia)

    citing this resource:


    Butler plantation papers: the papers of Pierce Butler (1744-1822) and successors from the Historical Society
    Pennsylvania | digital copies from The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition via
    AME Digital | downloaded from genealogyadventures.net.

    *excludes 1810 & 1819 – there were no genealogically useful information about Butler Island’s enslaved people for that
    year. It does include a posthumous 1826 report (no reports found between 1821 and 1825)
    notes about these documents

    Genealogy Adventures co-host, Brian Sheffey, was granted a time-


    Genealogy Adventures genealogyadventures.net

    limited, free access to the digitized records of Maj. Pierce Butler by


    AME Digital, the organization that digitized them.
    As far as we are aware, this is the first time these documents have
    been made publicly available for genealogists researching their
    family history.
    Brian poured through thousands of Maj. Pierce Butler’s plantation
    documents. Given the short amount of access time available, he
    selected only those records and reports that had relevance for
    African American researchers researching their family - or families -
    held in bondage by Maj. Pierce Butler and his descendants in South
    Carolina and Georgia prior to Emancipation.
    The images are offered “as is” without transcription. While every
    effort was made to provide clear and easy-to-read documents; you
    will notice that a few pages have a difficult readability level. This can
    be due to the pen and ink that was used. The occasional writing style
    may also make some of the pages more difficult to read than others.
    Some pages also suffer from ink “bleed-through” and smudges. This
    is part and parcel of the genealogical research experience.
    These documents have enabled Weeping Time* researchers to make
    some stunning and incredible break-throughs: pushing their ancestry
    back 2 to 3 generations! We hope that the information in these
    records will help you make discoveries for your family history
    research too.
    *The Weeping Time was the USA’s largest sale of human beings. Maj. Pierce Butler’s grandson, Pierce
    Mease Butler, sold 440 men, women, and children over a 3-day period.
