So being home all day bored leads you to a lot of genealogy. So a couple of days ago, I decided to write down all the slaves the Antonetti family owned according to the 1872 Central Registry of Slaves which can be found on ancestry.com. And boy did they have a good number of slaves; 97 to be exact that were registered! It seems that these brothers might have owned some type of sugar or coffee farm/plantation which was were these slaves were keep, probably a prominent family in the area. I decided to jot down the names, where they were from, their parents’ names if they were mentioned, their age, a guesstimate for the year they would have been born, their profession (which was mainly just laborer), the names of their children if they had any and their martial status (which most were single), and lastly the page they were found on.
Just a few side-notes:
- You’ll notice that some are highlighted yellow and that’s because they were found on the 1910 Census still alive.
- The list will probably keep evolving and changing in some type of way. Whether that be including more concrete dates or names, I’ll probably go back to add more details about who these slaves were.
- Some names appear with an “@” followed by another word. My theory is that these might be other names the slaves went by. From the looks of it, some had other names they were known by. I could easily be wrong, so if someone knows what it stands for please do tell!
- The list is not ordered alphabetically but by who their parents were. This way the children appear together as best as they could so that I can start developing a pattern of who was who’s offspring and what not.
- Some names might be followed by a (?), this means that the name wasn’t really clear and so I took a stab at what it most resembled.
Here’s the list!
