DESCENDANTS


Oatlands is grounded in History—

valuing and lifting the voices of all who have shaped and been shaped by this historic site. 


Stories of Enslaved Families and their Descendants

Locating descendants and documenting their stories is an ongoing project at Oatlands and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Loudoun County.  Of particular interest are the last names of Allen, Ball, Bryant, Buchanan, Bush, Carter, Day, Fisher, Gleed, Howard, Jackson, Johnson, Lewis, Mason, Moton, Murray, Russ/Rust, Stewart/Steward, Thornton, Valentine, Warner, and Washington.

We will tell the stories and provide updates as we learn more about individuals and families.  If you have information to share, please call 703-727-0670.
