As Black History Month winds down, let’s look at another invaluable research resource – Runaway Slave Advertisements. Slaves did not always want to remain on the plantation or on the most recent plantation where they found themselves either to resist slavery, or, if relocated far from family, to try and reunite with kin. There are xx projects focused on these records though you can access them using other techniques also. Louisiana Runaway Slave Advertisements, 1836-1865 [database] NC Runaway Slave Advertisements, 1751-1840 [database] Virginia Run away from the Subscriber – Runaway Slave Advertisements 1745-1775: A selection [article] The Geography of Slavery (Advertisements) (1730s-1800s) [database] -- is a digital collection of advertisements for runaway and captured slaves and servants in 18th- and 19th-century Virginia newspapers. Texas Runaway Slave Project Documenting Runaway Slaves [MS] You are not limited to finding these advertisements through these databases. Search on “runaway slave” in databases like Chronicling America (free), Newspapers.com, Genealogybank, and other digitized newspaper services and you will find many entries, possibly in a newspaper local to where your ancestors lived. Often these advertisements provide a detailed description of the individual and sometimes with information on what plantation s/he was born on, who sold to and where, and other helpful details.
