[Non-Sequitur]

Writers such as Orville Burton found data in the census records sufficient enough to obtain marriage and family trends. Look him up and see.

It's been a while since I read "In My Father's House" so I'll have to see if I can dig up a copy and see if your exaggerating. Again.

Your claim that slave marriages were not documented is pure nonsense.

Your claim that they are documented by the census is not supported by any evidence you've offered to date.

[PeaRidge]

Let's see now. You agree to go and research a book by an author I suggested to you that used census data to document slave marriages while telling me before hand that:

“Your claim that they (slave marriages) are documented by the census is not supported by any evidence you've offered to date”?

Are you nuts? How could your research (?) be anything but biased.

Hey stand! Get a load of the bias from this poster!

Look, I'll save you some trouble and will do the research for you non-sequitur. Here it is, and feel free to quote me:

“Lo and behold, PeaRidge........I cannot find a bit of information on slave marriages from this author. Therefore, the census data does not exist!. So there”

How does that sound to you? And since we all know you will not do the research, don't bother asking me for other sources.
