HANDY, JONES posted by Lee Freeman on Thursday, July 15, 2004

Looking for any information on a freed slave named James HANDY, of Princess Anne or Baltimore, his wife Nancy JONES, or their son, William WISE HANDY (ca.1811-1873). Said James and Nancy HANDY were the great grandparents of William Christopher, W. C. HANDY, the famous African-American musician known as the Father of the Blues. The couple allegedly received their freedom before the American Revolution. However, their son, William Wise, was a slave who ran away from his Princess Anne plantation with his two brothers via the Underground Railroad, but Willliam W. was captured and sold into slavery in Franklin County, AL, to Bernard McKiernan's (ca. 1785-1858) Spring Hill Plantation. Any information greatly appreciated.
