Historic Black Settlements of Ohio
For reasons of length, we were not able to publish all of the data we gathered in researching Ohio’s pre-Civil War Black settlements so we focused primarily on surnames. However, since we went to the trouble of jotting down man of the names, we have decided to list them below for the benefit of genealogists and amateur historians like ourselves.
