CHILDREN OF SLAVES TAKEN IN INFANCY (Continued from page one) nights. If he went on Wednesday, he had to be back in the field the next morning, but when he went on Saturday nights, he could -tay until Monday morning. If the girl’s plantation was too far away, lie would go only once in two weeks, maybe, and was then given a little more time,”
Mr. herring related.
“Who got the children? Why, the owner of the girl. They wanted the: woman to hove babies, so they could sell tin in or raise thehm to work on
their own plantations.
“We were not taught anything from books. If a slave was caught with a
hook, he was whipped.”
Mr. Herring, in the last year of the Civil War, ran away from the plantation in Logan county and went to Russellville, Ky., where he got on the train and reached Bowling Green, where he enlisted in the 13th U. S. Heavy Artillery, made up of former -laves with white men as officers. He was in some skirmishes but contract'd small pox while in camp at the mouth of the Cumberland river, which disease caused the los- of his
vision.
William Herring’s father was also a Greencastle lesident. Me was Perry Mrl.enn, who died here a ntinibei of year- ago,. Into Perry Mi Ecun .- late life came an unexpected romance, in that he found, here at Greencastle, the man who, a- a youth, was his young master. The latter was Finis McLean( father of Ewing McLean and grandfather of Donald McLean. The two were of about the same age, and back in Dixieland, Fini- Mcl^an I and his young body servant went together through many experiences that they recalled with us to when they had become old, here in Greencastle. Finis McLean, the white owner, was prominent in the aristocratic life of the Blue Gras- state, and a leader politically. , Mr-. William Herring was of the i Whittaker estate, and her son, Charles, wife’s parents were of the Bibbs plantation, also of Kentucky.
