Slavery, the Civil War, Contraband Camps, D.C. Barry Farm and Flemons (Flemming, Fleming)
"Fredrick Douglass was one of my great-great grandfather's homies. They both lived in Hillsdale / Anacostia at the same time."
--Keith M. Flemons, Sr.
NOTE
I
n the following, pages the first names "Abner", "Dabney" and "Debney" are listed in the cited records. We have come to determine that they are all referring to the same person. We also find that the last names for Abner, Dabney and Debney are spelled either as "Fleming or Flemming". The family name "Flemons" came along later, but refers to this same line. More on this will be discussed later.
