I am doing a research project about the Free Persons of Color in Rutherford Co. TN. I am not related to the Rouse family.

As part of my research, I have obtained copies of the "Certificates of Freedom" for the following persons named ROUSE:

Isaac

Edmond, son of James and Mary

Richard

Thomas, son of Lucy

Martha and Manerva, daughters of Sally, and Manerva's 5 year old son

Ezekiel, son of Edmond and Sally

The Certificate of Freedom documents contain a physical description of each individual - skin color, height, build, hair, scars, etc. These individuals are clearly described as people of color of African, not Indian, descent.

If you will email me off line, at

jak.ish@verizon.net

I will be happy to make copies of these documents and send them to your snail mail address. Looking forward to hearing from you.
