I am descendant of a woman named Jemima Scott, who I've had a little trouble tracking down. But while googling her for genealogy research I came across another Jemima Scott from another century who was a freed slave. A bunch of slaves were freed in the same county all with the notation that their owners were convicted to do so by their faith. I have to think a preacher was part of that but who knows. Anyway, there was also a big thing about White Slavery with pics online and the stuff they used during the Abolitionist movement. And so I started thinking--how many people are actually descendants of former slaves and don't know it or are like Angelina but they look completely Caucasian. BTW I think it is ridiculous in these times with so many multi-racial people that our books have so few. So Angelina is what if combined with looking at those pics and imagining those little girls grown up! She is completely fictional!Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374890314421273101.post-54455248655653780632013-05-02T06:12:08.468-07:002013-05-02T06:12:08.468-07:00My tag line is Overcoming Through Time and when I ...My tag line is Overcoming Through Time and when I was solo, I had that as the name of my blog. I was not happy doing it by myself and admired Diana's reviews. I met with her in SC--that is a testimony in itself lol, and she agreed to come on board. We celebrate her two year anniversary next week! Thomas Umstaadt Jr. rxd we add the With God's Help because although it was something Diana and I knew our blog was about, we wanted readers to know so Overcoming Through Time - With God's Help was the title. Then I was rxd to separate my tagline and website from the blog names, lol! So we are Overcoming With God. Teresa, our poet and awesome reviewer, and Marian joined us next a little over a year ago! In the fall God brought us Noela, another amazing reviewer. ALL of us have inflammatory conditions and we didn't know that until we got together! We are all friends now, too, which makes OWG so special. We want to minister to others and encourage folks.

Was she completely fictional, based on a character from real life, or were details taken from actual people but in a generalized sense? For some reason, I can see where you may have based some of her on a true character by some of your details.

I love to hear her inspiring msg of how to live everyday life. That song "I need you, Lord, I need you--every day I need you. My one defense, my righteousness, oh my God how I need you." That is what Joyce gives the listener--bits of God's Word that affect us in our daily needs.

One of the family members at Shirley Plantation inspired my hero for another full length book that is as of yet unpublished. I learned from the historian at SP, Julian Charity, that the Union army beat this poor man to death (he was elderly at the time) because they thought he harbored a Confederate family member (he had not--poor man didn't even know where his kinsman was but he wasn't on his farm.)
