    RE: Faunsdale Plantation. Dr. Thomas A. Harrison did not bring slaves from Virginia. The slaves he brought to Faunsdale were the slaves of his wife, Louisa McKinley Collins Harrison that she inherited from her father Josiah Collins III at Edenton and Somerset Place, North Carolina. Dr. Harrison only had one slave from Virginia named Oliver.

    I am a descendant of the slaves of Louisa M Collins Harrison.

    My great great grandfather was a slave on Faunsdale Plantation. Is it possible to visit this Plantation? My family and I are planning to visit the area soon and would love to see the place where he can from before he moved to Texas.

    We have traced our family tree back to London Collins, born in 1841, Shepard Collins was born in 1842, both as slaves from North Carolina at the same time. Hope this helps, looking forward to chatting with you.
