Robert Ruffin Barrow - Wikipedia

Found out I had two family members that fought in the Civil War.

They fought under the name Barrow and were out of the Barrow Plantation in Louisiana.

Family name was changed from Barrow to Allen after slavery ended

Robert Ruffin Barrow (1798-1875) was one of the wealthiest sugar planters and canal and steamboat owners in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, on the eve of the Civil War. An estimate of the value of his property in 1858 was in excess of $2 million.

So many black Americans don’t know that they could possibly descend from some great people like your ancestors that fought in the civil war. I wish we could somehow get a nation wide genealogy search for everyone. But yeah after slavery ended there were still black folks that remained on plantation for the rest of their lives.
