I am thankful for this article which holds his confession that MANY of his own children will be enslaved by his brother and/or son. <br />My grandmother, Wille Mae Anderson was born on Jan. 1, 1907 and remembers her grandmother. She also spoke of Gov. Troup giving her plantation which the KKK forced them to leave. <br />My grandmother had an uncle, whom she called Uncle Dan who she said went to court every summer to protest the confiscation of their property and every year the judge would postpone the hearing until the next year....I believe until his death.Chai Yehovah aka Angela Anderson-Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417610874627751100.post-53316695296270536282019-01-22T20:31:57.720-08:002019-01-22T20:31:57.720-08:00I'm finding that I may be related to the gover...I'm finding that I may be related to the governor as well...I know my 3x great Grandparents were slaves of the Governor, and my 3x Grandmother is listed as mulatto 🤔.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266770612192464954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417610874627751100.post-48247531905643074912019-01-10T09:00:51.786-08:002019-01-10T09:00:51.786-08:00I am related to Governor Troup and I just discover...I am related to Governor Troup and I just discovered that my great-great grandfather is his son or the son of his twin brother. DNA is a powerful tool and will tell the truth when history tries to keep it out. I will say this I'm certainly NOT impressed with what I've learned about my Troup family but they have to now answer to God for all they've done. I do love them though because they are a part of me......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452926195077826631noreply@blogger.com
