Researching: Ned, Minerva, Milt, Zack [surname unknown]
    I am trying locate a black family that moved to Macomb sometime after the Civil War. I am not sure of their last name. At least one was a slave of the Daniel family. Records support the tradition that there was a slave woman named Minerva who was brought with the family from Kentucky to Audrain County, MO. She married a negro preacher, named Ned, and had two sons, Milt and Zack.This family moved to Macomb, IL, where Ned preached. I have a little information to share with descendants of this family. Traditions in the family say that there was some continuing contact between the two families into the 20th century.
