Description

The book contains the correspondence between Christopher Desloge, whose ancestors in early Missouri had been slaveholders, and Theresa Delsoin, whose ancestor Malindy Wilson was a slave in Franklin County Missouri. Delsoin and her sister, Mildred Johnson, coauthored the 2005 book "Malindy's freedom" about their ancestor. The "etc." of the title refers to the use of that word in wills at the end of property lists that included slaves along with other household items. The year-long correspondence lasted from Oct. 2009-Sept. 2010.
