Is Sook of Frederick MD Delbra’s Sook Hannah of Jefferson, Georgia

Baker Johnson and the Johnson Brothers were the owners of an Iron Works Plantation called The Catoctin Furnace. Before Baker Johnson died in 1811, he wrote a will allocating this slaves to his family. Out of the 70+ slaves one was named Sook and another was named Betty. Delbra’s Sook of Jefferson Georgia had a daughter named Betty so this propelled Delbra to determine if the two Sooks were actually the same person. In this session I present information to help support this “theory”.
