Re: Who am I.
>Do you have a list of the blacks that came from tha Quarterman names.
So far as I know, there is no definitive list.
Many are mentioned in basic books about Midway, such as
Stacy's History and Records of Midway Church
http://www.quarterman.org/books/stacy.html
Myers, The Children of Pride
http://www.quarterman.org/books/myers.html
However, those sources are limited by what was recorded by contemporaries,
which was sketchy about blacks.
Many modern African-American Quartermans trace their ancestry to Midway.
There is (or at least used to be; I haven't heard about it in a few years)
an annual reunion in Savannah.
I think some of them are on the book list,
http://www.quarterman.org/booklist.html
I'd suggest joining that list and asking there.
Also, if you can say a bit about your ancestors, I may be able to
put you in touch with one or more likely relatives.
