Enslaver Information

Name: John Nuckles
Location: Jefferson County, KY
Previous Enslaver:
Enslaver Notes:

1860 census and slave schedules were retrieved for J Nuckles. The slave schedule listed one male at twenty-five years of age. This may have been an approximate match to Burrell Taylor whose estimated birth year was 1831. John’s presumed wife was Susannah, and the 1860 slave schedule listed S Nuckles with two enslaved individuals; a twenty-two year old female and a two year old male. Her personal property in 1860 was valued at $1,100. The search for 1850 census and slave schedules and an 1870 census schedule did not yield positive results for John Nuckles.
