For four generations, European-descent Kilbys enslaved men, women, and children in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties of Virginia. Family history author Timothy Kilby took on the monumental task of researching and piecing together documentary fragments and DNA evidence to find individual identities and hidden realities.Gourdvine is the factual account of three generations of African Americans beginning in the mid-1830s and continuing into the next century. First, there are Sarah and her daughter Juliet Ann, human beings who lived under the cloak of non-personhood, subject to the will of enslavers ready to rob their labor and deny them human identity. And then there are Juliets children, Simon, John, James, daughter Sarah, and Bettie, the generation that would find freedom after emancipation and survive pervasive racial discrimination as adults.This books stories reveal the facts, events, and characters of Kilbys, both Black and White, and attempt to return humanity to those altogether forgotten through time and prejudice.Gourdvine Black and White is the 2022 Phillis Wheatley Book Award Winner for Nonfiction Genealogical Research and the 2021 International AAHGS Book Award Winner for Nonfiction Regional Genealogy.
