Sylvester is an admired elder in my neighborhood. He happens to be my next door neighbor. He is active, happy, and full of stories. Born on Christmas Eve, 1930's to share croppers in Louisburg, NC, Sylvester shares some of what he has seen and experienced over his lifetime.

Cliftons- Sylvester & I discussed how many African American's took their last name from their slave owners. Clif believes that he heard his grandmother say that she remembered slavery as a little girl. We have spoken too about both the white Cliftons in Lousiburg as well as the black Cliftons. I found this document in my search too- I love genealogy research and think it would be interesting to look at primary sources to determine if there is a connection here. \xa0http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ajac/ncfranklin.htm
