Some non-South Carolina narratives, however, have also been used within this article. The majority of full-length narratives have been written by males, so, in order to give voice to otherwise voiceless females, female narratives from the South as a whole were utilized. These narratives consisted of Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861, and reprinted New York: Oxford University Press, 1988)

The five respondents married before the Civil War were as follows: Albert Means, 19 years old in 1865, and a field worker. His father belonged to a different owner, as did his wife, Jane (see Rawick, Vol. 3, Part 3, 182-84). Alfred Sligh, 23 years old in 1865, and also a field worker. His parents had the same owner, and his wife Sarah, also belonged to this owner (see Rawick, Vol. 3, Part 4, 92-94) s 15 Gordon Bluford, 20 years old in 1865, and a house worker. She resided with 250 other slaves, and married Arthur Bluford, who belonged to the same owner (see Rawick, Vol. 2, Part 1, 62-64). Louisa Davis was 103 years old at the time of her interview. She was a house worker, and her father and mother belonged to the same owner. Her husband belonged to a different owner (see Rawick, Vol. 2, Part 1, 299-503). Nancy Washington was 32 years old in 1865, and worked in the house, then the field. Her owner only owned her mother and siblings. She was married to a man belonging to another owner (see Rawick, Vol. 3, Part 4, 184-87).

The South Carolina WPA results can be compared with those from the small sample of full-length slave narratives. It was found that only two of the narrators (Charles Ball and Tom Jones), commented on their own family structure upon reaching adulthood, both of whom resided within cross-plantation unions. However, when the household structure of the parents of the narrators was established, it was found that, of the 10 narrators who actually mentioned their parents' residential arrangements, 4 had parents who lived together (40 per cent); 3 had parents who lived in cross-plantation marriages (30 per cent); and 3 lived within female-headed households (30 per cent). Despite the fact that a higher percentage of slaves who wrote full-length narratives, then, lived within female-headed households, when compared with the wpa results, the percentage of those who lived within nuclear and cross-plantation families was roughly the same.

Letter to Mr. J. F. Cooper [overseer at Gowrie] from Charles Izard Manigault, 10 January 1848, Charles Izard Manigault Letterbook, 1846-1848, South Caroliniana Library, The University of South Carolina, Columbia, Manigault however, did have around one hundred slaves living in his Gowrie Plantation on Argyle Island in the Savannah River. This would have meant that his slaves would have had a wider choice of potential spouses upon their place of residence than many other slaves. Hence the consequences of Manigault's decision would not have had as many repercussions as elsewhere. For a more detailed description of Manigault's plantation see the introduction to James M. Clifton, ed., Life and Labor on Argyle Island: Letters and Documents of a Savannah River Rice Plantation (Savannah, Georgia: Beehive Press 1978).
