My name is Joseph Roby. I am a descendant of the Dulany family who once owned Oakley. I am researching the people my ancestors enslaved there. The purpose of this blog will be to document my research and enable me to share it with as many people as possible.
I hope you will join me on this journey as I dig through archives, connect with descendants, and write my book of narrative lineages of all the people and families enslaved by my ancestors in Northern Virginia.
Let me know if you think you are connected in some way to someone or some place I am researching. My email address is: enslavedatoakley@gmail.com.
