Emeline - Inman Cemetery, 62-1 Summary Report, page 10

---

Again, all of the neighbors of Isaac and James Inman are known early pioneers of arsenal and Madison area lands. It should likewise be noted that Isaac Inman was listed as having two slaves in 1840 (see census insert below), but none of the other Inman families were shown as owning slaves. Isaac had only what was termed “household slaves”, as they were both females, of an age that indicated a woman and her daughter. No other census year showed slaves in the Inman household, so they may have been freed or sold, as they don't appear in the estate papers after Isaac passed away in 1840. Additionally, there were no black families in Madison County with the surname Inman in later years after the Civil War, so there were apparently none that were freed from Inman ownership at that time. That suggests that the cemetery name did not come from black Inman families who may have used it. 10 - (2218)
