Description	The “Take Them in Families” project began with the objective of identifying the enslaved families who former United States president James Monroe sold to Casa Bianca, a plantation located in Jefferson County, Florida. While uncovering the story of Casa Bianca Plantation, we detected that other groups of enslaved people had been purchased for the plantation and decided to expand our dataset to all those enslaved at Casa Bianca. The Take Them in Families project is genealogical; therefore, this dataset records the names of all those who had been enslaved at Casa Bianca along with their descendants and traces family lines to the present. This dataset can assist researchers in exploring the geographical origins of the enslaved in Middle Florida during its early settlement and territorial period. It also allows for the study of post-Emancipation migration patterns for the region. We have made this information available on our website, TakeThemInFamilies.com.
