I am a direct descentdent of the Ladeveze Family that is mentioned in this book. My grandmother's two brothers, John and Frank Ladeveze married two of John Hope's sisters, Georgia and Alethia. They moved to California around the turn of the century and apparently passed for white. I am attempting to locate them. If you have any knowledge regarding this family I would appreciate hearing from you. In 1914 they lived in Spokane Washington. For the history of free blacks in Augusta, Georgia, this book is an excellent source. This past week I located the grave of Madison Newton, who is referred to in the book, but cannot find the Hope graves
