Photos of Sites that Henry Bibb Describes from his Slave Narratives  |

Gatewood Plantation where Henry Bibb was a slave. |
 |
| Fairlawn, the Sibley Plantation- Walton (Henry) Bibb was given to Albert G. Sibley in 1827 when he married Harriet White, Judge David White's daughter. Sibley sold Henry Bibb to his brother shortly after his marriage as part of liquidating his Kentucky holdings and moving to Arkansas. Bibb worked on the Sibley plantation until 1835 when he asked William Gatewood to purchase him so he could be closer to his wife and child at Gatewood's plantation at Bedford. |
 |
| Abbotsford (now Sulphur)- When Harriet White married Albert G. Sibley, her father, Judge David White of New Castle, gave Walton (Henry) Bibb to Sibley. Henry would have accompanied Harriet's baggage from New Castle to her new home at Fairlawn Plantation on the Little Kentucky River. Abbottsford had two fords, one heading northwest to Sligo, the other north to Bedford. |
