Has anyone researched his ownership of slaves? 32 in 1810 and 27 in 1820, 15 of whom were under 14, per census records for those years. Slaves are often mentioned by name in 18th century wills but I do not find many wills for folks who died 1800-1860 in Virginia.
Any information would be appreciated. charsphillips@gmail.com. Thank you. charlotte
