Slave Names Found in My Research

Slave cabins, Bass Place,
Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia

Last month, for Black History Month, Schalene Dagutis started the Slave Name Roll Project.  She began to go through will and property records she has obtained in her research and posted the names of any slaves listed in the documents.  She also has invited other researchers to send her links to their lists, to bring the information together in a central location.  I just finished transcribing two wills and an inventory from Elbert County, Georgia, and these are the names I recovered.
