Southampton County Virginia USGenWeb Archives Wills and Estates Disposition of Slaves, 1782-1803 SLAVEHOLDERS IN VIRGINIA SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY 1782-1803 Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: by Von Mings Stachon (vonstac@comcast.net) Copyright: All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm There are 158 Slaveholder names listed below - a few duplicates names (but different documents) since Wills and Inventory Lists are both included when available. Data was taken from the Wills and Inventory Lists of the individuals listed below. The originals are held by the Library of Virginia. This list should not be considered a complete list of all slaves held during this period in this county. It should be noted that in many cases, the slaves were not given to a wife or other person, but merely loaned and when that person died, the Will specified that the slaves should go to someone else, or sold. The Slaveholder essentially retained control of the slaves after his death. ___________________________ Slaveowner Name: ADAMS, Benjamin Document Type: Will Document Date:12 March 1795 Slave loaned
