Data was extracted from the Wills and Estate Inventories of the following 
individuals.  The originals of these documents are held in the Library of 
Virginia.  This list is not a complete listing of all slaves during this time 
frame in this county.

I have not attempted to follow the chain transfer of the slaves.  They are 
frequently lent to the wife with the stipulation that if she marries, they are 
to be divided differently, usually between their children, but not always.

Slaveholder: Prince, William
Document type: Will
Document date: 19 Oct 1801
Slave loaned to: Patsey Prince, his wife
                            :Patt, negro woman
Comments: This Will was recorded in Southampton County, however, he states that 
he lives in the county of Sussex.  Patt is to go to her sons John and William if 
Patsey remarries or dies.
