NORTH CAROLINA: Columbus County (1845, 1859)

Last September Nadine left a comment which included the names of slaves she had found during her research. As she doesn't blog, I am including the names in this post.

From the 1845 will of Pierce GODWIN or Columbus County, North Carolina: "my negro man ROBBIN"

From the 1859 will of Amos COLEMAN of Columbus, North Carolina: "one negro boy by the name of LUKE and one negro girl by the name of CELEY...one negro boy by the name of JOSH, one girl by the name of RACHEAL...one negro boy by the name of JOEL, one girl by the name of EASTER, and two children by the name of SAM and SIMON...one negro girl by the name of GRACE, one child by the name of NETTER, one boy by the name of RHENKIN."

From the 1845 will of Luke HIGH of Columbus, North Carolina: "the negroes JAROTTE DREW and her child...the negroes SAM and SANDY."
