The majority of
records pertaining to slaves list only their first names, however, in some cases
a surname was given. To assist in searching these individuals two indexes
have been made. ALL entries are included in the
Slaveholder Index,
which has been alphabetized by the slaveholders surname. A separate index
has been made solely for slaves who's surname was listed. The
Slave
Surname Index is alphabetized by surnames of slaves. The County
Record Index has links to counties where multiple records are located
together.
