I am new to researching in VA. So if you already know of this site,forgive me.:) I was impressed with their searching abilities and I found many references to slaves and slaves mentioned in wills.

For example, I just noticed a will of Rawleigh CHINN mentioning two slaves, one named Eliza.

Take Care,

Gail
