Francine, I ran across many, many slave names in the wills and inventories of Buckingham and Albemarle Counties, Va. Many of the tombstones I've seen had the slaves buried next to the owner's family. You could tell the difference because the slave would have one name, i.e., Glasgow, Nan, etc. In many of the wills, the owner would name the individual slave to be given to a certain family member after the death of the widow.
