I did research on the probate records for Patrick County Virginia and collected those records that had slaves mentioned. James Bartlett was one of those individuals: Owner Barlett, James Slave Name Sam Instrument Will Value of Slave $0.00 Devisee Mussey, Susanna & Nancy & Barlett, Jane Value of Sale $0.00 Date 04/14/1821 Book 1 Page 140 I hope this helps you in some way. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
