    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gAC.2ACE/2742 Message Board Post: I thought someone on this web page was interested in finding out various slaves owned by the Davis family of Frederick Co. VA. Found in will book 19, 160, is the account of the estate sales of Margaret Davis (widow of Wm. Davis) dated 29 Jan 1826, probated 9 Mar 1826, names of slaves: Old Molly, Emily & child, Richard, Reuben, David, Gabriel, Samuel, NELSON (purchased by Andrew Chunn), Robert, John, Patrick & wife & child, Mariah & Harry & Judy. I thought the first name began with a "N". There are other head of households bearing the surname Davis that owned slaves.
