SLAVE NAMES IN FAYETTE COUNTY, TN

Source: Fayette County Will Book A, 1836-1854.

The following information was copied from a two-volume transcription owned by the Memphis & Shelby County Library (call number: 929.3 F28w). I have tried to copy the transcription exactly, but please keep in mind that errors are likely.

This website only covers wills from the years 1836 through 1854 in which slaves are mentioned by name.

The list of wills is ordered chronologically. You can use the Slave Surname Index and Testator Index to jump to a particular name. To find any other name, use the search function on your web browser.

The title of each record contains the slaveowner's name and the page number of his/her will. Below each title are the names of individual slaves and their dispositions.

If you locate an ancestor on this list, please feel free to (naomi at spiny.com). I am happy to share any additional information that I may have.
