Here are the slaves listed in the inventory of the estate of Thomas Moorman, who died in 1766 in Bedford county, VA. I hope that this may prove to be helpful to someone in their research.
And on a side note, I need your advice. Do you think it’s better to transcribe word for word as below, or to do an abstract, which is much easier to read? Or both? Just curious about what other people do with their records.
