I'm glad I have caught up for a while, at least a little. It has been on my list of things to do, but somehow it kept slipping further down the list. I was stunned when I discovered I had not written about new links on the Wikipedia newspaper archives "in witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 5th day of January in the year of our Lord 1839" "I further will and desire that the following Slaves be sold by my Executor at publick or private sale as he may think best to witĪnd out of the proceeds of the sale that my Executor pay to the surviving children of my Daughter Elizabeth Robinson Deceased six hundred dollars. Gabriel and their future increase forever. "and I give to my daughter Ann Bogges and her heirs forever the following Slaves to wit Nancy and her child now at the breast and "and I give to my daughter Amelia Wood and her Heirs forever Slaves "I give my daughter Sarah Rogers and her hur Heirs forever the following Slaves to wit "I Benjamin Wood of the County of Harrison and State of Virginia do hereby make my last will and Testament. I hope that sharing these names may help someone find an ancestor. She has allowed me to recover their names and list them here, and I am adding them to the Slave Name Roll Project. My cousin recently told me she had discovered that one of her ancestors had bequeathed several slaves in his will.
