Below is a listing of slaves nentioned in various Dekalb County
documents. To begin, the list starts with slaves mentioned in wills. The
testator of the will is named here with a list of his slaves, and the
date the will was written, not date registered, because sometimes ages
of the slaves were given, and therefore the year the ages were written
in the will is important to calculate the birth year. If several
codiciles were added to the will, the date is
the date of the last codicile.
