I have created a profile for [[Lee-43707|George Theodore Lee (abt.1792-1879)]], a slave owner, and listed 3 slaves named in a will.
Other named enslaved persons still need to be added, from the New Orleans Slave Manifest you can find on the sources links.
However, further verification is needed. I believe he took a large number of slaves to New Orleans to sell in 1857. His 1850 slave schedule lists 14 slaves. His 1860 slave schedule lists 5 slaves. A problem with the manifest is that it states he is from Texas. He does have in-law relatives -- Joseph Weisiger and some of his sons, living in Texas. I'd love for someone to see if they can find a signature from George T Lee of Danville, Boyle, Kentucky and compare it to his signature on the manifest, or in some other way verify the manifest.
I'd appreciate any help you can give, as I don't know how to verify this information, but do believe it is valid.
