As a member of the US Black Heritage Project, I have added a list of the slaves owned by John Betts (1718-1761) on this profile with categories using the standards of the US Black Heritage Exchange Program. This helps us connect enslaved ancestors to their descendants. See the Heritage Exchange Portal for more information.
