Enslaved of John Henry Livingston

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: Orangeburg, South Carolina, United States
Surname/tag: Livingston

The 7 November 1849 Will-Probate record for John Henry Livingston (1792-1849) lists his wife Mary Elizabeth Livingston, his daughters Henrietta Livingston, Mary Livingston, Rachel Livingston, his son John Henry Livingston Jr., and two male children named "John"* and "Henry"*, listed without any reference to their parents.

The sourced Probate-Will record lists the enslaved by name. However, in reading of the Will, there is mention of the enslaved and their spouses and children. In support of futher research, two formats are presented here. A table of the enslaved by name as shown in the source and a secondary table reflecting inferred relationships of the enslaved, their spouses and children.
