Census

Edward inherited some unnamed slaves from his father's estate. He also purchased the following[2]:

Sam, Mariah and her children: Philis & Richard
Ceasar

Probate

The slaves are not listed in the probate inventory sale. They should have been recorded in a Chancery Court Records but Bedford County did not record any Chancery Court Sessions from 1861 to March 1865 likely due to the war.
