Note 1: it is possible that Joe Young is the earlier Joe mentioned a few lines above, but because he is the trunk minder, this correlates with other sources that this is, in fact, Joe Young. Note 2:I am not sure which Peggy is Peggy Morant but think it is the one who is 22 not 13 based on who she is living with.

I am adding information about Fife Plantation because I will be adding a list of the slaves owned by James B. Heyward 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.
