Slaves of Joel Early Sr per his will as amended by codicil.
Note: The year of death of Joel's children is shown in the following table as many died within a few short years of their inheritance. Joel Jr did live on until 1851, though he was still a minor at the time of his father's death. Joel Jr was to live with his older brother Jeremiah who was designated as his guardian. Jeremiah died young, in 1818. Thomas Winston was named an executor for the estate of Jeremiah Early. There are records that show Thomas Winston rented the "Home Plantation" from the estate of Jeremiah Early. It appears this in land that would ultimately become property of Joel Early Jr in the provision of the will, "And the last above named tract including my manor house & plantation in trust to & for the use & benefit of my son Joel Early until he shall arrive at the age of forty five years; & to him and his heirs in fee simple".
These notes are placed here as there is unsourced documentation relating to Thomas Winston naming a number of slaves associated with him through an exchange with Joel Early in 1820. There is a high correlation of the names of those enslaved left to Joel Jr with those that appeared on the list associated with Thomas Winston.
