you my want to also add the 1860 U.S. Slave Schedule to this for Christopher Morgan as well... It is available online and it has over fifteen unidentified enslaved ancestors that need to be identified! There is one female in 1860 that on that schedule that you have already identified. See Morgan-33371

I've added the 1860 census for a couple of the owners. I still have at least one more to add. Question - I thought we were not supposed to create profiles for unknown enslaved persons. The instructions I read said to only create them when we have a first name and to use the slave owner's last name as a placeholder. Thus, I did create a profile for Mary "Morgan" (listed under Wills).

Thank you so much for sharing all this information... Hopefully someone can identify all these African Heritage persons someday.
