Introduction

The Macon family was prominent in New Kent and Hanover Counties, Virginia. Colonel William Macon (1693-1773) built Mount Prospect[1] in New Kent County. His son, William Macon (1725-1813) lived in Hanover County until inheriting Mount Prospect. Colonel William Hartwell Macon (1759-1843) represented New Kent County in the House of Delegates from 1785 to 1788. He meticulously recorded information concerning the slaves he owned, a habit continued by his grandson, Dr. William Hartwell Macon (1817-1891), a physician in Hanover County.

This page documents the enslaved owned by the grandson Dr. William Hartwell Macon.
