Today, I visited the Family History Center in NE Philadelphia to review probate and will information on the film I had ordered for Thomas slaveowners in Montgomery County, Alabama.

The first slaveowner I came acoss was John Thomas who died in sometime in 1835. 

John Thomas owned approximately 221 slaves.  The most unusual part of this inventory of slaves, is that some of the slaves had last names and seemed to be grouped by family members.

I am in the process of transcribing this inventory to post as a web page.
