2nd it is my will and desire that my Daughter Dicey Wannan? Shall retain as her part of my estate one negro by the name of Hannah now in her possession.

3rd it is my will and desire that my daughter Jane Leek shall retain her proportion of my estate the negro girl Salley now in her possession.

I'm looking for information on an owner of Milam slaves in Kentucky (Paducah or Columbus, Fulton County) or Alabama or Henry County, Tennessee circa 1865. My great-grandfather was reportedly the son of the overseer of a tobacco farm in one of the aforementioned regions. His name was George Milam. My family web page can be found on this site under African-Americans. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
