My mother in law was digging around my father in law's ancestry.com info
His family was from western NC. My MIL found an old relative of his from the 1840's will. It was very specific that his daughters would be left a negro girl worth at least $500 and his son was to be left a Negro boy worth at least $500. They each also got a horse worth $50 and a saddle worth $8-$10.
It was pretty surreal reading that.
