This list is revised as new information becomes available. If you would like to add to or correct any of this information, please post a message to the discussion group on this web site, write Carol McDavid at mcdavid@publicarchaeology.org ,or post a message on a feedback form.

There is additional information about some of these individuals (as well as people who lived on other plantations) on this web site. Links are provided when that is the case.
