Slave Name Release

Names in Wills

I've decided I will post the names of all slaves I find during my research. 

Peter Johnston was the grandfather of Edward Johnston. Edward Johnston owned my 2nd great-grandmother Susan Fisher. Interestingly enough, Edward's maternal grandmother is named Elizabeth Fisher. I keep wondering if her family is where the name Fisher came from. I'm positive there are wills, deeds, bills of sale, or inventories that could help prove or disprove this, but I haven't found them yet. Anyway, Peter Johnston died on 6 December 1786 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. He named 14 slaves in his will.
