I found these wills belonging to Boykin Witherspoon's grandparents on a site entitled
"SLAVES OF SOUTH CAROLINA RELIGIOUS DISSENTERS." Boykin Witherspoon was from Darlington County, South Carolina and was the slaveowner of my ggg-grandfather, Stephen Pressley who was born in 1820 so the transactions below took place before his time but some of the bequeathed slaves might have been been his ancestors but I have not yet established that. If you know of a connection, please advise.
