Samuel McCraw's profile - ID above - has his will appended, as a suource document. It lists enslaved people he was "bequeathing" to his family. I've tried to tag the profile as "Slavery", but it needs a county in South Carolina, and ther is none for Abbeville South Carolina. I want to accurately  tag this profile, as at some point profiles for his enslaved people could also be done.

I would add the slave owner category using the county the will was probated or written in. In this case it would be Abbeville County, South Carolina. [[Category: Abbeville County, South Carolina, Slave Owners]] and [[Category: Abbeville County, South Carolina, Slaves]]
