Is anyone aware of this Bible from South Carolina listing individuals freed by William Turpin? Or those freed by Thomas Wadsworth in his will? The article says the University is working on tracing descendants.

Thomas Wadsworth has a WikiTree profile. I have added what might seem to be contradictory categories for him; Abolitionist, and Charleston County Slave Owner.  I have not yet found William Turpin.

It would be great if we could make profiles for those freed!
