Biography

Edy Thompson is a part of US Black heritage.

Edy was born before 1855, based on her enslaver's inventory probated in 1855. It is assumed Edy is a female.

Edy's last name at birth is as yet unknown, thus her enslaver's surname of Thompson is being used temporarily.

Edy was a slave of Noah L Thompson (abt.1811-abt.1854) in Leon County, Florida. She was listed on his probate inventory on 3 Feb 1855 as being valued at $900.^[1]

When William Davis died, his probated inventory included the slaves who previously belonged to Noah Thompson. They were listed on April 6, 1855 in Davis' probate record.^[2]
