The Williams Family - Photo 4

This photograph shows a list of enslaved individuals who were counted as part of the property inventories for Providence Gadsby, John Gadsby's wife, in 1858. The names that are bolded appear in both John and Providence's property inventories. Keziah and William Williams are no longer present; Mary F. Williams may have married and become Mary Frances Long. At some point between 1850 and 1858, sisters Maria and Keziah were separated from each other.
