Hi! You might try getting in touch with Ian Appling in England. I had read somewhere that he was trying to put together a book on, excuse the term, "Black Appling's" He has been in the process of writing a couple of books on the families, so he may be able to help you. You may also try the DAR in Washington, D.C. It is my understanding that they have a pretty good collection on African-American genealogy.

I have seen some old wills from my ancestors, but don't recognize George. What dates do you have for him? Do you know who is owner was? I believe that a lot of the slave rolls have been put on microfilm. Try your local library and tap into the AGLL (American Genealogical Lending Library) or with a local LDS church. They have great people who work in their family history libraries at each church. You can order microfilm, fiche and they usually have genealogical cds available.

Also, be sure to check with Family Tree Maker. They may have some good stuff also. Good Luck with your research.

Take Care - Karen
