Deed In Trust. Hugh M. Wellborn places in Trust for his wife Nancy Wellborn five tracts of land (3 listed as having 850, 20, 50 acres), sixteen enslaved people, all of his livestock, and all of his household and kitchen furniture. Nathan G. Martin is the Trustee. The enslaved are listed as “all of the interest that the said H.M. Willborn has in the following Negro Slaves (to wit) Jim, Sarah, Columbus, Mary, Caroline, Frank, Miner, Louisa, Robert, Henry, Prisilla, Fanny, William, George, Milly, Linda, all of the said slaves now being in the possession of the said H.M. Wellborn…” Trustee Martin is to “hold use and apply the same together with the increase and proffits thereof for the sole and separate use of Nancy Wellborn, wife of said H.M. Wellborn, for and during the time of her natural life”, and after her death, everything, including the enslaved will be divided among Nancy’s living children. No further information about the enslaved, their ages or relationships in this document. Sometimes “Wellborn” looks like “Willborn”, but the “Wellborn” family shows up in lots of other Wilkes County records of this era. Document was signed February 4, 1858, presented in Court February 1858,
