These Yuilles have a reunion every few years in Detroit Michigan. I have a copy of Thomas yuille's will dated 3 January 1825 listing all the names and who they were bequeathed to. Do you want a copy of this?

Dear Estella Yule Prior, That would be excellent if you could give me a copy of Thomas Yuille's Will. George His Brother is my Grt Grt Grt Grt GF. Hope you are keeping well and your research is nothing but excellent and has been a great help to many of the Family of all spellings Kind regrrds and many thanks Jeff Yuille in Melbourne Australia

Re: Yuille Slaves of Campbell and Halifax Counties Virginia
Thanks for your reply!!!! I already have the will, thanks for your offer. The problem I am having is where these slaves were from? If I can find out where they were bought, then I could track down the ship. I am doing this research for a fellow who is a decedant from the Yuille slaves. He spells his name as Ewell.
Thanks!!

Re: Yuille Slaves of Campbell and Halifax Counties Virginia
There are a number of researchers working on both the Slaves and the family of Thoms Yuille/Ewell in Virginia. Barry Ewell in Utah has a great deal of information on these families. I have a list of the slaves from the will of Thomas. The families from the Detroit area used to hold reunions.

I would love to find out more on this. I also found out that Alexander Yuille also owned slaves.

Re: Yuille Slaves of Campbell and Halifax Counties Virginia
I am doing a little geneology for a decedant of some of the Yuille slaves, and they want to trace their ancestors roots. It would be great to find out more.
Thanks!!
