John Robinson's slaves/plantations (SC to AL)

Posted: 25 May 2012 9:10PM GMT
Classification: Will
Surnames: Robinson, Long
I'm looking for a full transcription of John Robinson's Will. He was married to Susan Thomas and had plantations called Orangebush, SC; Lee Plantation in Marengo, and Mt Hope in Marengo, AL. Mt. Hope had 150 slaves with 3,000 acres. Lee Plantation had 600 acres.

When John died in 1849, he left Lee plantation to D. Joye? who he purchased it from in SC. Mt Hope was left to William and Orangebush was left to Murray, originally purchased from Nash Roach in SC. John is buried in Prairiville, AL.

More specifically, I'm trying to trace my gg grandfather, Jordan Robinson b 1849 and married to July Long in 1868. I have July's parents, but not Jordan's. I am also looking for John's middle initial.

Any information you have would be very helpful.
