Hello:
Can anyone point me in the direction of a source that will give me
details on exactly how many slaves Thomas Jefferson sold off during his
lifetime?  (I think I can get a figure for how many were sold after his
death in the estate sale).  I know of several anecdotes about his
intentions of reuniting families or at least spouses through sales, but
I'm interested in an actual number.
Thanks,
David Kiracofe
