- Lewis Circle was bequeathed Davey, Luckey, Nancy, Nelly and an unrecorded named boy by George Ground.
- In Will Book 1, George Ground bequeaths enslaved people to Lewis Circle and makes him an executor. However, in IAS Book 1, which has a copy of the will in the will book, Lewis Circle is still recorded as an executor, but enslaved people were bequeathed to Lewis "Zirkle." There was a Lewis Zirkle in the Roanoke area; however, he is not listed as enslaving anyone in the census records. Moreover, since the Will Book lists Lewis Circle both times, it is assumed that Luckey, Davey, Nancy, Nelly, and the unrecorded named boy were bequeathed to Lewis Circle and not Lewis Zirkle. In case this is an error, Lewis Zirkle is linked below.
