This post is part of an ongoing project to record names of enslaved people of Greene County, Georgia I find in historical records.
From the minutes of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Penfield, Greene County, Georgia.
Shiloah Church, January 16, 1859
Church met in conferrance for the benefit of the collerd members. J. R. Young, Modr. opened the dore of the church for the reception of members. No applicant. Willis, servant to Wm. N. Williams made application the church to to take a wife as he had been separated from his wife for some time and no expectation of ever being with her anymore. The church granted him the request. No other business. Conference adjourned.
Wm. N. Williams, C.C. J. R. Young, Modr.

Willis was included in a previous post; however, I thought the piece of information about his wives was interesting.
