PLAYER FAMILY
Lawson Player

Thomas T Player and his wife Mary Sumter Hampton are found in the 1860 Bossier Parish census. It’s believed these slaves came off the Player and Adger family plantations, some may be offspring while some are said to have been pure blood African. Most all listed as born in South Carolina. Story is that a pure African slave of the Adgers named Yammaho took the name of Player, read the story here - Days at Chicora PDF
