Yeah, when you can buy and sell human beings, and will them as property to your heirs, there are all sorts of ways to describe it. In my great great grandfather's will, he never used the term "slave." But he left "my negro man Billy" and "my negro woman Amy" to his wife, and "the first Child of my negro woman" to his daughter...along with his horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
