State Museum: Finding Priscilla's Children

In 1756, an African girl was sold at a slave auction to South Carolina planter Elias Ball.  Ball named the girl Priscilla. Using documents from the last 256 years,  Priscilla’s Children traces Priscilla’s family tree, connecting her descendants today in Charleston to the people of Sierra Leone.
