Where did Lord John Rolle's slave come from?

It appears many of the slaves were brought to America on or about the late 1700s. Denys Rolle returned to Europe and on or about 1779 he returned to America with 150 slaves. Most slaves were brought in from West Afrika. Perhaps Angola. Many came through the ports of Georgia, North and SoutnCarolinas. He had a total of approximately 200 slaves at one point in Palatka Florida at his Rollesville Charlotta Plantation. When the Spanish took over Florida from th British, Denys oed with approximately 150 slaves to the BAhamas. This information I give is gleaned from reading many articles onmy family history. I too am a Rolle Descendent of Richard and Patience rolle of Georgetown, Exuma, Bahamas.

Also more slaves were obtained by the currently owned slaves having children. The children were now your slaves too.
