This May 7, 2015 photo shows an archival document made available by the Chatham County Probate Court, Ga., showing the appraised dollar value of slaves owner by Ann S. Norton, the mother-in-law of Benjamin L. Cole. Cole is the great-great-great-grandfather of actor Ben Affleck. After Norton died in 1858, Cole was tasked with holding her slaves in trust for his three sons until they reached adulthood. Cole served as local sheriff during the Civil War and public records show he and his wife owned at least one slave of their own. Evidence that Cole owned slaves drove Affleck to ask PBS and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates to remove his relative from a TV program exploring Affleck's family tree. (AP Photo/Russ Bynum)

This photo taken May 1, 2015, shows the burial site of Benjamin Cole, the great-great-great grandfather of actor Ben Affleck, in Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah, Ga. The site only has a marker for a one-year-old relative, but city records show that at least 10 other relatives are buried in the site. Cole, who died in 1871, served as the local sheriff during the Civil War. Public records show Cole and his wife owned at least one slave and Cole held at least two dozen slaves temporarily as a legal trustee for other family members. Evidence that Cole owned slaves drove Affleck to ask PBS and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates to remove his relative from a TV program exploring Affleck's family tree.(AP Photo/Russ Bynum)
