How many slaves did Jefferson Davis own prior to the US Civil War?

To be theoretically correct there were 187 slaves owned by Thomas Jefferson. One of these lady slaves, Sally Hemmings, had a total of 7 kids, only 4 surviving for any significant period of time. Sally's "relationship" with Jefferson cannot be thought of as consensual and reciprocal as she was, in fact, Jefferson's property and any refusal of his advances could have been punished with death.
