The obvious answer is yes. But he proved to be a kinderslave owner than the others in terms of treatment. He even offered to free his most trusted slave and overseer of the Davis plantation, James Pemberton, before going to fight in the Mexican War. But James refused, saying that he would rather stay at the place that was his home.
This is proven in The Pursuit of a Dream.

I am doing a project on Jefferson Davis in social studies and my teacher was talking about this question. Jefferson Davis felt that John Brown's activities were wrong and his behavior was wrong. John Brown was basically killing slaves and Jefferson Davis did not like this. Jefferson Davis was a loyal man and respected his slaves. He was a kind slaveowner from the south. When John Brown was killing the slaves in "Bleeding Kansas", Jefferson Davis did not like it because they were killing innocent slaves who Jefferson Davis respected and considered slaves as people
