Slaves were bought and traded at will in the days of slavery in the south. There is no way to know where exactly slaves in any region came from, it would simply depend on the year in question, which counties, which plantations; and then look at records (if any) to try to trace those slaves back to the ship they came on, which is most likely impossible.

However it should be noted that all slaves that came to the Caribbean and then to the United States were predominantly from Western Africa where the proper conditions like the help of local African governments made slave trading lucrative and profitable.
