Except for the first three individuals in the list, all 52 years of age, the maker of this list carefully lists all males first, followed by all females. Each grouping is listed in descending order from oldest to youngest. Many of the lists of enslaved people in the slave schedules are not this systematically organized, instead often reflecting organization by family or living clusters. Listing the individuals in the systematic method used here, divides them even more from their humanity.
