Background

This page is to list the enslaved owned by Mary Elizabeth Seabrook, daughter of Ephraim Mikell Seabrook, to help the descendants of the enslaved to find their families and connect to their ancestors. It is unknown which plantations they lived on.

In 1846 Mary's father died. In 1850 there was a court record about Ephraim Mikell Seabrook Sr's estate. This record showed that the enslaved were put in "lots" and the family selected by draw which lot each would receive. Mary chose Lot 6 in the drawing.^[1]
