There is one man, Phil, who is listed in the distribution, sold to Susannah White for $126, who is not listed on the inventory. Was this actually Mack? He is otherwise unaccounted for. There was a boy named Bishop also sold to Susannah for $20 who does not have an exact match

I believe Milly, Mary, Dinah, Caroline, June, Cesar, Benn, and Cudd were likely the 8 unnamed children sold with Ginny and Eliza.

son, James died and had his estate inventory in February 1836. Buck and Flora are both mentioned. ^[5] James left all his property to his mother.
