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.
See Slave of Levi White for full inventory.
