"The Great Slave Auction (also called The Weeping Time) was a March 2 and 3, 1859 auction of enslaved African-Americans held at Ten Broeck Race Course, near Savannah, Georgia. Slave Owner and absentee plantation owner Pierce Mease Butler authorized the sale of approximately 436 men, women, children, and infants to be sold over the course of two days. The sale's proceeds went to satisfy Butler's significant debts, much of it from gambling. The auction is regarded as the largest single sale of enslaved people in U.S. history.[1]

This is a only a portion of the enslaved people who were owned by Butler and his family. For additional lists of those enslaved, please see Pierce Mease Butler, List of Slaves.

This list and the identifying information were compiled by Annette Holmes [2] Please see the link for additional notes that include possible relationships between those listed and identification in additional documents.
