Research Notes

USBH Naming Conventions for Slaves: LNAB based on the first slave owner. Current last name based on most recent slave owner. In Other Last Names list all other slave owners.

Anthony was described as a man on the transfer image. The price he was sold for normally implied that he was middle to older age. Because of this I'm estimating that he's around forty years old at the sale from Williams to Brooks. Dates of death are for after the last transfer dates. These can be modified as more records are found.
