Appraisement of the estate of Alfred T. Wilson, to my son George G., My
wife Sophronia Ferrel...Recorded August 20, 1855 [these slaves like the
others listed are appraised in the estate -- I don't know who bought
them etc., -- I need to get the wills to figure that out.] First slave

25 years, Isham negro man 25 years, negro man Pete 24 years, negro woman
Caroline aged 26 years, negro woman Cleary aged 15 years, negro woman

-notes he purchased land from James Kelly..

Estate of James Ormrod -- was married to Eliza Ann Hickman
inventory recorded Sept. 30, 1850
Negro man Jake aged about 32 years.

Jesse B. Smiley [hope this is correct] died March 19th, 1862 -- I think
its Smiley cause there is a Stannard Webb as a witness.. and I know WEBB
and SMILEY families have ties,

Catharine, Eliza, Belle.

As it turns out my final settlement and inventory records microfilm has
a whole lot more listings than I first thought... but the film is harder
than hell to read. I will try to post sketches of what I find in case
there is something to help others.

Thanks
