In the IAS Book 4, Charles Lunsford is the executer for the appraisement of Thomas Lunsford. Charles was most likely Thomas Lunsford's son but this record does not list their relationship. There are multiple entries involving the hiring out of enslaved individuals that included Charles hiring out Everett in 1861 and 1862 three times for a value of $100.00, $6.00, and $100.00
Andy, Margaret, and Charlotte were enslaved under the estate of which Josephine and M.G. Barnett inherited, and that David Shanks managed as guardian. Plans were made to hire out Charlotte to J.M. Thomas, Margaret to A.M. Lanz, Andy to William L. Walton. However, by order of the Roanoke County Court, these three enslaved people were to be given to Ann R. Earnest (formerly Ann Barnett), as part of her dowry following the death of Charles L. Barnett.
