Michael Miller's will stipulated that the enslaved persons Harriet, Columbus, Ellen, Jimma, Payton, Charles, Vera, and Archy are to be valued by the court and evenly divided between George and Sallie Miller. Once valued, Payton would choose the master/mistress that he would like to be inherited to. In the appraisement of the estate of Michael Miller, a value of $600.00 was placed on Payton.
Nathaniel Burwell's will mentions for the profit of his sold enslaved people to be applied to his trustee estate. (The names of the enslaved people were not recorded.)
