In the IAS Book 4, the appraisement of H. H. Chapman's property states that E. J. Chapman is listed as his administrator. One entry in the appraisement states, "To Amt. E. J. Chapman's note for hire of Ned, James, Lewis, + Maria 1862" with a value of $500.00.
In the sale bill dated December 9, 1848 it was said that James should remain "in possession" of Frances Deatin's husband John. Mariah and the other enslaved people valued alongside her were "to be hired out for a term of years until their hire shall pay of debt due to the estate of John Foster decd. amounting to five hundred dollars more or less."
In the will of Jacob Fowler, it is stated that Jacob S. Fowler be given one sixth of the personal estate "including the remainder of my home plantation." There is no other mention of how the personal property was divided among those named in the will.
In the appraisement of Samuel Forsythe's property, Jacob P. Hartman is listed as his administrator. Hartman and Jacob P. Hartman could be the same individual but the record does not specify.
