Based on the Commissioner Report of Slaves and Division of Property of David Gish, Jacob P. Brugh had taken 6 enslaved people from David Gish.

James Edward, an enslaved man, had a value of $750.00. Nancy, an enslaved woman had a value of $750.00. William Junius, an enslaved man had a combined value $450.00.

In the Sales Bill of Murray, an enslaved boy named Henry was purchased by Mrs. C. Murray for $500.00. A enslaved man named Stephen was purchased by "his wife," M. Shooly, for $50.00. It is unclear, but the phrasing implies M. Shooly was Stephen's wife. It is possible she was a free woman buying her husbands freedom. A enslaved boy named Phill was purchased by J. W. Hurt for $800.00.
Jacob was listed in the register as having a "dark complexion" and scars on his left eye and right wrist. He was 5 feet 8.75 inches tall. In Common Law Book E, his appearance was described in the same manner.
