In the IAS Book 4, the appraisement of Samuel Forsythe names Jacob P. Hartman as his administrator. An entry states, "To amt. recd. Geo. Obenchain hire for George for 1863 ..." with a value of $909.87.
It is mentioned in the record that T.J. Bush had a "bond for hire" of a "negro man George" associated with Thomas C. Read. The value put on this bond was $160.00.
Frederick Thrasher's will stated the two men he enslaved, George and Garret, were to go to some of his children if any of his children are willing to take them. He also stated that should his "negroes" not be willing to go to his children who would want them, "they are to be sold at public sale".
A value of $500.00 was placed on George.
"To my son George Gish a boy named George… boy will be under the control of my wife should she remain a widow until my son arrives to age of twenty or marry, which ever may happen first."
Note that only one George is listed in the appraisal of Sam Phillips's estate, despite there being three in the will. If this is the same George from the appraisal, then a value of $1200.00 was placed on him.
A value of $1,100.00 was placed on George. It is unclear who George was devised to, but it is possible that he was also devised to E.B. McClanahan since the rest of his family were devised to McClanahan.
George, Zache, Mett, and Moses were bequeathed to Thomas Fowler's grandsons Lewis Taylor, Shelton Taylor, James Taylor, and Thomas Taylor to be divided equally between them all.
