Michael Miller's will stipulated that the enslaved persons Harriet, Columbus, Ellen, Jimma, Payton, Charles, and Archy are to be valued by the court and evenly divided between George and Sallie Miller. Once valued, Columbus 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 $700.00 was placed on Columbus.
The Requisition Record shows that Collins was forced to labor in Richmond in response to the impressment order. Collins and Sam both labored for 60 days at a pay rate of $16.00 per month. Their enslaver, A.G. Read, received $64.00 for the work they completed.
In Common Law Book D was a Court of Oyer against Aaron and Billy Brown, two enslaved men charged with larceny. Collin, Betsey, Charles, and Tom were all asked to appear in court.
In parenthesis next to Collin's name in IAS book 2, the name Sam Branch is written. This connection is not explained, but based on Branch's name it is likely he was a family member of Ann N. Branch.
