Betsey was listed in the register as being "bright mulatto," 5 feet 5 inches tall, and having a scar on her left wrist caused by a burn. She registered three times at ages 22, 26, and 37.
According to both records, Betsey was bequeathed to Fanny W. Farly alongside Lany, Davy, Robert, Mary, Charles, Martha Ann, and Dick. Upon Fanny's passing, these enslaved people were to be divided equally between the enslaver's children.
