Title

Estate of Samuel Chew-- List of notes and securities taken by the sales under the order of the Orphans Court

Description

List of notes and securities taken by the sales made by Benjamin Chew under the order of the Orphans Court of Kent County and "of the effects of Negroes and stock of the deceased." There are two lines for Richard Frisby on page 4 with a note next to it, reading "secured also by assignm'[ent] of negroes." The last line of the list also specifies the purchase of a "another negro woman @ $300 for which no note was taken." Under this line is an additional note written in pencil, "No this a mistake"- referring to the small memorandum later inserted by Benjamin Chew. It indicates that the purchaser, Kensey Johns, also purchased another woman for $100. The memorandum advises that this full list was made by Richard Barroll, and sent to him two months later, resulting in inaccuracies.
