A detailed account book of expenses and disbursements of the goods of Samuel Chew's estate as rendered but its executor, Benajmin Chew, Jr. between 1809-1811. It records cash found in Samuel's home (in pockets, letters, etc.) and received from others, such as for the purchase of wheat, unspecified debt, and even the sale of "Negro Jemima" in Philadelphia for $120 on page 1. Almost directly across from it on the following page is an expense of eight blankets as "the Black People in Cecil were in want of bed cloathing." Also sent to the slaves was $183.50 worth of bacon from the Chestertown house to the farms in Cecil as "the Black People were out of meat." Further on is an appraisal of $70 for enslaved woman Charlotte, and her son for $10, bequeathed to Samuel's servant Elizabeth Constable for 7 years in his will. The account addresses certain slaves at Rich Neck plantation, including "the negro man named Dick" who "being very sickly" has been given the privilege of working when he is able and being taken care of by the estate, appraised at $75. Below, a child named Harriet is appraised for $5. At Great Plantation, a woman named Phillis has also been given privilege of being taken care of by the estate, despite being elderly and infirm. She is appraised at $5, while two other negro women "in like manner" named Molly and Patty are also appraised at $5. Moving on to Frisby's Meadows, there is an appraisal of negro women named Phoebe and her mother Lemon, as well as a 6 month old child named James, son of Phoebe. On the following page, $1 is recorded being paid to "a faithful old negro man from Swan Point who came to attend the remains of his master."

Copy of a short list of expenses by Benajmin Chew, Jr. for Samuel Chew. There are multiple lines for the plantation Whitehall and one for Duck Cross Roads. There is an expense for a porter/overseer for blankets, as well as a negro woman with the mention of cloth. The line is not legible enough to discern whether the payment is for the woman or something regarding cloth, perhaps for the enslaved women. The last line mentions "Henriette", but it is difficult to read what the context is.
