On July 30, 1829, Joseph Austin, Liberty County, gifted to Abiel Winn, son of Peter F. Winn, Liberty County, “the following nine negro slaves, namely, Harry, Phillis [alt: Phyllis], Toney [alt: Tony], George, Bristol, Big Peggy, Tenah, Elizabeth and Frank.” The deed transferred these people to Bartholomew A. Busby, of Liberty County, in trust for Abiel Winn. Austin specified, however, that this deed would only take effect “after all the demands that I now have, or may in future have, against the said Peter F. Winn shall be fully satisfied and paid, and not previously to the payment of said debts, dues or demands.” He also specified that when the deed took effect, it would be subject “to an annual or yearly payment of two hundred and fifty dollars from the said Abiel Winn, his trustee, or lawful representative, to the said Peter F. Winn during the natural life of the said Peter F. Winn.” Witnessed by Jos. [Joseph] Jones, Reuben King. Recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on November 9, 1829.
