John Lambert, a South Carolina planter, purchased a plantation in Liberty County in 1784. His death in 1786 produced a very unusual will, in which he asked his estate, including the land and enslaved people, to be held together forever and the annual profits used for charitable purposes. This was done until 1840, when an Act of the Georgia Legislature permitted the estate’s trustees to sell off the estate and invest the proceeds. From 1840-1865, the trustees used the estate funds to make more than 90 loans to local planters, mostly secured by using enslaved people as collateral. The estate fund still exists today, in 2025.
The following are the documents found regarding the estate’s activities from 1786 to 1865. Each document has a citation in the end notes, and each citation has a link to a copy of the original document on FamilySearch.org. (FamilySearch.org is a free website. To use it you need only create an account.) Please do check the original as handwriting is often hard to read and there may be mistakes in these abstracts.
These documents are provided here in the hope that descendants of the people held in slavery by the Lambert estate or used as collateral on loans from the estate may find their ancestors here.
In November, 1784, William Baker of Liberty County sold to John Lambert, a planter of South Carolina, for 200 pounds sterling a plantation of 100 acres, in North Newport on the Ash Swamp, bounded on the north by lands of William Baker and the public landing road to the South by lands of David Duncan to the west by Estate David Anderson and to the east by John Andrew. William Baker inherited the land from his father. William Baker and Benjamin Andrew, executor of Richard Baker’s estate, gave their consent. Dated November 22, 1784. Witnessed by Thomas Graves, John Andrew, William Girardeau. Probated November 23, 1784, by William Girardeau. Recorded March 25, 1794.[1]
Sometime before Lambert’s death in 1786, he also apparently had purchased a 100-acre tract in Liberty County, also located in Ash Swamp, from Hugh Bennet but the title to the land was not legally established until 1802, following a 1799 Act of the Georgia Legislature allowing executors and administrators to make titles to land in certain cases. The land was said to be bounded north by lands originally granted to Richard Baker, southeast by lands unknown, north by lands previously belonging to Richard Baker. This was recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on May 6, 1802.[2]
John Lambert died in 1786. His 1785 will stipulated “My will and desire is that my estate be kept together, and the yearly income be applied to any religious, or good purpose at the discretion of my executors and trustees, either for the support of the gospel in back parts of the state, for the relief of the poor and distressed, or wherever any good pious and good purpose may be answered in the church of Midway, or any other that might be erected, for the carrying on and assisting the intended academy in Sunbury, or promoting of any public schools or Seminary of learning; the bringing up of orphans, and the like. And my estate being in debt, I leave it to the discretion of my executors to sell any part thereof, real or personal, for the clearing of the same, if it cannot be conveniently wrought out.”[3]
It also stated: “My will and desire is that the fellow, Toney, be continued driver while he behaves well; may be allowed the privilege of raising a few hogs among the rest, or be found some meat, and something distinguishable in clothes, or a few guineas per annum, according to the merit. And the rest of my slaves be treated with as much lenity as may be consistent with reasonable service and comfortable living. My will is that as soon as may be, a small stock of cattle be bought and also that if it can be admitted, they may have meat and rice and rum two or three times a year; and besides, good clothing in the winter; that they also have summer clothes or oznaburg or the like. And I recommend that the minister for the time being, may visit them occasionally and give them some spiritual advice.”
On July 19, 1790, the John Lambert estate was inventoried and appraised, as follows[4]:

On January 13, 1791, the executors of John Lambert’s estate appear to have sold the land purchased in 1784 to Thomas Stevens for 300 pounds sterling. The executors at that time were Abiel Holmes, John Elliott, William Quarterman and Thomas Sumner. The land was identified as a 200-acre tract of land in Liberty County, bounded north by a private road and estate of William Baker, formerly land of Richard Baker, west by Estate David Anderson, east by the estate of Benjamin Andrew formerly belonging to James Andrew, and south by lands formerly of Charles West, now of Alexander. This sale was recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on the same day–March 25, 1794–that the 1784 sale was recorded, likely because the earlier sale was not recorded during the turmoil of the Revolutionary War.[5]
On the same day, Thomas Stevens, William Spencer and Samuel Spencer, planters of Liberty County, sold to the executors of John Lambert’s estate (Abiel Holms, John Elliott, William Quarterman, and Thomas Sumner) for $535 a 214-acre Liberty County tract that was part of a 500-acre tract originally granted to Richard Spencer. It was bounded northeast by estate Thomas Baker, southeast by John Way and Ann Girardeau, southwest by Peacocks Road, and northwest by the public road. A 4-acre property called Middleton Hill that adjoined this tract on the northwest corner was not to be considered part of the sale. Thomas Steven’s wife Sarah and Samuel Spencer’s wife Ann agreed to the sale. Recorded on November 26, 1801.[6]
On May 22, 1795, Richard Girardeau and his wife Ann, Liberty County, sold to the executors of John Lambert (William Baker Senior, Peter Winn, James McCullough, Joseph Quarterman and Thomas Stevens) for 27 pounds sterling a 13.5-acre tract of land in Liberty County, bounded west and north by estate of John Lambert, east by John Way and Richard and Ann Girardeau, and south by Peacocks Road. Ann Girardeau relinquished her dower rights. Recorded on November 9, 1801.[7]
On November 3, 1801, Henry and Rebecca Wood, Liberty County, sold to the executors of John Lambert (Peter Winn, Joseph Quarterman, James McCullough, John Stacy and John Osgood Sr, for $577.5 a 115-acre tract of land in Liberty County, bounded west on the public road from Midway Meeting House by Colonel Daniel Stewart’s, north on Estate of Lambert, east on the Public road leading to North Newport Bridge, east on lands of late Henry Wood now John Osgood Sr, and south on Colonel Daniel Stewart’s landing road. Rebecca Wood relinquished her dower rights on the same day. Recorded on November 12, 1801. [8]
On May 3, 1802, William Fleming, executor of the estate of Hugh Bennet, sold to the executors of the John Lambert estate (Peter Winn, John Osgood, James McCollough and John Stacy) for $932 a 100-acre tract bounded north by lands originally granted to Richard Baker, southeast by lands unknown, north by lands previously belonging to Richard Baker. The land located in a swamp called Ash Swamp. It was formerly purchased by John Lambert from Hugh Bennet. Lambert took a bond from Bennet’s agent to make the titles to it but it had not yet been executed. There was a February 15, 1799, Act of the Legislature to empower executors and administrators to make the titles to lands in certain cases, and so William Fleming was doing that. Recorded on May 6, 1802.[9]
During the period when the estate was held together, there was presumably concern within the community about this community of enslaved people who did not have close white supervision, though there was likely a white overseer and the executors likely kept a close eye. One method to try to ensure good behavior was religion. The Midway Congregational Church accepted Black members, and its records indicate the following members from the Lambert estate (year noted in the records indicated in parentheses): Abby (1839), Cloe (1839), Hannah (1839), Mary (1823), Miley (1826), Rose (1821-1824), Hagar (1835), Joe (1823-1825), Ned (1837), Prince (1832), Old Summer (1823), Young Summer (1828-1830), Leah (1835), Prissy or Pussy (1833), Tenah (1831), Fortune (1825-1830), Hercules (1833), Nanny (1825-29), Harry (1820-1822), Isaac (1832), John (1832), Lucy (1831), Sam (1823-1825), Scipio (1824), Tony (1829-1830), Venus (1814), Will (1820-1830), Ceaser (1813), Judy (1839). It is worth noting that members normally only were mentioned in the records when admitted to the church or when being disciplined. According to these records, 33 per cent of the estate’s enslaved people attended the Midway Congregational Church, a rather large percentage given that only adults were admitted to church membership and some percentage of the people must have been children.
In the mid 1830s, a list of “hands” from the John Lambert estate was provided because they (among others) had been absent on a day they were supposed to be working on Liberty County roads[10]. Each slaveowner was supposed to provide enslaved people to work on the roads for a certain amount of time annually. This list said that all but Driver Joe and Bristol had been absent and thus they were all to be “flogged” “on the first day of meeting next year.” The list:

In 1836, a claimant to the John Lambert estate came forward. John Lambert, a resident of Gadsden County, Florida, claimed that his father, Jeremiah Lambert, was the elder John Lambert’s brother. William Collett testified that he had known the younger John Lambert since his birth and that he had heard Jeremiah and John Lambert, of Barnard District, South Carolina, claim each other as brothers. Collett claimed that Jeremiah Lambert had been a travelling waggoner and was then a resident of South Carolina, although he (Collett) had known him in Burke County, Georgia. Elizabeth Grigry [alt: Gregory] of Florida corroborated this testimony, and said their mother had died at John Lambert’s birth, and one of the neighbors had carried him home in a basket to raise.
The younger John Lambert sued the estate, arguing that Lambert’s instructions in his will to keep his estate together forever and to give the profits to charitable causes amounted to the illegal creation of a perpetuity and amounted to manumission of Lambert’s enslaved people. Thus, he said, Lambert had died intestate, because his will was not legal, and he should inherit.[11]
Although the court’s decision was not found in this search, the claim must have been denied, because in late 1838, the Georgia General Assembly allowed the John Lambert estate executors to sell the entire estate and invest the proceeds in stocks or whatever they felt best.
Based on this authorization, the executors – Thomas Mallard, John Dunwody, William Q. Baker, Ezra Stacy and William Jones – began to sell off the enslaved people. In February 1840, the following sales were made. It is possible that some of these are in family groups.
–Isaac and Judy to William Spencer for $950.[12]
— Kate, Cato, Ceaser, Moses and Henry to Anthony Porter for $2125. [13]
–Fortune to Thomas W. Fleming for $650[14]
— Cudjo, Harriet, Ella, Tom, little Cinder, Ciely [Celie, or possibly Caty], Mag, Amy, Lucy, Die to Robert Quarterman[15]
–Nanny, Sharper and Hercules to William B. Fleming for $1000[16]
–Leah, Prime, and Jacob to Thomas W. Fleming for $1136[17]
— Miley, Clarrinda [alt: Clarinda], Peggy, Stephen, Mary to William S. Baker for $1900. Baker later clarified that he had purchased these people for the minor children of the late Thomas Baker and that he had transferred the enslaved people to them as of April 1848. [18]
–Abby, Maryann to I.S.K. Axson[19]
–Old Mary, Hannah, Mingo, and Cloe to Thomas W. Fleming for $2050 (3 days later, Thomas W. Fleming sold them to William Q. Baker, one of the executors, for the same price).[20]
–Will, London to Thomas E. Baker[21]
–Jemmy to Mrs. Sarah R. Bennett for $600[22]
–Hagar, Joe, Prince, Ned, Harriet, Alfred, Eliza, Dick, Old Summer, Young Summer to William S. Baker for $5200[23]
— Venus, Tony, Will, Sam, Sampson, Bristol, Tony, Scipio, John, Nanny, Jacky, Eve, Samuel, Henry, Andrew, Ellic, Hary [alt: Harry], Nancy, Isaac, Georgianna, Ellen, Lucy, Charlotte, Nancy, Sarah and Clarissa to B.B. King for $6789[24]
–Lucy, William, Isaac, Letty, Peggy, Hagar to Raymond Cay[25]
–Little Tenah, Jemmy, Renchie and Jack to Samuel Spencer for $1175[26]
–Anthony, Jenny to Sarah Bennett[27]
–Prissy, Tom, James, P, Tenah, Little Sam, Windsor, Jack, Primus, Leah and Rachel (NOTE: “P” may stand for Pompey) to G.W. Dunham[28] (Sale concluded on February 3d)
After being sold to new owners, many of these people continued to attend the Midway Congregational Church and were noted in the records.
AFTER THE SALES
Without the annual income from enslaved labor, the executors entered into a new phase with the sales’ profits. They began to make loans to local planters, who used mostly enslaved people as collateral.
On January 11, 1841, Sarah R. Bennet and Samuel Spencer used as collateral on a promissory note to the executors of John Lambert (Thomas Mallard, John Dunwody, William Q. Baker, Ezra Stacy and William Jones) “the following named slaves to wit Jimmy and Binah.”[29]
On April 3, 1841, Samuel Spencer used as collateral on a promissory note to the executors of the John Lambert estate (Thomas Mallard, John Dunwody, William Q. Baker, William Jones, Ezra Stacy) an 800-acre tract formerly known as the Lambert plantation, bounded north by Rot Quarterman, Est. of Moses W. Way, and James W. Winn, on the east by Thomas G. Way, James W. Winn and Est. of Thomas Baker, on the south by Adam T. Alexander, Dr. Samuel Way and Samuel Spencer, west by est. John Bacon and Est. Moses W. Way, along with a 100-acre tract bounded north by the estate of Thomas Baker and the former Lambert plantation, east by the Barrington Road, south by Dr. Samuel Way, and also a 100-acre tract of pine land in the Shave Settlement, bounded east by William L. Patrick and by vacant land on all other sides.[30]
On June 14, 1841, Samuel Spencer used as collateral on a promissory note to the executors of the John Lambert estate (Thomas Mallard, John Dunwody, William Q. Baker, William Jones, Ezra Stacy) the land on which Spencer lived in the vicinity of Walthourville containing 300 acres, bordered east and south by William N. Way, north by E.H. Bacon, west by vacant land, plus a 400-acre of unimproved land in the vicinity of Walthourville, bounded east by Thomas Mallard and others and by vacant land on all other sides at the time of survey.[31]
On July 5, 1841, John W. Stacy and Wm. E. W. Quarterman used as collateral on a promissory note to John Lambert’s estate executors (Thomas Mallard, John Dunwody, Wm. Q. Baker, Ezra Stacy and Wm. Jones) “the following named Slaves with the issue of the females viz. Moses and Tenah.”[32]

On February 1, 1842, Thos. [Thomas] Q. Cassels and Wm. [William] S. Baker used as collateral on a promissory note to the executors of John Lambert’s estate (Thos. Mallard, John Dunwody, Wm. Q. Baker, Ezra Stacy & Wm. Jones) “the following named slaves with the issue of the female to wit, Sam & Billy…”[33]
In 1842, Thomas Q. Cassels and W.S. Baker used Sam and Billy as collateral on a promissory note to Thomas Mallard, W.Q. Baker, John Dunwoody, Ezra Stacy and William Jones, the then-executors of the John Lambert estate. In this case Cassels and Baker did repay the loan. They had paid off this loan by 1851.[34]
By 1842, Pompey, Prissy, Tom, James, Tenah, Sam, Jack, Leah, Prince, Rachel, and Rachel’s child (name not given) had been seized by the Liberty County sheriff from George W. Dunham after he defaulted on an arrangement with the Estate. They were sold at auction to Ann C. Hart, the highest bidder.
In April 1842, George W. Dunham had leased to Ann C. Hart for four years “the following negro slaves to wit Pompey, Tom, Prince, Leah, Pussy, Tenah, Rachel, James and Jack,” as well as a plantation known as Cracktick, bounded west by lands of Dr. Wm. [William] P. McConnell, north by land of A. Winn, and south and east by Salter’s Creek, together with all the barns, stables, gin houses and buildings on it. Ann C. Hart was to pay the yearly rent to George W. Dunham, and was also to pay to the executors of John Lambert’s estate annually $390.26 as the interest on a bond for $9750 dated February 3, 1840, which was said to have been signed by Ann C.
