On February 26, 1830, in Savannah, William King, “survivor of the late firm of Maxwell & King,” transferred “the within named negroes” of a mortgage to Joseph Jones. The mortgage was recorded in Book I, pages 312-313 on July 23, 1828, from Peter Wm. [William] Law to Maxwell & King. Joseph Jones attached a note declaring that he had no claim on “the negro named Henry, as stated in the within mortgage.” Recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on March 4, 1830. [NOTE: The original mortgage had the names as “Nelly, Rachel, Ellena [or Ellina], Henry, Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth, Sam, Daniel, Simon, John, Adam.”]
Also on February 26, 1830, in Savannah, Peter W. Law sold to Joseph Jones for $2100 “the following eleven negroes, named, to wit, Rachel, Daniel, Simeon, John, Washington, Mary, Eleanor, Hannah, Elizabeth, Sam & Anthony.” Witnessed by Ralph King. Recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on March 4, 1830.
[NOTE: It was not clear if these were two separate transactions (since the names in the bill of sale were not the same as in the original mortgage) or if perhaps other people had been substituted in the mortgage in the meantime.]
