Used as Collateral (Stewart/Bulloch)

On January 1, 1838, Daniel M. Stewart, Chatham County, used as collateral on a promissory note of $13,339.28 to James S. Bulloch, Liberty County, a 965-acre tract of land that included Cedar Hill and Clifton plantations, adjoining the town of Riceboro, and also an adjoining 6-acre tract “known as the Negro House settlement” and also “the following negro slaves with their future issue & increase viz. Tom, Joe, Dick, James, Noble, George, Edmund, William, Frank, Old March, little March, Ned, Stephen, Tom Anderson Prince Peter Joe William Mongin William, Cain, Aaron, Jim, Samuel, Peter, little Stephen, Doublin [alt: Dublin], Hary [alt: Harry], Billy, Ned, (Carpenter) Billy, Sam, Burke, Titus, old Sue, Tabby, Affy, Beck, Bina, Maryann [alt: Mary Ann], Rosetta, Big Nan, Rachel, Mary, Phoebe, Rosannah, Charlotte, Hannah, Nanny, Sylla, Maria [alt: Mariah], Sue, Peggy, Delia, Amey [alt: Amy], Sarah, Grace, Sally, Betty, Cretia, Phillis, Fanny, Harriet, old Hagar, Hester, Jenny, Lucy, Dianna, Susan, & Daphny [alt: Daphne].” Witnessed by Levi S. D’Lyon, A. Porter, J.I.C.C.C. Recorded July 2, 1838, by E. Way, Clerk.

[NOTE: Due to the missing punctuation in the list of enslaved people, it is not known how many people are represented by “Tom Anderson Prince Peter Joe William Mongin William,”. That may be eight people, or the “surnames” Anderson and Mongin (which are surnames of Liberty County white planters) may be being used to distinguish Tom and William from others by the same name. Also, The word “(carpenter)” appears after the comma separating it from the names “Ned” and “Billy,” so it appears to apply to Billy, but these descriptions usually appear after names, so it is possible that the comma is a mistake and that it really applies to Ned.]
