Notes

A group of enslaved people owned by Isaac Allen junior from at least 1817, very likely worked upon Isaac Allen senior's estate of Breadnut Valley (this would make the total numbers for Breadnut Valley consistent between the slave registers and the almanacs). Inherited by Isaac Allen junior's siblings Jordan and Cecilia by 1829. The slave compensation was awarded to Jordan Allen as owner in 1834.
