In the possession of Samuel Francis as owner. There appears to be an error in this record. The total in 1820 is given as 55 enslaved people and so given the 5 births and 9 deaths the new total should be 51. Francis appears to have included those purchased from Stratton Hall in the totals but included them in a separate listing as a separate group as well.
