Notes

It's not clear whether or not Samuel Kell King was able to keep the land after his enslaved people were surrendered to creditors in the mid 1820s. The enslaved people after that date may have been settled elsewhere.

Tentative association with the Friendship estate in St George which appears in the Account Produce.
