[Number of enslaved people] 49(Tot)  
[Name] [no name given]  
 

In the possession of Mrs Catherine Mackenzie as Owner and Joint Owner. Error with number of enslaved people? Should be 34? Increase of 5 enslaved people "removed from Clarendon". Decrease of 4 enlaved people "recovered by Course of Law by David Taylor and Jane Thomson of Saint Elizabeth." decrease of 3 "removed to Clarendon." 2 "absconded", 1 "by manumission," 5 enslaved people with no remarks in either column, but seems to be decrease since with the 7 deaths would bring the total decrease of enslaved people to 22 - yet incorrect new total.
