Simply shown as Registered to Thomas Hill, but the 1820 Slave Register shows the sale by Thomas Hill sen. of the estate and enslaved people to Archibald Campbell and John Moore in December 1818.

Notes

Not identified in the slave registers. It's unclear what relation this amalgamated estate bears to Amity estate in Westmoreland which was owned by Archibald Campbell in the 1820s and whose executor was a Thomas Hill.
