The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:

|
1832 [EA] - 1834 [LA] → Owner
It is possible that the person returning in 1832 was Benjamin Ifill the younger rather than Ifill senior. |
|
1817 [EA] - 1826 [LA] → Owner
|
|
1817 [EA] - → Owner
It is not clear whether it is the father or son who was the owner and returned for the Slave Registers. |

Father → Son
