1823
[Number of enslaved people] 20(Tot) 9(F) 11(M)  
[Name] Mt Granby Estate  
 

Belonging to or in the lawful possession of Richard Boyce as Proprietor. It is not clear why Richard Boyce recorded ownership of this group on enslaved people on Mt Granby; it is clearly the same group as those registered by James Embree Glean as owner in 1821 and 1825 (including Sukey, born c. 1788, whose right leg had been amputated below the knee and who was registered by James Embree Glean in 1821 and whose death was recorded by Richard Boyce in 1823, and also including James, whose birth was recorded by Boyce in 1823 and who appeared age 3 in the same group in 1825). The discrepancy may have been a mistranscription of the original registers or a planned sale that fell through.
