Description

William M. Paxton reports on the sale of slaves by Eliza Brown. "Owing to the uncertainty of this property she (Eliza Brown) was compelled to accept for the slaves less than the sums for which they were appraised. She sold the Negroes, one woman and three children, about the 15th day of November 1863 to Mr. Jefferson Park for $350.00 cash, this being the best price she could obtain for them." "A Negro boy Harvey is yet unsound, appraised at $300.00"
