Hamilton Brown's slave accounting.

One can be sure that it is a "definitive" list since it was a source of taxation for the local government. Errors and omissions are unlikely as can be seen by the "*?" of one of the last entries - no source of taxation, even a quadroon offspring of indeterminate name, would go un-mentioned/listed.

(A "quadroon" is by definition 1/4 Negro.)

Owner's reprise (looking at me) of William Penn quote: Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

In this case these were "property" - and dealt with as such in English Law.
