Editor’s Note–This estate sale continues over four more pages, with many other household and farm related items. Some notable items omitted here include a horse $36, a mare sold for $27, and “37 Head of Hoggs” sold for $43. Many of the buyers are men who also signed documents concerning Jude’s trial and execution for which Henry Mounger served as Justice of the Peace (see Trials of the Enslaved). No other humans are sold, and the total sale is $755.18.
