Reading notes: The names follow the county’s records of enslaved people; the published abstract reads Phill.
Names, places and measures are given as the published abstract writes them. This record has not been checked against the deed image.
Published abstract by Mark Chilton, Orange County Register of Deeds: Orange County Deed Book 10 (look for ODB 10/373). Our record above is drawn from it.
Notes for researchers
- On this page, Chilton’s abstracts may give a deed the parties of its neighbor: UNC Greensboro’s catalog of slave deeds disagrees with them here, and on pages checked against the deed images the catalog was right. Check the deed image before relying on the parties.
