- Note
- Read on the deed-book image: page 411 holds two bills of sale, and the compilation exchanged their parties. This one is Sterling Harris to John Newton, dated 20 December 1816 and acknowledged at the February 1817 court; the deed calls Hannah and Lezza a woman and child without saying how they were related.
