1859 Listing of 352 Slaves Are Hired In Georgia

December 13-14, 1859, Manuscript Document, Being an Accounting of the Sale of a Large Estate in Upson County, Georgia, Including the Hiring Out of 31 Named Slaves, Extremely Fine.
This marvelous, original, handwritten, estate sale listing, fills 12 pages (352 entries), on 12" x 8" blue, lined paper, recording the estate of Thomas W. Riviere, deceased. The last 2 pages of this document contain a listing of rented lands and 31 named slaves, who were rented out along with their families. This document is sharp and clean, with almost no toning except on the outside (back) page, which is blank aside from some court docketing. A fantastic document, possibly of great value in genealogical research. (6 sheets)
