[Jno. Bolling 531]

*The names below in "[]" (example: [Jno. Bolling 531]) are the owners of these African Americans; I assume that the numbers next to the African Americans are their price. I assume its their price because "Old Sam" (number 13) has the number "30" by his name; since he has the adjective "Old" next to his name, my assumption is that he couldn't be 30 years old, therefore I presume these numbers are the price of the slaves.
