Slave Description: "Female negroe Slave"
Slave Notes: Transcriptionist Jan Slater notes that the
Registry does say "female" for this slave,
despite the traditionally male name. The
order of listing, last after the other
females, tends to reinforce this. However
the 1800 Septennial Census for "Wallis,
Frances" of "Summerset Township" lists a male
Negro slave named George, age 19." That is the only slave listed under that slaveholder's name in that tax enumeration.

what is probably post-slavery data on this person: "I just stumbled
