1p, approx. 8 x 10 in. (multiple pieces, possibly portions of separate documents combined).

Bill of sale of "a negroe woman named China aged twenty six years or thereabouts and also a negroe boy named Crawford about ten [?] years old" to Parker Rand  (1793-1876) of Wake County, North Carolina, from George W. Haywood (1802-1890) of Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina.

Verso with seemingly three different dockets: one indicating an 1823 date of registration in Wake County, the other two identifying George W. Haywood as party to the bill of sale. Though potentially originating from separate bills of sale, each portion relates to Haywood and Rand. While Haywood had a modest estate, Rand was the son of a wealthy planter and was a lawyer. Rand amassed substantive land holdings in North Carolina and Mississippi which were worked by enslaved men, women, and children.
