Bond, I think. This agreement mentions “slaves” as part of a bargain, but there is no information about names or numbers. As I read it, Thomas Bond has purchased or gotten rights to a plantation, its improvements and “slaves”, for $15,000. The land had belonged to Peter Rascoe, and by his Will, was “loaned to” his daughter Martha Roulhac “for her natural life”. The property is described as lying “between the river Cashie and the main road from Windsor to Rhodes’ or Hyman’s ferry. The Rascoe Will specifies that at Martha’s death, the property would pass to Martha’s children, who would be Roulhacs. In this document John G. Roulhac of Florida, John G. Roulhac, Jr., Joseph B. Roulhac and Joseph B.G. Roulhac of Bertie County, say that they want Thomas Bond to have a clear title to the land, once Martha has died, and will pay him for any improvements made before that time. Experts interested in the details of the agreement should read it, since I may have the arrangements wrong. I am certain, however, that there are no names or numbers or other details of the enslaved. Document was signed November 16, 1846 and registered May 18, 1847.
