Scroggs sells to Leland Martin “…a Slave named Caroline aged about 30 years old and her infant child aged about three months old, also her next to the youngest child named Elvira aged about two years…”. No further information about Elvira and her children, but the “next to the youngest” suggests there are other children who weren’t with her, or didn’t go to Leland Martin. No sale price mentioned.
