Called a Bill of Sale, but a conditional gift. Samuel Phipps gives to “Mama Phillips (Phipps)" wife of John Phips deceased one negro boy named Dash…”. Mama Phipps already has Dash in her possession and can retain him for her natural life. After her death Dash becomes property of Mama Phipps’ children. No further information about Dash or his relationships. The clerk spelled the names “Phips”, but Phipps is likely correct. Also, the title of the document says the recipient is “Gumma." The document was signed November 21, 1845, presented in Court August 1846 and registered August 24, 1846.
