Mortgage. Whitmel J. Hill is selling three tracts of land and 56 enslaved people to Atherton B. Hill and James G. Anthony. The two Hills and Anthony are from Halifax County, NC, but the land, and I’m assuming, the enslaved people, are in Bertie County. The land parcels include tracts of 160 and 66 acres that Whitmel Hill had purchased himself, and 1183 acres he had inherited from his father. The enslaved are named, but with no further information about their ages, relationships, or where they actually are. Selling price for the 1409 acres is $28,200, and for the 56 enslaved, $57,000. The contract specifies a mortgage, with eight yearly payments, but doesn’t specify if this is for the whole amount or a part. Note that one Hill is selling to another Hill, but relationship between the men is not stated. From another source, “A.B. Hill and Antony” are listed as one of the larger slaveholders in the County, with 56 slaves at the 1860 US Census. Document was agreed and signed Jan. 1, 1860, certified in court Feb. 25, 1860, and registered March 28, 1860.
