“Deed”, but reads like a Deed of Trust. The document says it is designed to provide “the amicable adjustment of certain family difficulties”. At issue is the ownership of three enslaved people: “…one Negro man named George and one Negro woman named Sara, they being the same negroes that were willed and bequeathed to the said Lucy Jones by her father Jacob Brummell also one negro girl named Emaline who was willed and bequeathed to the said Lucy Jones by her sister Elvina Brummell…”. The document was signed April 10, 1844, but not presented in the Davidson County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions until May 1851. Registered June 17, 1851.
