Bill of Sale. John Reynolds, Sr. sells to W.C. Reynolds “a certain negro boy named Alfred Berton one year old” for $100. No further information about Alfred Berton or his relationships. I’m assuming “Berton” is a middle name, not a surname. The document says that the sale was “the 21st day of March last (1848), and the document was signed May 15, 1848, presented in Court February 1854 and registered March 27, 1854.
