Additional Details

A list of the property and assets of Mr Jonathan Yongue, probably gotten up to prepare for auction, dispersal to the heirs or to satisfy debts. The list begins with the names and prices paid for 34 slaves, followed by cattle, wagons, and other equipment and finally household articles. A good primary source for genealogical study. Jonathan Yongue (1793-1843) was apparently a man of some means. He had a large family and was buried in the Yongue family cemetery.
