MS (PPRF); written entirely in TJ’s hand on both sides of a single sheet, creased down the middle; undated.

This document may have been prepared for the use of incoming overseer Jeremiah A. Goodman. It was certainly compiled after the birth of Boston on 1 Dec. 1811 and probably before the birth of Edy’s daughter Nancy on 15 Feb. 1812 (Betts, Farm Book description begins Edwin M. Betts, ed., Thomas Jefferson’s Farm Book, 1953 (in two separately paginated sections; unless otherwise specified, references are to the second section) description ends , pt. 1, 131). TJ sorted his Poplar Forest slaves on the basis of their residence at his Bear Creek and Tomahawk plantations and then listed them twice, grouped by age and by family. The number given before or after the name of each slave represents the year in which he or she was born, and the number at the bottom of each column represents the total number of slaves in that column.

1.  TJ canceled “88. Cate. Betty’s” on the line above this entry and “Cate. Suck’s” on the line below it.

2. Preceding two words written over “Milly. Nanny’s,” erased.

3. One side of sheet ends here.
