These are the slave records from my research on North Carolina families.
I've generally cleaned these records out to only include names (whether they receive named slaves in will or not.
There are tax lists and other records indicating numbers of slaves only - they still represent people and can help determine ages of known slaves.
I've left in auxiliary references that might include slave names, even though I didn't take them down in my notes.
These family names, e.g. Daniel, are not all the same branch, I've noted where certain ones went to, etc.
The records are not in date order.

I haven't cleaned up source name abbreviations, etc., but I think they are obvious. Some sources start with the LDS film number.
My comments about the records are in [brackets]

George $750 to S. Fike
Mary $395 to Z. A. Bennett
Tom $600 to James Table?

Recd for Old Peter $4.00 [not 400]
Recd for More [not really Mose] $12.00
Recd for John Clack $40. [this may be a buyer of other property, but in this return he follows the format of the slaves sold above.]
return by Moses H. Daniel.

---another 1851 - acct of hire and also sale of:

Willis & Alfred (together, $1050)
return by James Hale, includes charge by Hale for board of negroes from 17 May till sold ($107.87). then May 1852 note of pay from J. B. and Nath C. Daniel to Jas Williamson for 108 days board of 5 Negroes for 29 Jan 1857 to 17 May ($135)

---more recpts but on same sales as above:
one includes sale of Betsey [not listed previously, $12]
one is called Nathl Daniel "Statement" to Moses H. Daniel [re slave sale prices].
James Hall bought Willis and Alfred I think, but it might be jointly to Hall and Williamson. [note Hale/Hall. Also Hall and Williamson may just be sales agents. Yet another recpt looks like James Hall bought Lucy, London, Hannah, Willis and Alfred.]

---another accounting labels the slaves as belonging thus to the Daniel owners:
N. C. Daniels Negros: Landon, Tom, Anderson, Stephen, Lucy, Hannah
J.B. Daniels Negroes: Mary, George, Milly & children [children not named in several similar accounts until the sale below], Willis & Alfred

---Jan1857 acct James B. & N.C. Daniel to M. H. Daniel:
to sale London to James Scott $600
to sale George to German Fikes $750
to sale Mary to J. A. Bennet $396
to sale Tom Milly, Otway, Adline and Infant to James Tugg $1450
to sale Anderson sold Spencer Rutlege $1000
