Gambill “for John Ray Esquire Sheriff” sold “at public sale one Negro Girl by the name of Phebe and her child by the name of vitel” to Daniel Jones for $185. No further information about Phebe, vitel and their relationships. “vitel” starts with a lower case letter, which may be something besides “v”.
