Description

It appears that the transaction was an exchange rather than a purchase: "Received of Mr David Cobb A Negroe man named primas A being A full compensation for A sertain Negroe girl named Mille." The location is not given, though David Cobb lived in Ray County, Tennessee, before moving to Madison County, Alabama, in 1809. (A note in pencil on the back confirms the date to be 1801, but it is possible that the year written in ink at the top of the bill is 1807.)
