Thomas Whitlock.....Surry County, NC Slave Document




Before I move on to discussing the family of Henry McDaniel, I just wanted to share this final document I located in the Surry County, NC Records of Inventories and Accounts of Sales. It's a bill of sale dated January 31, 1800 involving Thomas Whitlock of Surry County selling a 7 year old "negro boy by the name of Peter" to Joshua Creson for the amount of $160.

Considering Joshua Creson's son William married a Mary Bowen in Surry County, NC on May 26, 1812, I tend to believe this is the same Thomas Whitlock that is most likely the brother of James Whitlock who married Nancy Bowen.
