The average price paid for a person was about $1,200. By looking through Laynes' probate documents I think I have identified those people by name:
Inventory of Thomas Laynes' estate Dated July 4, 1859 |
- Alvin, a 21-year-old man (“boy”) - $1,660
- William, a 16-year-old boy - $1,730
- Washington, an 11-year-old boy - $1,365
- Jefferson, an 11-year-old boy - $1,305
