List of the Slaves Owned by John P Phillips in 1852, Cotton Valley, Macon, Alabama

This is a transcription of a list of slaves who were apparently owned by John P Phillips(1792-1852), who lived in Cotton Valley, Macon, Alabama, when he died in 1852.  John was the second husband of my 4th great grandmother, Timney P Watts (1805-1863), and stepfather to my 3rd great grandfather, Jesse T. S. Warren.

The name, age (in 1852), and estimated value (I'm assuming) is included.  I will need to go back and obtain a better image of the original, as my copy is very blurry.
