Compared with the hiring list for 1833 we can see that Jack and Hal are the only ones to be hired by the same people. Two of Jeremiah's siblings, Mary and Robert, were among the hirers this time. Abram was hired by Graybill and Butts jointly, perhaps to work on the plantation Jeremiah set aside in his will for the benefit of the seven slaves he hoped to see freed within five years? There's no mention of Tom, described as "insane" on the 1833 list but it could be that the $10 coffin bought from John H. Breedlove in the previous year's accounting was for him. John Arnold was also a resident of Hancock County but I've not been able to find any mention of P. Equals in census records.
