Slave Owners, Slave Holdings and Slave Transactions
Fannin County, Texas 1836-1865
Compiled by Tom Scott
January 1983
It was estimated that the slave population of Texas, in 1836, was five thousand. Many of the earliest settlers of Fannin County arrived in the area with slaves in their households, but no statistics on the number of slave holdings is available until the 1840 tax rolls. In that year there were 37 slave owners with a total of 99 slaves.
In 1850 Texas had a slave population of 58,161. In Fannin County there were 139 slave owners with 493 slaves. By 1860 the slave population of the state had increased by some 214% to 182,000. The 1860 Fannin County Slave Population Schedule shows 202 slave owners with 1,682 slaves.
Fannin County was never one of the larger slave holding counties and the deed records of the period from 1836 to 1865 saw few slave transactions in comparison with other counties. Between the beginning of the county, in 1837, and 1850, only twenty transactions are of record. From 1850 until the end of the Civil War, in 1865, only an additional 104 transactions are recorded.
The earliest sale is recorded in the deed from Carter T. and Abigail Clifft to Charles Quillen an 23 April 1836. This transaction actually took place within the confines of Red River County before the area was cut away to farm Fannin County, but the deed is recorded in the Fannin County records. The last transaction, between Reese Stewart and Franklin Stewart, took place nearly ten weeks after Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House an 9 April 1865.
In 1850 the average value of a slave was $362, but by 1860 this had nearly doubled to $672. Field hands generally sold for $1,200 to $2,000. Plowboys were valued at $1,000 to $1,500. A slave with exceptional or unusual skills could bring a considerably higher price. The highest price an record in Fannin County was the $3,200 paid by Nancy C. Hardeman to Thomas Williams on 8 Oct 1863.
There are only two instances of public slave sales in the county. The first was the sale of a single slave by Simpson, Inglish, and White to R. H. Taylor on 4 April 1854. The other, and largest sale, was Jason Pettigrew's sale to the highest bidder W. B. Allen. The latter sale was referred to by J. Taylor Allen in his Early Pioneer Days in Texas, published in 1918, as "the famous Jason Pettigrew sale."
Many slaves were never put up for sale simply because they remained the property of one family for several generations and the slaves and their progeny were simply passed down by will and probate.
The transactions included in this compilation are bilIs of sale, mortgages, deeds of gift, and inventories of separate property.
