Negroes owned by Seaborn J. Hawk of Jasper County, Georgia
As recorded in his farm diary of 1854 - 1862

Born: the date recorded as born in the back of Seaborn's journal. This could be buy/sell date.
Note, I believe these dates are birthdates, although Joe and Edmon have "sold" in the birth column.
Shoe Size: Seaborn 'bot 23 pr shoes' on Nov 6 1859; these are how he distributed them.
Plantation Grid: Seaborn recorded a grid of slaves' cotton picking output in 1859.
Paid: Seaborn recorded payments as follows on Feb 2 1861, unknown reason.
Ran Away: Seaborn recorded that Stephen and Lewis ran away a few times.
Question: Who among these is listed in the 1870 census for Walton County?
