William Brand Advertisement

This advertisement was posted by William Brand in newspapers across the South to offer "my negro men 40 in number, without exception the most valuable lot of slaves ever offered in this State." It notes that these are skilled laborers, many who worked as bricklayers and others "capable of conducting buildings by a plan." It is likely that many of these laborers constructed the home and other structures on this property.
