Emanuel, Caroline, and Elijah named in John Monfort estate

This post is part of an ongoing project to record names of enslaved people of Greene County, Georgia I find in historical records. 

In 1851, the estate of John Monfort distributed three enslaved people—Emanuel, Caroline, and Elijah—as part of the division of his property.


Recvd. of Isaac Morrison, Admr. of John Monfort decd. the following negroes as my distributive share of the estate of my father to wit: negro man Emanuel valued at nine hundred dollars, woman Caroline valued at six hundred dollars, boy Elijah valued at seven hundred dollars these being the negroes as will more fully approve by reference to the division of said estate.

6th January 1851
