Guardian Sale. AGREEABLE to an order of the Court of Ordinary of Greene county, will be sold before the Court House door in Greenesboro, on the first Tuesday in March next, one Negro man named Hall, 37 years old, the property of James R. Rankin.

Note: In 1852, James Rankin sold a man named Hall, a 36-year-old shoemaker. I wonder if this was the same man.
