The rent of the Lands and the higher (hire) of the negroes was returned
into court for the year 1819 when I redeemed the account current for the

On pg. 190 & 191 is:
Hannah Hill Stokes in account current with Archelaus Carloss, her
guardian - Dec. 21, 1823(First entry has no date and there are years missing here. I wonder if
there is another book that has the missing years of accounts. The
guardians were required by law to file an account of the estate every
year. So, we are talking 2 years of accounts here that are not filed.
I will double check the film for entries that I might have missed. It is
such a faded film." Brought over as a balance due the guardian the 29 of December 1822 -

By the higher of Negroes due the 27th of Dec., 1823 - $160.55
Total = $268.55This is all there is on the account. And, usually there, is a final
account when the child marries or becomes of age. So, I really think
there is more, somewhere or it is just missing.
This doesn't help much with genealogy but knowing that her parents
had land in VA and that she may have attended school in Raleigh, might
give a clue to work with. And, I love the little details of the
clothing and costs of every day things that make them come to life.
