We cannot trace the growth of his holdings from one purchase but by the time of his death in 1726 he had six blacks: an adult male, two adult females, and three children under ten years of age. Four years later, following the death of Gibbs' widow Mary, the estate was once again inventoried. The intervening years had seen the county struck by epidemic. One black had been born but two (the adult male and one adult female) had died. The loss was not simply a matter of slave capital but of income as well. Before there had been three laboring adults and three children. Now there were four children and only one laborer. Gibbs' blacks had produced roughly ten pounds profit in 1726; Gibbs' widow's blacks produced less than a ten-shilling profit in 1730. In this particular case, the disaster was followed by departure from the county, Gibbs sole surviving son, Zacharias and his wife and child and Zacharias' two married sisters and their husbands and children all leaving to settle in the far western reaches of Spotsylvania Co. p 186 9 2/23 ************* From Middlesex County Virginia Will Book, 1713 - 1734, page 287 Will of John Gibbs (my 7th great grandfather) In the Name of God Amen.
