Three individuals were born to a mother called Hagar on the estate: Sally Jeffery (b. 1795), Farry (m) and Christmas (f) (1812-7th of February 1819).*
Sally Jeffery was described as Mulatto, indicating that her father was white.
Sally Jeffery was named as the mother of four children: Mary (1816-1822), Elizabeth Gibbs (2nd of October 1819-1822),* William (b. 1822) and Lewis (b. 1826). Mary and Elizabeth were described as Quadroon, indicating that their father was white, while William and Lewis had a father of African heritage.
