Family Search has provided another Bembry estate file, that of Kenneth Bembry who died intestate in Tallahassee in 1854. His inventory reveals a a somewhat luxurious household including mahogany furniture, silverware, crystal, and of course, a list of “negroes.”
Unfortunately, the file does not include a record of the estate sale, so there is no indication as who purchased the listed individuals. However, Kenneth’s daughter, Harriet, administrator of the estate, was married to Robert Westwood Fisher, a wealthy plantation owner. So, it is likely that many of the people listed below went with her.
