Following the death of Richard Fitzhugh of Oak Hill in 1821, six slaves were identified by name in his will and estate account report.

1. In his will: “I give to my beloved wife Susannah Fitzhugh … my negro Abraham”¹
2. In the executors’ report of his estate account: “Dec 1821 By cash recd. from the sale of Slaves viz: for Henry & Sumner $675” and “Feby 1822….for Sam, George & Julius $1000”²
