<br /> 70 The 1840 census listed six enslaved boys under 10;ten young men aged 10-23;three men aged 24-35;two men
<br /> aged 36-54;two men over 55;nine girls under 10;four young women 10-23;five women 24-35;four women 36-54;
<br /> and one woman over 55.The gender distribution is equal(23 males and 23 females),while the ages skew younger,
<br /> with 29 aged 23 years and under compared to 17 over the age of 24.This follows a large transaction in which
<br /> Waddell and Sarah Moore had sold 26 enslaved individuals in September 1839 in order to settle debts.These 26
<br /> enslaved persons were Tony,the late Moore,Jr.'s body servant since circa 1809;Jerry Murdock,whom Moore,Jr.
<br /> had acquired in Orange County in 1836;Job,Billy,Jerry the blacksmith,Peggy,Herminia,Diana,Katy,Elizabeth,

<br /> 74 One of the more interesting interments in the cemetery is"Mammy Sue,beloved nurse of the Nash and Waddell
<br /> Family."No birth date is ascribed to Mammy Sue,who died in August of 1587.Given that she has no surname,and
<br /> given her role vis-a-vis the Waddell family,Mammy Sue was likely an enslaved African American.If so,she is the
<br /> only known burial of an enslaved person in the Cameron-Moore-Waddell Cemetery.
