Page	Line	Name	Age	Sex	Race	Listed as Slave	Cause of Death	Notes
1	1	Humphrey, Robert Z.	4 years	Male	White		Inflammation of brain
1	2	Landers, Anthony	49 years	Male	Mulatto	Slave	Dropsy A general term meaning the accumulation of fluid in some part of the body. A diagnosis of “dropsy” often meant the condition was prevalent throughout the body, while a case in which the accumulation of fluid was more localized might receive a more specific diagnosis. Examples include dropsy of the belly (ascites), the brain (hydrocephalus), the chest (hydrothorax), or the skin (anasarca) (Hooper, Lexicon Medicum, 1860).

1	5	McDonald, Sterrit	1 month	Male	White		Spasm
1	6	McDonald, Moses	3 years	Male	Black	Slave	Unknown

1	8	Williams, Walter	36 years	Male	White		Congestion of lung
1	9	[Unnamed male]	1 year	Male	Black		Overlaid

Examples include dropsy of the belly (ascites), the brain (hydrocephalus), the chest (hydrothorax), or the skin (anasarca) (Hooper, Lexicon Medicum, 1860).
1	16	Johnson, Laurence	1 month	Male	Black	Slave	Hives Although hives are now generally defined as a rash of itchy red welts on the skin, in the 1800s the term was synonymous with cynanche trachealis, or the croup. The use of the term “hives” in this case is a corruption of the word “heaves,” which describes the patient’s spasmodic convulsions as they attempted to breathe (Mortality Statistics of the Seventh Census of the United States, 1855).
