Thomas Middleton Plantation Book
Manuscripts Department Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The collection consists of one volume, the first page of which is headed, "Thomas Middleton's Plantation Book." It includes lists of slaves owned by Thomas Middleton and by the estate of his father, as well as a copy of an act establishing a free school at Dorchester, S.C., in 1734, and accounts, perhaps of Arthur Middleton (1785-1837). http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/m/Middleton,Thomas
