Joseph Alfred Harrison Shelton ....in the 1860 census for Massies
Mill....had values of $20,000 for real estate and $24,700 in personal
property. I assume the real estate value included the home and out
buildings. What was included in personal property besides the obvious?
How about slaves, livestock, etc. Were they personal property?
