Thanks, friends, for looking. However, there is  another piece to this 
puzzle: At times, in some of his earlier  years, Robert M., seems to have gone 
by the name "Robert M.  Miller" -- a loooong and complicated story, by itself.
 
Sure appreciate your time and effort and your willingness to help  !

We have  Halifax Personal Property Tax Lists from 1782-1821 so I looked for 
a Robert  Ferrell to see if there was anything that might be of interest. I 
started with  1817 as you indicated for the receipt. There is a Robert 
Ferrel listed in the  1817B tax list. I went back to 1813 and forward to 1821. I 
found a lot of  Ferrels but no more listings for a Robert. I just checked 
the "F" surnames  which would be the most logical place for his listing.

That wasn't much  help, sorry.
