I had not previously heard the definition of a planter , i.e., owner of 
at least 20 slaves.  Could someone elaborate on this or refer me 
elsewhere if this subject has been previously discussed to exhaustion?

And what is the definition of a plantation?  # of acres, slaves, types 
of crops........  What is the definition of a manor?  British, 
royalty........

"Farm" had a different meaning:  "rented tract of land", as I understand 
it. 

Thanks - Judy Gabor
