"A Schedule of the negro slaves, the separate property of Obedience Aurelia Runnels, wife of Hiram G. Runnels," lists 29 slaves by name, age, sex and complexion. This may have been produced in anticipation of an imminent duel between Hiram Runnels and Mississippi legislator Volney Howard so that her property would not be affected if her husband should die.
