Thanks for posting this. Also, many of these from Halifax Co., NC, were included in the records I abstracted from the Free Negro Register that I found at the end of the reel microfilm C.047.30003
with the Halifax Co. Court Minutes, 1847-1865. It also contained a number of Apprenticeships which I abstracted separately.

They are both posted here:
