Slavery in 1840

While nearly 70% of Bullitt County heads of households in 1840 did not own slaves, 254 did, and they controlled the lives of over 1300 slaves.

Four men listed a total of 224 slaves. David B. Whitman is shown with a total of 83 slaves. It is likely that many of them were used in mining iron ore and working iron furnaces. Jacob Bowman listed 51 slaves, and Joseph A. Brooks listed 47. Both likely used these slaves as agricultural workers. John H. Baker listed 43 slaves. He was operating an iron manufacturing business in Shepherdsville and perhaps at least one of the iron furnaces. In addition to the slaves, he likely had as many as 22 other workers employed in these businesses.

The chart below lists the slaveholders, and lists a count, by age, of their slaves. We have tried to accurately spell the names, but there may be some errors as the handwriting was difficult to read at times.
