This Indenture made the ninth day of January One thousand Eight hundred and 
thirty two between Co'l Gad Humphreys at present of the City of St. Augustine of the first part

and thirty one indebted unto the following persons in the following sums of money

thousand Eight hundred & thirty one for the purpose of paying the said debts 
assign to the said John M. Hanson the wages of certain Negroes then 
recently hired to Dan'l S. Griswald by the said Gad Humphreys and whereas 
although a part only of the said wages of the said Negroes have been received 
by the said John M. Hanson , he may have rendered himself responsible 
to the above named creditors of the said Gad Humphreys so far as 
their respective claims remain unsatisfied; and whereas the said John 
M. Hanson hath at the request of the said Gad Humphreys relinquished 
his right under the aforesaid assignment to receive the balance of the wages 
owing by the said Daniel S. Griswald for the said Negroes; and whereas it is 
reasonable and proper not only that the said John M. Hanson should be 
secured against all claims on the part of the above named creditors of the said 
Gad Humphreys growing out of the aforesaid assignment , but that the said 
Creditors of the said Gad Humphreys hould be secured in their just demands 
against him.  Now therefore this Indenture Witnesseth that the said 
Gad Humphreys for and in consideration of the premises and in consideration 
also of the sum of Ten dollars by the said John M. Hanson to him in
