On 2 May 1859, John M. Tison petitioned the court for leave to sell land and all the negroes of Job Tison's estate. These three people were never before mentioned in the estate and their disposition was not recorded.

The following enslaved people were not listed in the inventory or on any other estate paper except for the possibility of Phillis.

Sidnah (Sheffield) Tison Peck received the following enslaved persons to be divided amongst Job’s children upon her death: Tom, Judy, Ned, and Maria.

Aaron Tison received Ben.

Isabell Sidnah Tison received Hester.

Melinda Tison received Phillis (presumably, the daughter of Mary, however, on another paper in the estate, it says that William Tison received Phillis, therefore, is this the same person or was there an adult Phillis that Melinda received?

Susan Elizabeth Tison received Clarissa.

William Tison received Peter.

John Tison received Joe.

Theresa Elizabeth Tison received Lydia.

Eliza Carter, granddaughter, received Patty.

Job Carter, grandson, received Frank.

During the 1830 Glynn County, Georgia census, Sidnah (Sheffield) Tison Peck was presumably listed in the home of her new husband, Michael Peck. It is unknown how many people Michael enslaved, but we do know that Sidnah brought her husband's estate into this marriage.

"Next door" to Michael Peck was listed Sidnah Tison and her household consisted of the following:
