sentences:  In 1769, Washington co-managed one such lottery in which fifty-five slaves were sold, among them six families and five females with children.The more valuable married males were raffled together with their wives and children; less valuable slaves were separated from their families into different lots.Robin and Bella, for example, were raffled together as husband and wife while their children, twelve-year-old Sukey and seven-year-old Betty, were listed in a separate lot.
