The last part about making application to the legislature was interesting as well, and it is something to follow up.<br /><br />~DeniseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521713742642286287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016122966077745254.post-5675388930563413892013-01-25T13:06:33.894-08:002013-01-25T13:06:33.894-08:00This is a great find.

Words used in the Wills and Testimony, during the 1800 have flowed like a song that moved your emotions with enormous respect. “In the name of God” Today, those same words would be considered offensive to some.<br /><br />Of particular interest to me are the words “my mulatto boy” I question whether this mulatto boy was his son, or only his property. Of course one would have to examine the records and etc. to make the distinction. However, I suspect that Lewis was his son, both because of his description and because he wanted “my mulatto boy” to remain with this family into adulthood. Thank you for sharing this document.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
