ca. 1,000 items, 1781-1883
Interspersed throughout this collection of a Cumberland County farmer are documents and letters relating to slavery, such as an 1830 deed of sale for a slave. In the 1830s there are a few notes promising payment for the hiring out of slaves, and there are letters to Joseph Palmore from his brother in Mississippi mentioning the selling and trading of slaves.
