509. JOSEPH PALMORE PAPERS
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.
