581. SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA FAMILY PAPERS

ca. 2,500 items, 1770-1920
Included are quite a few scattered references to slavery, such as doctor's bills for treating slaves, acknowledgment of pay for keeping a family of slaves for a year, bill of hire for a slave child, and an agreement for transporting and sale of slaves. A letter from the sheriff of Marion reports the capture of a runaway slave who had been traveling with a white woman; the slave had been dressed as a woman and his accomplice as a man.
