Enslaved People Named: Hannah, Bob, Hampshire, Mary, Charles, Louisa, Joe
On April 2, 1821, John Stewart, Liberty County, used as collateral on a promissory note of $600 to Josiah Wilson and Uriah Wilcox, same place, “the seven following slaves, viz. Hannah and her two children named Bob and Hampshire, likewise Mary and her three children, named Charles, Louisa, and Joe for the better securing the payment of six hundred dollars.” He also used his 11-acre residence. Stewart apparently had a loan for that amount from the Bank of Darien that was secured by Wilson and Wilcox, and the mortgage was intended to secure them from loss in case of default. Witnessed by Duncan Graham, N.H. Butler. Recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on April 5, 1821.
