Description

Account and conditions discussing the terms of the leasing (also known as hiring out) Isaac, Judy, Becca, Haywood, Quinny, Parker, and Jesse. They were all originally enslaved by Matthew Parker but were leased out by Jesse Parker, the administrator of Matthew Parker's estate on behalf of the heirs.The Records of Enslaved People in Private Collections digital collection draws from various private collections, offering glimpses into different points in the lives of enslaved individuals such as purchases, sales, births, and deaths. Due to their legal status, these records seldom reflect their own perspectives; however, they serve as poignant reminders of their humanity and the systemic coercion imposed upon them by others and by governmental structures. The collection includes, but is not limited to, bills of sale, correspondence, inventories, lists, wills, and administrative records, collectively shedding light on the often harsh realities faced by enslaved people in different historical contexts. Please note that this collection represents a selection of records from the State Archives of North Carolina, offering a glimpse into their experiences rather than a complete representation.
