1811 Slave Manumission. Document by which Isaac Stidham and Ann Shields "free our Negro Girl named Hetty aged Fifteen years…on condition that she…become bound by Indenture…for the term of Thirteen Years….," 2pp, 13x8" (New Castle County, Delaware), 10 Dec. 1811. Fine; minor blemishes only. Stidham and Shields were probably Quakers, and even though Quakers frowned upon slavery, conditional manumissions such as this one kept the former slave in bondage for years.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.

 
Realized $230
