Additional Information

Stephen was enslaved by Jacob Murray. In the Sales Bill regarding Murray's estate, a value of $50.00 was placed on "Stephe." He was then bought by his wife, M. Shooly. In the appraisement of Murray's estate, a value of $200.00 was placed on an enslaved man named Stephen. It is assumed that these two passages are describing the same person.

It is presumed that M. Shooly was a free person of color purchasing her husband in order to free him.
