Additional Information

Due to the differences in where they are willed, it is likely this Amy and another enslaved woman named Amy are two separate people, as this Amy was willed to James Sarver, while another Amy was willed to Catharine Sarver alongside Amy's two children, with the potential to purchase her freedom. However, in case they are in fact the same individual, this other Amy is linked below.

Amy

Sarver willed "the 'title' to Amy if she paid for her freedom, and noted that if she could not pay for her freedom "she and her 2 Unidentified children are to remain with [Sarver's] mother." The tile of freedom is likely referring to manumission.
