Matilda and her child were previously enslaved by Samuel Stoner. Stoner's sales bill shows that a value of $600.00 was placed on Matilda and her child.
Jacob Fowler's will stipulated that the unrecorded woman and child would be inherited to John Steel. The valuation of both the child and there mother is $600.
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.
