After Kindell's death, however, the administrator of his estate sold Jim to one Robert Elliott, and this in fact that the estate was solvent. Now, a group of Limestone residents, satisfied that is was Kindell's intention to emancipate his slave and declaring Jim to have been "a faithful & honest servant," ask for the latter's manumission.
