Petition #11086008

Abstract

Citizens of Carroll County write on behalf of Wiley Wiggins, a twenty-two-year-old free person of color who has lived in the area for six years. Whereas a newly passed act of the legislature denies free blacks the right to remain in the state after 1 August 1860 without express permission of an act of the legislature, they ask the legislature to grant Wiggins permission to remain in Mississippi.
