Darby Henagan seeks to emancipate "two molatto slaves almost white" named Penny and Ned whose mother and grandmother served him meritoriously for years. "Advanced in life," Henagan acknowledges his "abhorrence & detestation of seeing persons of mixed blood in slavery which are almost white." He therefore "most ardently prays your Honble body to pass a Law to liberate the aforesaid Molatto children."
