Osborn Jeffreys represents that he "is desirous to have emancipated and set free" an "aged negro man called Buffaloe Sam." Jeffreys acknowledges that the said slave has "been an honest and faithful servant and by his honest Industry raised and paid to his master forty five pounds Virginia Currency as a consideration for his freedom." The petitioner therefore prays "that the said Sam may be set free by the name of Buffalow Sam."
