Joshua Dinkins, "now aged and infirm," seeks compensation for "two very Valuable Negroe Slaves," taken and "carried away" by the "Rebel Colonel James Cary." Dinkins declares that there "are now in the district of Kershaw nine Slaves who were the property of the said James Cary and subject to ... the confiscation Act." He therefore prays that "your hon body to make him a reasonable recompense" from "the said nine Slaves which were the property of the said James Cary and not disposed of by the Authority of the State."
Result: Referred to committee.
