Code, chap. 111001Library of Virginia, Richmond, VirginiaIn 1833, George Rives, having inherited from his father about thirty slaves for whom he "felt all the peculiar ties of duty & attachment as is common under like circumstances," moved to Mississippi and acquired a cotton plantation. After two years, he discovered he had overestimated the potential profits and decided to bring his slaves back to Virginia. His creditors, however, initiated a suit, and he was delayed for a number of years. He has now settled with his creditors, and seeks permission to bring the "remnant" of his slaves, for whom he has great attachment, back to Virginia. Crops (Cotton)White attachment (enslaved)
