Kelly explaining that "she was born free, being the child of a white woman."  On 19 November 1844, Kelly purchased "a mulatto girl named Catharine aged seven years for $150.00 cash," from two men, James Quarles and J. W. Brawner.  Kelly contends that the two men fraudulently sold the girl to him as a slave.</abstract><subjects><subject>Sues for freedom (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchase/Sale (enslaved children)</subject><subject>Interracial relationships</subject><subject>Warranty (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)</subject></subjects></petition>
