Norbert Robert, a free man of color, presents to the court that he intends to emancipate his mother, Jeannette Robert, whom he purchased for that specific purpose. He declares that Jeannette is above thirty years of age, has always "led" an honest conduct, has not run away, and has never committed any misdemeanor. Norbert Robert asks the court to order that the notices "prescribed by law" be published and, if there is no opposition, to authorize him to "carry into effect" the emancipation of his mother.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
