Marguerite Jason, a free woman of color, presents to the court that she has the "intention to emancipate" her forty-year-eight-old son named Joseph Jason. She vouches that Joseph has always "led an honest conduct," has never run away, and has never been guilty of any crime. She asks the court to order that the "notice" of emancipation be posted up at the usual place in the French and English languages, “according to law."
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
