On 21 October 1817, Beckwith sold Winney to Samuel Dannor for $300 with two conditions:  Winney would serve Dannor until she paid him $350, and Dannor could only hire out Winney until she earned and paid him the money for her freedom.  Beckwith contends that Dannor has not paid him the $300 owed, even though Winney has paid Dannor "greatly upwards" of $300 towards her freedom.  Citing Dannor's refusal to pay, the petitioner asks that Dannor be subpoenaed and be compelled to pay $300, plus interest since the date of the sale.</abstract><subjects><subject>Purchase of freedom</subject><subject>Assessed Value (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)</subject><subject>Purchased for emancipation </subject></subjects></petition>
