Jesse Person seeks to free sixty-year-old Mingo, formerly owned by Captain William Green, deceased. Mingo "served his late master in such a faithful manner and performed so many good noble & meritorious acts" as to warrant his manumission. In addition, for many years, Mingo preached the gospel to whites and blacks in and around Louisburg. He gave entire satisfaction to "all the owners of Slaves who visit his meetings as well as others." In fact, Jesse Person informs the court, some of his Baptist congregation helped pay for his freedom.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
