Jameson describes Jacob as being "dutiful and faithful in his services" and explains that Jacob "attended to and managed his [father's] whole business without any overseer" when the elder Jameson became too old "to superintend his business personally." Citing Jacob's "long course of faithful and meritorious services," the petitioner prays that the court will grant his father's wish "entertained and expressed on his death bed that said slave should be emancipated."owner(s)/citizens manumit/free slaveWhite attachment (enslaved)
