William Armour, a free man of color, "wishes to emancipate his slave Rachael." Armour asserts "that Rachael is his wife, and that he purchased [her] for the express purpose of having her emancipated." He humbly prays "that the said Rachael may be emancipated and restored to all the rights and privileges of a free person of color in as full and ample a manner as if She had been born free."
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
