Petition of Sundry Free Moors

South Carolina House of Representatives, 20 January 1790 — as printed in the Journals of the House.

What it proves: Samuel and Clarinda of Ninety Six are among the petitioners. The petition documents the men’s status as free-born subjects of the Emperor of Morocco; the wives’ origins are not stated in it, and this page does not state them.

Tier: Verified — document in hand.
