Notes
-
Given the clues provided in the advertisement, it is plausible that John may have self-emancipated from Patrick Hinds's home at 20 Beaufain Street Charleston, South Carolina. Hinds listed 20 Beaufain Street as his address in the 1782 Charleston City Directory. For more, see John Hagy, The People and Professions of Charleston, South Carolina, 1782 - 1802.
