Series 2668: Executed Slaves. 1846-1865.
Auditor (RG 29).
These materials consist of receipt warrants for costs associated with county court cases for executed slaves in the state. After a slave was convicted of a capital offense, the sheriff summoned five slaveholders of the county to appear and assess the value of the slave condemned to death. The owner was then allotted half of the assessed value for that slave. Materials are arranged by year. A chart with the date, county, value, slave name, owner name, and offense is also provided.
