Isaac Frazier, "the owner of a boy named Richard between the age of eight and nine years," declares that said child "is so white as with difficulty to be known as a person of color."

Noting that "in which design he has been defeated by the late act of the honorable Legislature," the petitioner prays "your honble body to emancipate the said slave by a special act."
