Rachel Baker, her three children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, and Henny Baker and her five children and two grandchildren, declare that "they are descended from an Indian woman named Moll or Mary that the Said Moll or Mary was a free native of America." They represent that "your petitioners have been entitled to their freedom from their birth and are now deprived thereof and held as slaves by John Paca of Queen Ann's County." They ask the court to subpoena John Paca and to free them from bondage.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
