Joseph Dutton of Sussex County, Delaware, recounts that he "recently became possessed of a certain female slave named Rachel, late the property of General William Potter of Caroline County State of Maryland." He therefore prays that a pass be passed "authorising him to bring the said negro woman Rachel from the State of Maryland into this State and to hold her as a Slave for the term of ten years from the passing of such act."
