Henry Show purchased Mary Jones "for a term of years" from William Logan, agent for William Rohback. The bill of sale stipulated that her term of service would end 22 April 1861. Show alleges "that said Mulatto slave is a woman of bad habits" and that "she actually absconded and run away" from him, for which she "was arrested and secured in the jail of Washington County." Show seeks an extension of Jones's term of service and he wants authorization to sell her out of the state.
Result: Granted.
