Edward Roche seeks permission to sell a 20-year-old female slave named Sylph out of the state. He asserts that she was determined "to injure him & his family," and that indeed their lives were "in danger from her Wiles and art." Roche is convinced that "she is a compleat Thief and Liar." The Justices of the Peace give Roche a license to export, sell, or carry her out of the state "to any part of the United States of America, or to any other part of the World where he may think proper."
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
