Free people of color Howard Cash and his wife ask for a special act allowing them to remain in the state. Howard was born free and his wife acquired her freedom by purchase. They have children, who are slaves, and they pray that if "it may please the Almighty to spare their lives, they will endeavour to demean themselves as good and loyal Subjects to the State."
Or you may view all people.
