- 1838, Henny Hawkins Adamy, Mention (Inventory)
- Description
- Henny (an enslaved child of 13 years from White Marsh) was included on a list of 272 enslaved persons compiled by the Jesuits to plan for the sale that was executed in 1838. She was listed as part of the extended family headed by Isaac, the daughter of Nelly, and sister of Cecilia and Ruthy. Each person is listed in this census with their ages and other information that determined their value as property. Between 1837 and 1838, the Jesuits also noted events that affected the availability of several individuals for the sale. The Jesuits organized this list by plantations: people were listed with others who worked at the same site and thereunder with family members who also worked at those sites.
