- Description
- Ben was a man who was claimed in ownership by an unknown enslaver and was hired by University of Virginia students living at Hotel D. He is mentioned in a March 10, 1831, entry in the Journals of the Chairman of the Faculty: "Some of Mr. Rose's boarders kept a servant. The proctor informed me that he understood some of Mr. Rose’s boarders had joined to keep a servant. On inquiring it appeared that nine of them had clubbed half a dollar a month for the services of an old man named Ben. He was ordered away from the premises."
