Thomas Thorp setting slave free 1818 Ky.
Hello,
I am a document trader & collector & recently purchased an "emancipation document" which is a will by Thomas Thorp of Madison County, Kentucky in 1818.Thomas desired to emancipate his negro man Ben "immediately after my decease".Other than Ben he bequeathed everything to his wife Eleanor which he spelled Elenor.
I am interested in corresponding with descendants regarding this original document.I am glad to provide pictures of it.
Thanks,
Joy Shivar
