(updated weekly)
Virginia relaxed its emancipation laws in 1782, allowing masters to free their slaves by will, deed or other instrument of writing.
However, North Carolina maintained strict restrictions on manumission throughout this period--prohibiting manumission
except for "meritiorious service." Slaves freed by Quakers without approval were taken up by the sheriff and sold. . Many of the
North Carolina emancipations that were approved by the legislature are recorded by William L. Byrd, III, In Full Force and Virtue:
North Carolina Emancipation Records, 1713-1860. Only one case is recorded from Halifax County: Julius Zollicoffer's will in
1858.#
