HAMP John Ridgely's Slaves 1829--64

John Ridgely's Slaves 1829--64

The following list of Ridgely slaves 1829-60 is drawn primarily from clothing lists in the Ridgely Papers, Ms. 692, Maryland Historical Society, in which slaves receive new clothing twice yearly. The lists were kept by Mrs. John Ridgely, Eliza E. R. Ridgely, in her own hand. They provide a good census of slaves over these years. Our information about these individuals is far from complete; research on them continues. Some, for example, appear in the clothing lists with no previous notice at all; others disappear as suddenly leaving no record as to why or where. As one moves in the records into the 1860's it is obvious that many are fleeing servitude. All were freed in 1864 by an act of the state legislature.

Former Goucher College student Karen Taylorson contributed heavily to this report.
