Alexandria, Va., Court House records [manuscript], 1813-1859.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647880531

The collection consists chiefly of correspondence and documents relating to slaves and free blacks residing in Alexandria, Va. Much of it concerns the legality in 1831 of blacks assembling for worship. Another major segment relates to a proposed 1844 repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1793. Single items in the collection deal with runaways, passes, religious gatherings, summonses and sales. A few non-slave items include an 1813 resolution forming a committee of vigilance and an 1839 bond for the keeper of the powder house. Correspondents include Henry Alexander Wise, Edmund Jennings Lee, Joseph Eaches, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, and William Gilham.
