From ?publisher?s version?
The will of Marceline McArthur indicates that long-term leasing of a slave was
also done. She directed, ?...the Negro man slave named Piere (sic) shall be hired out
from year to year until my said youngest child shall be of age , and that the proceeds of
his hire shall go toward the support, schooling, and clothing of my children, and I do
wish that he not be hired out of this county and state, and I do not wish him to be hired to
go upon any water craft.?(Footnote: Ibid) It is perhaps worth noting that Mrs. McArthur
was the fourth largest landowner, according to the 1850 census, with real estate valued at
$35,000. She was the mother of Elizabeth, called Lizzy by Annette Koch elsewhere in
this text, and identified as the widow of Moody, killed by the citizen?s committee during
the Civil War.
