This work is a supplement to a trilogy of history books documenting the enslavement of more than 5,000 white children in colonial Maryland and Virginia. They were taken, against their will and without their families' knowledge, from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Massachusetts, beginning in 1659. Arriving without indenture, that is without a written contract, they were brought to county courts to be sentenced to servitude for a term of years according to age brackets established by law - the younger the child, the longer the sentence. In the trilogy Mr. Phillips identified these children by name, and listed their ages and the dates of their court appearances. He searched all available birth and baptismal records and, where possible, cross-checked them with marriage and death records to identify the parents of 1,400 of these children. He also examined all available shipping records to identify 170 white slave ships and, if possible, the names of the captains who commanded them. This Supplement adds extensive information from newly discovered records, including those in Pennsylvania.

"In this groundbreaking work, Richard Hayes Phillips has collected the names of more than five thousand children kidnapped from Ireland, Scotland, England, and New England, and sold into slavery in Maryland and Virginia, c. 1660-1720. By English law dated 1659, it was lawful for justices of the peace to kidnap children found begging or vagrant and ship them to the plantations as servants without indentures. The younger the child, the longer the sentence, and the colonial county courts were the judges of their ages. These five thousand names, culled from the Court Order Books, some of which have not been examined for centuries, have now been compiled into one genealogical index. In almost every case the entries provide the name of the child, the name of the owner, the date they appeared in court, and the age assigned by the judges, many of whom owned the very children they were sentencing to servitude. For ease of use, the volume contains an index to the ships--and their captains--that imported these kidnapped children, as well as a surname index to guide the researcher to alternate or incorrect spellings as found in the Court Order Books. The Introduction to Mr. Phillips's book describes the history and conditions of white servitude in colonial Maryland and Virginia, along with an annotated list of the sources he consulte"--The publisher.

African American Studies - American Slavery From Interviews with Former US Slaves from Maryland. Sample: "My master's name was Thomas Mason, he was a man of weak mental disposition, his mother managed the affairs. He was kind. Mrs. Mason had a good disposition, she never permitted the slaves to be punished. The main house was very large with porches on three sides. No children, no overseer. "The poor white people in Charles County were worse off than the slaves; because they could not get any work to do, on the plantation, the slaves did all the work. "Some time ago you asked did I ever see slaves sold. I have seen slaves tied behind buggies going to Washington and some to Baltimore. "No one was taught to read. We were taught the Lord's Prayer and catechism. Typewritten records prepared by the THE FEDERAL WRITERS' PROJECT 1936-1938. Assembled by the Library of Congress Project. Work Projects Administration for the District of Columbia. Sponsored by the Library of Congress. Originally published WASHINGTON 1941

The Voices From The Past is a compilation of first-hand testimonies by former slaves, gathered and recorded by the Work Projects Administration. This powerful and poignant book provides readers with a unique insight into the lives and experiences of individuals who were enslaved in America. The raw and unfiltered narratives included in this volume shed light on the hardships, resilience, and strength of those who were oppressed, making it a valuable historical and literary resource. The book is written in a straightforward and unembellished style, allowing the voices of the former slaves to speak for themselves and resonate with readers. The literary context of this work is significant as it captures a crucial period in American history and provides a perspective often overlooked in traditional accounts. The Work Projects Administration, an agency established during the Great Depression, compiled these testimonies as part of their efforts to provide employment for writers and researchers. Their commitment to preserving the stories of those who lived through slavery serves as a testament to the importance of recording marginalized histories. This book stands as a testament to the dedication of the WPA in preserving the voices of the past for future generations. I highly recommend The Voices From The Past to readers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the human experience during the era of slavery in America. This compelling and enlightening collection of testimonies offers a unique perspective on a dark chapter in our history and is a must-read for those seeking to broaden their knowledge and empathy towards the struggles of the past.
