Adrian Anglin's Petition for Freedom

June, 1721

Hanover County p^t      To the Worshipfull the Court of

                                     the said County

                                    Adrian Anglin humbly


Showeth
            That your petitioner came as an Indentured

servant into this Colony for four years and as such

was sold by Cap^t Abr^a Lewis to John Ragland of this

County and that now his said time by Indenture

is expired notwithstanding which his said Master

Ragland tho often required refuses yo^r petitioner

his freedom wherefore he prays the s^d Ragland

may be summoned to Court to show cause why your

pet^r should not have his freedom according to

Law
