2 items

Campbell County (Va.) Petitions for Re-Enslavement, 1867, consist of a petition submitted by Dennis Holt, who was emancipated by the will of Andrew Holt, his father. Citing "his infirmity of body, and imbecility of mind" as well as his distrust in "his ability to take care of himself," Holt sought to be enslaved to David Hoffman. Hoffman enslaved Nancy, Holt's wife. Submitted in 1860, the petition was dismissed in 1867. Included alongside the petition is a copy of Andrew Holt's will. A "free man of color," Andrew emancipated Dennis and Burwell, his sons, upon his death. According to the will, he purchased them from Thomas Steptoe.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
