  • Notes 
    • Elisha Webb, daughter of a free white woman and a Negro slave of Northampton, Virginia, was legally free from birth, due to her mother’s status. According to Virginia law, children born to white women were free, even if their father was a slave. A Virginia court bound out Elisha, like many other mulatto children, as an apprentice for eight years. Seven years into her apprenticeship, a Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sea captain, William Loud Jr., bought the remainder of her time, but treated her instead as a servant for life, or slave. Loud later sold her “forever” to Daniel Wentworth, one of Governor Benning Wentworth’s younger brothers. Wentworth retained a bill of sale to that effect. With the help of Judge Thomas Cable in Virginia, who had originally set up Elisha’s apprenticeship, and of an able Portsmouth attorney, Matthew Livermore, she was able to prove in 1741 to the satisfaction of the court in Portsmouth that she had been born free.
