ABSTRACT
Caesar King, an industrious colored man, had a daughter that was a slave to a person who resided in Maryland. Caesar was an intelligent, managing man, and had acquired a small property near Pennypack, a few miles north of Philadelphia, where he resided with his family. He was esteemed a man of probity. He informed me, that he never sat down to take his meals, or laid his head upon his pillow at night, without thinking of his daughter; not knowing how soon she might be sold to the speculators, and removed to a part of the country where he could never expect to hear of her.
