Description
Bill of Sale: "I have this day sold to Isham Gardener (Gardner) a Negro boy named Jackson for the sum of $1125 the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. I warrant said boy to be sound in body and mind and a slave for life. Given under my hand this 25th day of February 1857. C. J. Hart"
(Researcher's note: Multiple Platte County Gardners were enslavers. On November 22, 1866, Isham Gardner of Buchanan County, Missouri, signed claim for compensation #0002 for enlisted slave Jackson Yates. Gardner claimed he had acquired title by “…bought the slave Jackson Yates from Mr. C. J. Hart in the year 1857 for the sum of $1125 because I knew the man to be healthy, faithful, and trusty. The Bill of Sale I here attach - which you can see.”)Date(s) of Creation
