VICKORY FAMILY

1.    Indian Moll, born say 1700, was the slave of Captain Humphrey Marshall of Isle of Wight County. She had a daughter named Sarah according to depositions taken in Sarah's suit for freedom in Southampton County in 1757. Two of the deponents said that Moll was from Cape Fear (North Carolina). She was the mother of

2        i. Sarah, born say 1725.

2.    Indian Sarah, born say 1725, was the slave of Captain Marshall of Nansemond County when she was given by will to Sarah Clark [Byrd, In Full Force and Virtue, 151-3]. Indian Sarah petitioned the court in Southampton County for her freedom from Sarah Clark, and on 11 March 1756 the court appointed Miles Cary as her attorney. The court allowed her to take depositions from witnesses in Nansemond County, Isle of Wight County, and North Carolina. On 11 February 1757 the jury considered the depositions of Mary Hayes, Cornelius Ratcliff, Rachel Norworthy and John Sawyer, but the defendant asked that the jurors be discharged from giving their verdict and the action be quashed. The court ruled against Indian Sarah on 10 March that year [Orders 1754-9, 207, 219, 236, 265-6, 276, 291, 333, 345]. According to a suit heard in Granville County, North Carolina, she was the mother of

3        i. Ben, born say 1760.

3.    Ben Vickory, born say 1760, was still a boy when he was sold by John Clark to John Potter. He sued Potter's executors for his freedom and won his case in Granville County on 7 August 1782. He proved his ancestry by the Southampton County court papers in the suit brought by his mother Sarah [Byrd, In Full Force and Virtue, 151-3]. He was head of a Chowan County household of 8 "other free" in 1810 [NC:535]. He may have been the father of

i. Nancy, married Henry Harman, 18 December 1818 Chowan County bond.
