Greetings All, Since my move, my book entitled 'Some Slaveholders and Their Slaves' has been packed away (must hurry up and find it). Anyway, I also have a new computer and need to imput information. Can someone with the book tell me exactly what it says about the sale of the slave 'Jim' by Martha Calvert to Martha Jane Cooper? Much Appreciated! Dena Jordan
