I have a land deed as do many other descendants of Ezekiah P. Waldrop that describe a slave named patience and her Mulatto daughter. I have always known what that mean't, but the troubling part is who was the father? Was it Exekiah? One of his sons? If so, then when this young fella was sold, they were selling their own flesh and blood. Interesting document.
