I was bron in Wilmington, N.C.
I belonged to John Stanley. I was
sold and two children to a Negro
trader by the name of Davis. He
brought me and children to Peters-
burg [Petersburg], Va. I left my husband in
Wilmington; some called him Peter
Picket and some Peter Stanley; he
belonged to the Pickets, who lived
in Dupelin county. My father had
three children, and I am the oldest.
I had one sister and a brother; my
sister's name was Mary and brother
Wright. I had one aunt by the
name of Peggie, who lived in
Dupelin county. J.A.W. Moore,
