The following is a list of manumissions of
African-American slaves recorded in the court records for the town and county
of Alexandria, 1785 to 1863. Manumissions are records of legal emancipation of
slaves. These are drawn principally from the town's deed books. The records for
the years 1791 through 1800 are mainly from the Alexandria Hustings Court
(which are below cited as "Hust" followed by the deed book letter and page) but
also from Fairfax County Deed Books (identified below as "Ffx." followed by the
book and page numbers). Those from 1801 to 1863 were recorded in the Alexandria
Circuit Court, the court of jurisdiction during and after the period in which
Alexandria was a portion of the District of Columbia. (Circuit Court records
are indicated below simply by the alphanumeric book designation and page.) A
fourth source is the collection of miscellaneous Alexandria (now Arlington)
County records held by the Library of Virginia (cited below as "LVA").
These are not the only Alexandria
manumission records, of course. Any study of manumissions requires examination
of the county's "Free Negro Registers," which have been transcribed and
published by Dorothy S. Provine (Alexandria County, Virginia, Free Negro
Registers, 1797-1861, Bowie, Maryland, 1991). This book has been referenced
herein to supply slave surnames, shown in brackets, when none are given in the
original deeds. Will books are another productive source of information, as are
court minutes.
