John de Gall’s claim leaves one person uncompensated

← Back to Dashboard
📅 1 July 1863 📍 Sint Maarten

A National Archives index entry lists five enslaved people in John de Gall’s 1863 borderel, but compensation for only four; one person was excluded for absenteeism. The database does not identify the person. Absence from an owner’s account is not proof of what happened, but it may preserve evidence of escape or refusal.
