Abstract
The folder contains legal documents created during the years 1822-1829, which relate to the emancipation of Harriet Battles and Ann Battles Johnson by Gabriel Tichenor.

The first document, dated May 16, 1822, is a notice and acknowledgment of Tichenor's intention to emancipate Harriet Battles. The document was drafted in the Parish of Concordia, Louisiana and signed by Gabriel Tichenor, Judge Edward Broughton, and Deputy Sheriff A. Stanbrough.

The second document is a deed of manumission, dated May 1826, for Harriet Battles and her young daughter Ann Battles. The document is drafted and signed in Ohio by Gabriel Tichenor, Tichenor's lawyer Nathanial Wright, Judge George P. Torrence of Hamilton County, Ohio, Isaac G. Burnet, mayor of Cincinnati, and the court clerk. In essence, this deed, re-emancipated Harriet and legally manumitted her daughter Ann through the Court of Ohio.

The third document of Gabriel Tichenor (now claiming citizenship in Natchez, Mississippi) notifies the State of Mississippi that he has given his Cincinnati lawyer, Nathanial Wright, full power of attorney and informs the court that Wright has emancipated Harriet and Ann Battles. Through this document, Nathanial Wright also offers testimony that Tichenor has manumitted both Harriet and Ann Battles, through his attorney. The mayor of Cincinnati, Issac Burnet, also offers testimony of Nathanial Wright's right to manumit Harriet and Ann Battles on Tichenor's behalf.

The fourth document, dated December 21, 1827, is a receipt for the sale of two enslaved persons--"a negro girl named Julia aged about 21 years, and a child Laura aged one year"--from James Ferguson to Jenny Bush, Harriet's mother. Julia and Laura were later purchased and emancipated by Harriet Battles in 1840 (folder 17 of the William T. Johnson and Family Papers contains the act of emancipation), and it is likely this receipt belonged to Harriet. The receipt is attached to newsprint from a page of classified advertisements in a New Orleans newspaper.

The fifth item of the folder, dated June 11, 1829, is a handwritten receipt for Harriet Battles for the purchase of flour and lard.
