Westward Expansion, Antislavery, and Resistance
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In Spanish Florida, Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley became a free woman in 1811. By then, she was eighteen years old and the mother of three children, George, Martha, and Mary. In granting her and the children their freedom, Zephaniah Kingsley made manifest his memoir’s claim, “She has always been respected as my wife and as such I Acknowledge her.”1 He also freed Abraham Hannahan, manager of his Laurel Grove plantation. By this time, Anna was taking a larger role in her husband’s affairs and managed the plantation when Hannahan was away. Anna exercised her new freedom in 1812 by moving across the river and establishing her own farm on a Spanish homestead land grant, living there with her children and twelve slaves of her own.
