Description
Lucy Cary's enslaved persons, who were often leased by the University of Georgia, were recorded to be loved and respected, and prided themselves to belong to her and her family, as recorded by Augustus Hull in the "Annals of Athens."
Partial Transcript: "Her manners were formed from the best models of Virginia society — gentle, courteous, dignified, cheerful — as kind to one of her slaves as to a white person of the same age ; and the result was that her slaves not only loved and respected her but prided themselves in belonging to an old Virginia family."
