A colored woman named Mary Ann Leary Complains that, Daniel Perry of Jones Co. has had one of her children a boy named Prince bound to him at New Bern without the consent of his Parents. She alleges that when she refused to sign her name to a consent another person made her mark while she remonstrated.
Has such a Boy been bound to Perry at New Bern? And was the consent of the mother signed as the woman alleges? And if the consent of the mother was forged will you have the Indenture Canceled and the boy returned to his mother
