----, MOSES
    by Julia Munro

Moses, male (last name unknown), is mentioned several times in the Proctor's Daybook as being hired out to the university by owner Charles Poindexter (P47090). On January 1, 1824, the Proctor recorded, "Paid to Charles Poindexter for Reubin (P47097) $60, for Moses $60, for Ben (P47095) $50, for Wyatt (P47100) $40." A January 4, 1825 entry noted, "Labour acct. draft to Bills Payable to C. Poindexter for hire of Moses, Reubin, Ben, Wyatt & Stephen (P47099) $250 - bonded." Lastly, a January 8, 1826 entry noted, "Sundries with Bills Payable Labour acct. for Moses, Ben, Wyatt of Charles Poindexter - $150 bond." An additional slave of Poindexter's that was hired out in this time period was Prince (P47098).
