1829, David Walker’s Appeal, Wilmington NC

Harriet Jacobs was the author of ‘Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl’. Although her family lived in NC and became free persons of color, they lived in the Albemarle section, Chowan County, the town of Edenton. Her maternal grandmother and mother were descended from a White planter in South Carolina. Her father was named Daniel Jacobs or Elijah Jacobs. He was a slave nearby, and was probably the son of a local White farmer named Henry Jacobs. The story Harriet’s family – including abolitionist brother John S. Jacobs – is important to understanding NC, slavery, light-colored slaves, and free persons of color, but these Jacobs are not related to the PenderROCK Jacobs’.
