| Notes | Sixteen slaves took refuge in the Ageney during the year. Twelve of these received manumission certificates from the Political Agent. One was manumitted voluntarily by his master. One died of plague and the remaining two, an elderly woman and-a young boy, left the Agency of their own accord to return to their masters. It is not immediately clear if any of these people were African, although inputted totals are meant to represent the possibility. |
