Autograph document signed by W.V. Morgan. Frederick County, Maryland, 31 May 1832. Single leaf, oblong 8-1/4" x 5-1/2." Written in ink manuscript on recto. Docketed on verso. Old folds. Very Good. Charles Lee is recorded as manumitted "immediately" by Mary Livers on 25 May 1827 in Manumission Deeds of Frederick County, Maryland, 1748-1865 (Vol. II, p. 67). In the 1820 Census, Mary Catherine Livers (1797-1875), lived in a household that enslaved eight individuals, by 1830, it had decreased to one male (aged 24-35). Charles Lee appears in the 1830 and 1840 Federal Census living with several other "Free Colored Persons." John Schley was longtime Clerk of the Frederick County Court, and a member of the prominent, wealthy Schley family of Frederick. He was the grandson of John Thomas Schley, founder of the town of Frederick and Revolutionary War soldier. John Schley was a Judge of the Orphans' Court for Frederick County, member of the Maryland Legislature, editor of the Frederick Examiner. The Justice of the Peace was William V. Morgan.
