Sheriff's Sale. I WILL EXPOSE TO SALE, at public outcry, at the Courthouse of the county of Williamson, in the town of Georgetown, Texas, on Monday, the third day of May next, 1852, a certain negro man, committed to the county jail of said county, on the 15th day of September last, 1851, as a runaway who calls his name TOM, and is of the following description, to-wit: said slave is near six feet high, slim and straight, of dark complexion, slow of speech, and apparently 25 years of age. Legal notice having been given of the apprehension and commitment of said slave, and no owner having appeared to claim and prove his property in the person of the said negro, within the time prescribed by law. JOAB B. HARREL, Sheriff, Williamson County. March 29, 1852. 33-4w
In Sept 1851, I was caught in Georgetown, Texas. For six months, I’ve sat in the county jail but no one has come for me. Now, the Sheriff is selling me at the courthouse door to settle the debt of my own imprisonment. My name was TOM #slavery #blackhistory #TX
