Reginald Butler has done research on manumissions of this sort in Goochland
County.  His dissertation would be a good source.  He quotes Ira Berlin
("Slaves Without Masters," p. 144.) --  "slaveowners, imitating the Quaker
practice, frequently sold or willed bondsmen to a friend or a free Negro
with the provision that the 'slave' be allowed to work on their own, keep
their wages and enjoy all the rights allowed free people of color."
