Subject: [VA-HIST] Pleasants v. Logan
 
The case of Pleasants v. Logan in the High Court of Chancery at the end of the 18th century that forced the heirs of John and Jonathan Pleasants to free slaves they had inherited is well known. Can any one direct me to any work that has been done on the individuals who were freed as a result of that case. Thank you--Mick Nicholls
