Sally’s unnamed child (Bronaugh)

I represent the child of Sally, an enslaved Black woman in the household of Dr. James Craine Bronaugh, who was a physician on the staff of General Andrew Jackson and served as the General’s personal doctor and he bequeathed me, my mother, and her husband, Dick, to his mother in Loudon County, Virginia, in the care of General Jackson, who was Dr. Bronaugh’s friend. Dr. Bronaugh died of yellow fever in Pensacola in 1822. Dick, my mother and I were conveyed first by Edward Rutledge from Pensacola to The Hermitage in Tennessee, and from there Col. Charles P. Tutt saw us to Mrs. Bronaugh’s, where Dick’s mother awaited his arrival.
