I represent Dick, an enslaved Black man 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. I was Dr. Bronaugh’s personal servant, and he bequeathed me, my wife Sally, and her child 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 September, 1822. I, Sally, and the child 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 my mother awaited my arrival. (Mrs. Bronaugh’s letter to Andrew Jackson of March 7, 1823, seems to indicate that Dr. Bronaugh purchased Sally before his death to keep from separating us.)
