Slave Importation Certificates in Alexandria County Records, 1790-1845
Compiled by Timothy J. Dennee, 2001 and 2004, all rights reserved.

Perhaps a brief explanation of the shifting jurisdictions in Alexandria would be in order (as it always seems to be) before proceeding to the specific subject matter. The town of Alexandria was chartered by the Virginia legislature in 1749 and soon became the seat of Fairfax County. A portion of Fairfax County was incorporated into the new District of Columbia, however, and Alexandria officially came under the legal jurisdiction of the District in 1801, as part of the new Alexandria County. In 1847, Alexandria County was retroceded to the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1870, the new Virginia constitution made Alexandria an independent city, separate from Alexandria County, which is now called Arlington.

This history usually complicates research, especially that of legislative and court records. Before 1801, Alexandria’s laws relating to owning, importing, punishing and manumitting slaves were generally written by the state legislature. When incorporated into the federal District of Columbia, Congress permitted Alexandria County to retain the Virginia laws previously in force.

During and after the Revolution, the institution of slavery seemed as though it might slowly die. The northern states increasingly passed laws banning the slave trade and slavery itself; the exhausted soils of the Chesapeake region discouraged demand for slaves; and cotton was not yet king in the Deep South. While slaveholders were still heavily dependent on slaves, they were in the minority of the nation. Even many masters exhibited ambivalence about the morality and ultimate necessity of slavery. Americans were embarrassed by the inherent contradictions in their simultaneous championship of liberty and use of slave labor. This question was shown in stark relief by the British policy of seizing and freeing American slaves.

Virginia passed a number of post-colonial laws relating to slavery. Among the first was a 1778 act "for preventing the Farther importation of Slaves." Possessing a sufficient and reproducing population of native-born slaves, the state could afford to take a humanitarian half-step, prohibiting further importation, especially for the purpose of sale (slaves brought in and remaining for a year would be set free). There were several exceptions, of course. The law did not affect travelers making a transient stay, nor citizens of Virginia temporarily residing elsewhere who returned with their slaves. The primary exception, however, was for those moving from another state in order to become residents.

Provided always, That this act shall not be construed to extend to those who may incline to remove from any of the United States, and become citizens of this, provided, that within ten days after their removal into the same they take the following oath before some magistrate of this commonwealth "I, A. B. do swear, that my removal to the state of Virginia, was with no intention to evade the act for preventing the farther importation of slaves within this commonwealth, nor have I brought with me, or will cause to be brought, any slaves, with an intent of selling them, nor have any of the slaves now in my possession been imported from Africa, or any of the West India islands, since the first day of November, 1778. So help me God."

This law—with some minor changes of language and a reporting requirement extended from ten to sixty days after arrival—was combined with other existing laws into a comprehensive act in 1792. The law and the above oath remained nearly the same, even after the formation of the District of Columbia.

The following are records of such oaths, extracted from four sources: Alexandria Hustings Court Deed Books, 1785-1800; Alexandria Deed Books, 1801-1853; Alexandria County Hustings Court Order Books, 1780-1799; Alexandria County Circuit Court Order Books, 1801-1866; and one entry from Abstract of Reports of Aliens Registered, Alexandria County, Virginia, 1801-1829, among the records of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia, Alexandria County in the collections of the Library of Virginia. The Alexandria deed book citations are indicated below by an alphanumeric book and page number. The Fairfax County deed book book and page numbers are preceded by "Ffx." The Hustings Court orders are identified by "Hustings," the Circuit Court records are identified by "Circuit," and the Alien Register entry is simply "Alien." References in the court minute and order books represent notations of the presentation and attestation in court of already issued certificates and do not contain the names of the slaves. These records date from between one day to six years after each certificate was actually issued.

Because of the history of jurisdiction changes, the Alexandria and Fairfax County deed books overlap somewhat. The Fairfax deed books of the 1790s make reference to owners residing in the town of Alexandria and also include deeds and orders entered in the Alexandria Corporation Court. It is these citations that are included below. Fairfax County importations have been compiled elsewhere on this site.

Most of the following are from deed books, first appearing in 1792 (but dating as early as 1790) and concluding in 1845. These records include the slaveowners' names (and often a spouse, parent or guardian reporting for the actual owner); the slaves' names (and usually approximate ages, often surnames, and sometimes occupations), often the state of origin, and occasionally with the exact date of arrival. Possibly misspelled names of slaves have not been corrected, but likely proper variants or full names have been suggested in brackets to make searching for a particular first name easier with a browser. Keep in mind that many names used are diminutives, and that it is even possible that a slave may never have used or may never have been given a "full" first name.

The entries are organized by date. Some of the entries, and especially of the earliest, provide no names of slaves. For most of the slaves, no surname is given. They are arranged, as originally, under the name of the owner, since that may be a predictor of familial relationships between slaves. The slave names are almost universally recorded here in the order they appeared in the original records. While most slaves may have used a surname, masters typically did not dignify their servants by recognizing or using such names in speech or on paper. The slave surnames which appear are:

Amis, Blackburn, Bronaugh, Bruce, Dailey, Dyer, Gerrard, Halley, Howard, Jannefer, Lee, Loggins, Medley, Miers, and Washington.

The dates given below are usually the dates the applicant took the oath and was given his or her certificate. This date was usually shortly after arrival in Alexandria County. When marked with an asterisk (*), however, they are instead the dates in which certificates were presented to the court and entered into the minute, order and/or deed books. As required by the 1792 law, the certificates were granted within sixty days of arrival. As mentioned above, however, appearances before the court ranged anywhere from one day to six years after the issuance of the certificate.
