The Daily Dispatch: March 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Escaping negroes. (search)
ried a convenient distance from home and these, to save further trouble, are murdered: On the 24th of February last the negro girl, Sarah Jane, slave of O. P. Alexander, left his premises without any cause, and he supposed she had gone to Newborn. On Friday last, 18th March, he was informed that a free negro, called John Sharied the girl off to the edge of Onslow county and left her in a piece of woods in Mr. Seth Kings field, he being at the time hired at some Salt Works near by. Mr. Alexander kept Shavers secure until Saturday morning, when he made his escape, carrying off a trace chain locked around his ankles. Mr. Alexander repaired to the place Mr. Alexander repaired to the place Shavers had described to him where he left the girl, and about 150 yards from the road, with some friends, found the dead body of the girl, covered over with limbs, straw, &c. Her head was separated from the body — by her side lay a lightwood limb, from which most probably the unfortunate girl received the fatal blow.
