Now know ye that for the considerations aforesaid and at the particular instance of the mother of said Wilson Green and the freedom of the said Rachel Mary, I the said David Jameson do hereby manumit and set free the said Rachel Mary and do release to her all the right, title and interest whatever which I ever had or may now have in and to her servitude for ever; saving however to the said Wilson Green his priority of the title as above stated.
