Person:Sarah Reid (7)

Notes

From "The Cabells and their Kin", by Alexander Brown:

Sarah Reid (daughter of John and wife of Andrew Reid, who died about 1765) was murdered in old Amherst County by a negro man while on her way to a neighbor's. On July 3, 1764, his Majesty's commission of oyer and terminer was produced for the trial of Peter, a negro man belonging to Andrew Reid. The commission was to William Cabell, Jr., presiding justice of the peace, David Crawford, Daniel Burford, Cornelius Thomas, John Rose, and Zacharias Taliaferro, Gentlemen. John Harvie, the king's attorney, informed the court that Peter, a negro man, with force and arms had feloniously murdered Sarah Reid. Peter was led to the bar by James Nevill, the sheriff. He confessed his guilt, and said he had nothing further to say. He was condemned to be hung.

Sarah Reid was murdered, her body thrown into a creek, by a negro whom she reproved.
