Dick, Cassy, Gandy, Betsey, Maloina, Andra, and Lucy

This post is part of an ongoing project to record names of enslaved people of Greene County, Georgia I find in historical records. 

Shiloh Baptist Church Minute Extracts 

Shiloh, 9th December 1843. 

Church met in conference, Bro. J. Harris moderator. Opened a door for the reception of members, none came forward. Called for the report of the committee as a reference from last conference. Heard from Bro. Moncrief what information he had gained and after some remarks, the case was laid over until next conference. The same committee continued with the addition of Bro. J. Wilson. The member called for business when Bro. Moncrief preferred charges against Dick, servant to Robert Hobbs viz drunkenness, lying and whipping his wife. The charges being fully sustained he was excluded from the privileges of the church. In the conclusion Cassy, servant girl to Joel Early came forward and related as we believe an experience of grace and was received into the fellowship of the church. No other business conference, adjourned.

Doctor R. Malone, church clerk informed by Bro. Moncrief that letters of dismission were granted to Brethren Ben Cut---- and Gandy, servant to T. G. Janes and to sisters Betsey, Maloina, Andra and Lucy, servant girls to Do without any record being made at the black conference of November 1843.
