From the Alabama Department of Archives and History Governor A. B. Moore Collection. Letters concerning the petition of several individuals concerning charges of manslaughter against an Elisha Hudson and Andrew B. Moore’s decision to pardon Elisha Hudson. One of the petitioners was Elisha Hudson’s employer, A. [J?]. Carlisle. Elisha Hudson was an overseer of slaves, and he was arrested after shooting an enslaved man from another plantation who was forbidden by both plantations’ owners from visiting the slaves of A. [J?] Carlisle. The man who was shot seemingly made many attempts to visit the plantation of A. [J?]. Carlisle, and he resisted when the plantation owners tried to “punish” him. An unspecified senator and an unspecified “representative” reportedly involved themselves with this case on Elisha Hudson’s behalf. The locations of the concerned plantations are unspecified.
