Book Description
Excerpt from The "Poor Potter" Of Yorktown, Vol. 2: A Study of a Colonial Pottery Factory; Archaeology, Colonial National Historical Park Virginia The most conclusive evidence that slave labor was used at the Yorktown factory dates from 1760, after the complex had shut down. In that year one of Rogers' daughters brought a case to court in an attempt to claim part of her fathers estate. A letter from her attorney advised her that you will not have a right to any profits from the Pot house as you had no right to the Slaves. It is not possible to determine just how profitable the pottery making enterprise had been, but this letter implies that the business continued to make money for some time after Rogers died. We can at least conclude that Rogers would have employed as many as 30 slaves and servants in various jobs connected with the manu facture of ceramics.
