S minister to Hayti, was born a slave to Capt. Aaron Anthony, chief agent of tlie estate of Col. Edward Lloyd, m Talbot county, Md. His father was of white and his mother of brown complexion. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but from a re- mark in his hearing by the daughter of Capt. An- thony, he thinks it w...as in February, 1817. Sepa- rated from his mother in infancy he was placed with his grandmother to be reared with other slave chil- dren, till five or six years old, when he was removed from her log-cabin uear Hillsborough, to the home of Capt. Anthony on the Lloyd estate in the county of his Ijirth. Here he remained until he was eiirht years old, seeing a great deal during his stay of the hardships and cruelties incident to the condition of slavery. Much of the liarsh treatment, it seems, was due to the bad temper of the colored woman who had ehai-ge of him.
