1840 Will of Frances Acra (unmarried, female); Frances transfered her interest in Rachel, Alce and Jo to her sisters Polly Acra and Jane Acra. She clarifies that these three enslaved people were purchased jointly from the estate of their father in Virginia, though Jo did not appear in the inventory of William Acra's estate. It's possible he was born to one of the enslved women after the inventory was taken.
