1833 will and inventory of William Carpenter, Sr: Ben and wife, Caroline, to be manumitted upon the death of Carpenter's wife, with many restrictions, concerning their "obedience" and behavior. Also to be given the house they occupied at the time (1833) which was located on the land of William H. Carpenter, Jr, along with the "service of their son", Ned. Caroline was valued at $50 in the inventory- lower value may be attributed to imminent freedom
