Many Thousands Gone: 2 enslaved persons; 116a6 Barbara Harry 116b6 Dinah (pg 116 par 2) But beyond the dehumanizing affronts, there were the grotesque mutilations. in 1707 "King" Carter requested court permission to chop off the toes of "two Incorrigible negroes . . . named Barbara Harry (and); Dinah." County officials readily granted him "full power to dismember," a penalty applied to white men only for the most heinous crimes. It was neither the last time Carter would so act nor the harshest penalty Chesapeake slaves would be assessed in the planters' campaign to terrorize their human property. 1733 Inventory of Robert King Carter's Estate: More than 347 enslaved persons named, sometimes with age, family relationships, or occupation.
