"A 1648 deed included a provision for a Negro woman and all her increase(which for future time shall be born of her body). In 1652, a Negro girl was sold to H. Armstreadinger and his heirs....forever with all her increase both male and female. A year later, William Whittington sold John Pott one Negro girl named Jowan; aged about ten years and with her issue and produce during her (or either of them) for thier life time. And their successors forever."-A DIFFERENT MIRROR, BY RONALD TAKAKI
