Enslaved People & Wenham

by Robert O. Corcoran

Overview

In the mid-18th century, 1 in 17 of the residents of Wenham, Massachusetts was enslaved. Prior to the Revolutionary War, enslavement was commonplace throughout Essex County -- but most histories of the town have largely overlooked the phenomenon. Enslaved People & Wenham documents Wenham's enslaved population and explores where they lived, worked, worshiped and are thought to be buried.
