Biography

Chloe is mentioned in 18341217WHS_FMS. We believe this is Chloe Salware, a manumitted slave from SSS's household. This makes sense because in this letter WHS says "your letter came just after I had left Orange County when I might have
made the arrangement you desire concerning Chloes little girl. I can yet do it perhaps if you still remain
of opinion that it is best, but it will be at great inconvenience. The river is closed now as far as Catskill 
and the steamboat ascends no farther than Redhook. It will not be possible for me to leave ^Albany^ before
sometime in January and then the river will be closed as low as New Burgh so that she will have
to go up by land in the stage from Goshen. I cannot very conveniently go from Albany to Goshen to take
her and the prejudice against colored people is so great that we can hardly hope to find any person
willing to take charge of her as a passenger. Under these circumstances I do not readily see how we will
be able to get her to Auburn before the spring opens when an arrangement can more easily be made to 
have her safely brought and delivered to us."

We believe that FMS wanted Chloe's daughter, Mary Coe, to come and live with them. 

According to Town of Warwick Slave Birth and Manumission records, Mary Coe was born in 1819 and would have been 15 at this point.
