James Hoban and Slavery - Photo 8

This advertisement, published frequently in spring 1832 by the executors of James Hoban's estate, list two women, one of whom has a young child, and five young men ranging in ages between twelve and twenty-eight for sale. These eight individuals suggest that the 1830 census was inaccurate, and that Hoban remained a consistent slave owner until his death in 1831.
