TUESDAY, FEB. 19, 4 PM PHILIP R. SEITZ Tales of Enslavement: New Research from Cliveden and the Chew Family Papers Papers from the basement, attic, and closets of Cliveden are providing new details about the history of slavery in the Mid-Atlantic region. In this illustrated lecture, Philip R. Seitz, curator of history at Cliveden of the National Trust in Phildelphia, will recount several slave stories as conveyed in the Chew papers, including that of a Homewood maidservant named Charity, who was brought to Cliveden in 1814 by Harriet Chew when she separated from Charles Carroll Jr. The Chew and Carroll papers contain a string of letters that debate who had custody of Charity, and reveal attempts to move her back to Maryland to avoid Pennsylvania's abolition laws.
