Hinds v. Brazealle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hinds v. Brazealle ''Hinds v. Brazealle'' (1838) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of Mississippi, which denied the legality in Mississippi of deeds of manumission executed by Elisha Brazealle, a Mississippi resident, in Ohio to free a slave woman and their son. Hinds ruled that Brazealle was trying to evade Mississippi law against manumissions except when authorized by the state legislature, and the actions were invalid. Both the mother and son were declared legally still slaves in Mississippi, and the son was prohibited from inheriting his father's estate, as Brazealle had left it all to him. ==Background== In 1826 Elisha Brazealle traveled from Mississippi to Ohio with a female slave and their mulatto son John Munroe Brazealle. He intended to emancipate both the woman and his son and return with them to Mississippi. During their stay in Ohio, Elisha executed a deed of emancipation for the mother and son, and returned to his residence in Jefferson County, Mississippi. In his will, Elisha reiterated his execution of emancipation for the two and left all of his property to his son John Munroe Brazealle. After his executors took charge of his estate, his relatives contested the will. They claimed that John Munroe Brazealle was still a slave and that slaves could not inherit property.
