They worshipped together in the same church.
Mr.Young never was known to flog one of his slaves or sell one.

He fed and clothed them well, and never over-worked them.

He allowed each family a small house to themselves with a little garden spot, whereon to raise their own vegetables; and a part of the day on Saturdays was allowed them to cultivate it.
In process of time he became deeply involved in debt by endorsing notes, and his property was all advertised to be sold by the sheriff at public auction.

It consisted in slaves, many of whom were his brothers and sisters in the church.
On the day of sale there were slave traders and speculators on the ground to buy.

The slaves were offered on the auction block one after another, until they were all sold before their old master's face.
