Historical Note
Prospect Hill Plantation was located in Jefferson County, Miss. In 1836 the original owner of the Prospect Hill Plantation, Isaac Ross, died, leaving his estate mainly for the benefit of his slaves. They were to be freed and given an opportunity to go to Liberia. Ross's family contested the will. The case remained in court twelve years, until 1847, when the court ruled in the slaves' favor. The plantation was reestablished in 1854 and was maintained by Isaac Ross Wade and his brother, B.H.
Scope and Content
Prospect Hill Plantation Collection consists of tenant contracts as well as business and personal correspondence of Isaac and B.H. Wade.
