Abstract
"I continue to think that in the 18th century W&M had a burial ground on its 330 acre campus and that it buried those it enslaved (and possibly its Indian students) there. We have no documentation of that, except several references to the College’s providing coffins.1 But those record no further expenses such as shrouds, transport to the grave, or digging the grave. I presume there would have been no such expenses since other of our enslaved would undertake such tasks as part of their job..."
