Charlot Woosley.

She was a slave of Samuel Woosley [64764518] & Phoebe (Bailey) Woosley [64764598] (found on the 1850 Slave Schedule of Edmonson Co., KY as a 50 year old slave of Phoebe Woosley).

After Pheobe (Bailey) Woosley's death, there was a Bill of Sale, dated 29 January 1857 wherein the heirs of Samuel & Phoebe (Bailey Woosley) sold their claim to Charlotte to their brother, George W Woosley. The Bill of Sale was in the papers of one Thomas E Woosley - its current whereabouts are unknown. A transcription reads:

"Know all men by these presents that we the Heirs of Samuel and Pheba Woosley Dec'd having one slave Lot at their decease and there being a eleven original heirs and they agreeing to give George W. Woosley one of the heirs a bill of sale to the Black Woman Charlotta and to vest all the right and title in her for one hundred Dollars in equal parts paid by the said George W. Woosley which is nine dollars and ten cents to each heir in testimony whereof we affix our hand and seals this 29th day of January 1857."

Charlotte was then owned by George W Woosley [7644118] (found on the 1860 Slave Schedule of Edmonson Co., KY as a 69 year old slave of George W Woosley).

Known as "Aunt Lottie," she was emancipated after the Civil War. Being in her 80's, she stayed with the Woosley family that once owned her post-emancipation. Post-emancipation, a room for her was built onto the back of the Woosley house. Aunt Lottie spent the rest of her years with her former enslavers.

She died in March 1880 at the age of 100. The 1880 Mortality Schedule of Edmonson Co., KY lists her residence as the household of George W Woosley [7644118].

Aunt Lottie was buried in an unmarked grave. A headstone was placed in a circular grotto around the flagpole, a memorial to the unmarked graves in Mount Pleasant.
