Pembroke bought from Jacob Grove, 1854

The Purchase of Pembroke.

Stephen Pembroke, the slave of Jacob H. Grove, Esq. of Sharpsburg, was purchased from his master last week for the sum of $1000, and taken back to New York. The money was raised through the efforts of Pembroke’s brother, who is a Clergyman of some standing among the colored folks of New York. Pembroke’s two sons, the property of Capt. David Smith, of Sharpsburg, were sold to a lumber merchant in North Carolina, and are now employed in a cypress shingle factory.
