The Maryland Missions in 1765 - In 1765, Fr. George Hunter SJ compiled a survey of the Jesuit missions in Maryland that accounted for 192 enslaved persons. Missions listed include St. Inigoes, Newtown, Port Tobacco, Deer Creek, and Bohemia. Hunter recorded the annual income of each mission earned from enslaved labor and tenants, and in each instance, enslaved people generated more income than the tenants. Hunter did not list enslaved persons by name. [GSA64]
