Thus, Casor went to work for a man by the name of Robert Parker.
Despite this, Johnson eventually agreed to allow him to leave,
with pressure supposedly coming from Johnson's family who felt that Casor should be free.
Johnson ultimately won the case,
and not only did he get his servant back, but Casor became Johnson's slave for life as Johnson
had said he was.
One of Johnson's servants, John Casor who was brought over from Africa,
claimed he was under a“seaven or eight yeares” contract and that he would completed it.
Despite this, according to Casor, Johnson eventually agreed to allow him to leave,
with pressure supposedly coming from Johnson's family who felt that Casor should be free.
This daye Anthony Johnson made his complaint to the court against Mr. Robert Parker and
declared that hee deteyneth his servant John Casor under the pretence that said person was a free man.
Either Johnson changed his mind or he never said Casor could go, because he
soon filed a lawsuit against Parker claiming that Parker stole his servant, and that Casor was Johnson's for life and was not an indentured servant.
