What did dred Scott do with peter blow?
Dred Scott worked as a hostler at inn that the Blow family operated and then another they owned in Florence, Alabama from 1820 until 1831. It is probable that he handle stables/horses before and after, but I am not sure. Below is an excerpt from the book I referenced. Hope this helps. This is an excerpt from a book by William Lindsey McDonald who was a local historian in Florence, Alabama._______________A Walk Through the Past: People and Places of Florence and Lauderdale County, Alabama By William Lindsey McDonaldIn 1818, his owners, Peter and Elizabeth Blow, moved to Madison County, Alabama. In 1820 they moved again, this time to the new town of Florence to operate a hotel. In 1827, they established the Blow Inn at the intersection of West Tennessee and Pine Streets of Florence. The Blows sold the establishment in 1831, to Lucinda Pope for $2,000, and moved to St. Louis, Missouri. They sold their servant, Dred Scott, a year later to Dr. John Emerson, a military physician. Scott traveled with Dr. Emerson and lived with him in various times in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory. This became the basis for the famed Supreme Court Case which resulted in the Dred Scott Decision of February 1857. It is interesting that two sons of Peter Blow, Henry and Taylor Blow, assisted Dred Scott with the legal aspect of the long and extended court battles. These two brothers had grown up in the same household with Dred Scott. It was Taylor Blow who later purchased Dred Scott, his wife, and two daughters, and then arranged for their emancipation. _______________
