Slave Badge from 1808 Ashepoo Neck Plantation

[muzik22]

I'm doing research for my father on a slave badge given to him. It's dated 1808 with "Ashepoo Neck Plantation" on top, apparently the slaves name "George" under that. It's shaped like a pyramid and has "cabin 17" on the back. Can you give me any history and/or anything on this?
Thank you.

You may consider checking out the University of South Carolina Library, as they were gifted 3 manuscripts from John Warren, owner of the Ashepoo Neck Plantation, which includes an 1865 contract form for freed persons. May find "George" on there, who knows.


"Three manuscripts, 22 July 1863, ca. 1863, and July 1865, of J[ohn] D. Warren (d. 1885), Walterboro, concern damage done to Warren's plantation on Ashepoo Neck by Confederate forces under the command of Maj. R.J. Jefford in 1862. In a letter of 22 July 1863 to Robert Chisholm, Warren offers advice on seeking payment for losses caused by military occupation and describes the devastation wrought on his own lands. An affidavit, ca. 1863, gives additional details about the damage done to Warren's property, including accusations of "killing my Cattle clandestinely." "At one time," Warren reported, "they went in my Cow pen and cut steaks out of the Cattle and turned them loose in that condition" in addition to pillaging the main house, breaking furniture, and razing several outbuildings. Warren removed his male Negroes for safety but the remaining women and children were "seized and forcibly removed and sent to Walterboro Jail". Also present is an 1865 contract form for freed persons, indicating provisions and crop disbursement."
