Biography

US Black Heritage Project
Dock Finlayson is a part of US Black heritage.

Dock was born about 1861. He is the son of Mandy Finlayson. He was enslaved by John Finlayson (1810-1865) on Glendower Plantation in Jefferson County, Florida. Finlayson is being used as his last name at birth, until his actual name can be determined.

In his will dated 23 Feb 1865, John Finlayson (1810-1865) bequeathed a large number of slaves to his wife, Augustine Florida (Shehee) Finlayson (1826-1882), and children. Dock was bequeathed to his wife, listed as A. Florida in the chart on the Glendower Plantation in Jefferson County, Florida page.[1]

Dock was listed in the probate appraisement paperwork in 1865, as being 4 years old and having a value of $400.[2]
