Research Notes
Proof of Immigrant Servant Status:
"Watts testified that George Hack always gave him strict order not to kill any hog but his own." (1)
Comments:
The fact that Hack gave Watts orders, probably means he was the servant. Further, it appears he was the butcher servant of Dr. Hack, identified in Christopher Calvert's deposition. That Watts was Mr. Hack's servant is clear in OB 1:48b-49b.
