Enslaved cobblers like Ned Haughton, Solomon, and Ishmael Harvey, Jr., manufactured shoes for the enslaved community in the Shoemaker's Shop. Each enslaved person was rationed one pair per year. Prior to Josiah Collins III's ownership, white cobblers like Abner Wooten and John Cortney were hired to make shoes. If you have any questions about this video, please comment below.

Somerset Place, once one of the largest plantations in antebellum North Carolina and now a representative state historic site, is open to the public Tuesday - Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is our aim to offer visitors a comprehensive social history exploring the family life of all former plantation residents: the enslaved community, plantation owners, and hired white and Black employees.
