Jane, an African American woman residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, was enslaved by Thomas Lee. In 1779 she testified before a local freeholders court stating that she had previously consulted another enslaved person, a witch doctor named Caesar, who had given her a medicinal substance which was supposed to prevent her from having children. By seeking out birth control in spite of what her enslaver might was wished, Jane resisted the circumstances of her enslavement and took back agency for herself. Thomas Lee and his family later moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee, where Lee died in 1816. In his will, he bequeathed an enslaved woman named Jane to his wife Mary Lee. Any further records regarding this individual have not been located.
