Amoret, an African American woman residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, was enslaved by Isaac Williams. Amoret might have been named after one of the main characters in English poet Edmund Spenser's 1590 epic The Faerie Queene. In 1768 Amoret came before the local freeholders court and gave a deposition in the trial of three enslaved men accused of killing Isaac Williams via poison. She testified specifically against Dick and Jacob, stating that she knew they had poison and that they had placed something with supposedly magical properties under Williams' door with the intention to harm him. Any further records regarding this individual have not been located.
