Caesar, an African American man residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, was enslaved by a Captain Williams. Caesar was known to the local African American community as a witch doctor or conjurer, and enslaved individuals went to him to get medicines or for him to perform rituals for them. In 1779 an enslaved woman named Jane stated that she went to Caesar to get a folk medicine contraceptive from him. It does not appear that Caesar was ever punished for practicing ritual magic. Any further information regarding this individual has not been located.
