[Footnote 36:  In 1760 there were both African and Pawnee slaves in Detroit, 96 of them in 1773 and 175 in 1782.  The usual effort to have slavery legalized was made in 1773.  There were seventeen slaves in Detroit in 1810 held by virtue of the exceptions made under the British rule prior to the ratification of Jay’s treaty.  Advertisements of runaway slaves appeared in Detroit papers as late as 1827.  Furthermore, there were thirty-two slaves in Michigan in 1830 but by 1836 all had died or had been manumitted.—­See Farmer, History of Detroit and Michigan, I, p. 344.]
