Two enslaved people are allowed to marry.

After Sebastian, an enslaved man in Mrs. Wait’s household, expresses the wish to marry Jane, an enslaved woman in Mrs. Thair’s household, Mrs. Thair insists, “that Sebastian should have one day in six for the support of Jane, his intended wife, and her children, if it should please God to give her any.” Mrs. Wait complains that the demand is excessive, and appeals the court. Judge Samuel Sewall then adjusts the demand to five pounds per year, and the marriage, presumably, takes place.
