The black servant, John Casor offered Johnson work, and he signed a term of indenture to the planter and left when done. Johnson sued Casor in the Northampton Court in 1654 for the return of Casor. The court initially found in favor of Parker, but Johnson appealed. In 1655.
The court reversed its ruling. Finding that Anthony Johnson a Negro, still "owned" John Casor, a black man, the court ordered that he be returned with the court dues paid by Robert Parker. This made Anthony Johnson a Negro, the first legal American slave owner of a Negro.
This is the first time a judicial determination in the 13 Colonies holding that a person who had committed no crime could be held in servitude for life.
