Quote from the original source document :

This original 1740 item is actually two documents written on opposite sides of the same sheet of paper, relating to the sale of the Huntington, New York property of the late John Scidmore. The April 16th document, which is lightly written, is a bond under which Joseph Scidmore agrees to pay Thomas Scidmore (both residing in Huntington, NY), "one hundred pounds current money of the colony." The other side of this document announces an auction of the estate of John Scidmore, deceased.

This is a wonderful, original document dated 1772, Huntington, New York; where Joseph Scidmore has granted to his son Issac Scidmore his servant woman named Cate, with two of her children, Absalom and Tury to use as he sees fit. Signed by Joseph Scidmore, John Stratton and Ebenezer Smith. Document is 8x12, folds, minor age toning, else in fine condition.
New York had had the largest colonial slave population north of Maryland. From about 2,000 in 1698, the number of the colony's black slaves swelled to more than 9,000 adults by 1746 and 13,000 by 1756. Between 1732 and 1754, black slaves accounted for more than 35 percent of the total immigration through the port of New York. And that doesn't count the many illegal cargoes of Africans unloaded all along the convoluted coast of Long Island to avoid the tariff duties on slaves. In 1756, slaves made up about 25 percent of the populations of Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York, and Westchester counties.
Free blacks lived in New York at risk of enslavement. The colonial courts ruled that if a white person claimed his black employee was a slave, the burden was on the black person to prove he was not. Blacks on the street who could give no plausible account of their movements or proof of their freedom often were picked up by the authorities and jailed on suspicion of being runaway slaves. Local authorities had all but unlimited power in such cases
Slavery existed in Huntington,Long Island until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Farmers relied on slave labor for help in the fields and it was a mark of status to have black slaves as domestic servants, but rarely did a person own more than a few slaves. For example, according to a 1755 census, t were 81 slaves belonging to 35 families in Huntington. Unlike the South, the economy was not heavily dependent on slave labor. The New York State Legislature passed an act in 1799 allowing for the gradual abolition of slavery.
Bob Vornlocker Note - This same Cate is given to Joseph's mother in his father' John's will. This document was written about six months after Joseph's will. In an earlier will he had left Cate to his wife.
