Saul Matthews spied for the Continental Army, during American Revolutionary War. He spied on the British, obtaining valuable information for the revolution. As a result of this, he was given his full freedom from slavery by the Virginia legislature in 1792: “In consideration of many very essential services rendered to this Commonwealth during the late war … full liberty and freedom … as if he was born free.”
