Luna

Luna was an enslaved woman who was owned by University of Mississippi Chancellor Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard. It is likely that Luna was among the two enslaved women–aged 35 and 30–Chancellor Barnard claimed in the 1860 slave schedules.

Her name is documented with Jane and attached to Barnard in records from his time at the University of Alabama cited by Alfred Brophy in his book on the subject.
