Register of payments to overseers of abandoned children of slaves
Series Number
A3211
Summary
The volume includes records of payments made by the state treasurer for the maintenance of the children of slaves, a partial index (by name of city, village, or town) to an unidentified set of records, and records apparently dealing with prison construction work. The abandonment accounts include date and place of abandonment as well as name of child and birthdate. The records suffered severe burn damage so writing is often obscured and pages are incomplete.
