Register of Lands and Occupants (42) — Captain A. P. Ketchum's Records

Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

The register of lands and occupants is arranged first by geographic area, such as island or city, and thereunder alphabetically by surname of owner of a parcel of land. Some of the more important listings are: the amount of land being used, the number of freedmen working on the land, and the date that the land was restored. After Ketchum was recalled in February 1866 entries in this register continued to be recorded in the office of the Assistant Commissioner.
