Palmer Listing of Enslaved Persons

These listings were found in cases relating to the estate of James A. Palmer (d. 1847) of Clifton plantation, near Kilmarnock, Virginia.

Washington County, Tennessee Enslaved Persons

The 1860 U.S. Federal Census - Slave Schedules (Schedule 2) contains 953 slave entries, including age, gender, race (black or mulatto), owner and location. Many of these slaves were included by name (given name and master's surname) in the households of their owners on the regular census form. Those entries were then crossed out and notations added moving the entries to the Slave Schedules. See McAdams entries for 1860 above.
