In Alabama Gen. Reg. Sept, 1962, Vol. IV #3, p. 144 I found an entry about Mobile. It listed Carpenter, John Dew, A.B. merchant-Mobile., 1843, Eutaw; s. Jubal Carpenter; b. Dec. Dec. 29, 1822; Cotton Factor and Commission Merchant. I would like to know more about these entries, but I don't know where to look. Is there a book of cotton factors from the time period?
