According to their website: http://www.freedmensbureau.com/ Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen,and Abandoned Lands often referred to as the Freedmen's Bureau, was established in the War Department by an act of March 3, 1865. The Bureau supervised all relief and educational activities relating to refugees and freedmen, including issuing rations, clothing and medicine. The Bureau also assumed custody of confiscated lands or property in the former Confederate States, border states, District of Columbia, and Indian Territory. The bureau records were created or maintained by bureau headquarters, the assistant commissioners and the state superintendents of education and included personnel records and a variety of standard reports concerning bureau programs and conditions in the states.
Marie, Can you tell me if this is a list of Negroes or were they both black and white? I see the name Dunn and my great grand mother was a Dunn before she married,and they all lived in the area in North Mississippi. I am trying to find my Dunn info. It is lost in the pile,so I must dig, Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marie Sellers-Hollinger" <mari@netins.net> To: <SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 7:40 PM Subject: [SELLERS] [MSAFRICANAMER] List of destitute Freedpeople transported from Charlotte, NC to Vaiden, MS/GEORGE SELLERS > I started to write LEAFSHAKER for a date, but down below it states UNDATED. > ANY IDEAS? > marie, iowa > > -----Original Message----- > From: Leafshaker@aol.com [mailto:Leafshaker@aol.com] > Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 6:12 PM > To: mari@netins.net > MSAFRICANAMER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [MSAFRICANAMER] List of destitute Freedpeople transported from > Charlotte, NC to Vaiden, MS > > > TRAVEL to VAIDEN, MISSISSIPPI from > CHARLOTTE, NC > > "List of destitute Freedpeople transported from Charlotte, NC to > Vaiden, Mississippi by W.
