Slave Owners Ledger

Slave Owners Ledger – 1837-1842

The following list of Lowndes County slaveholders is taken from the original county ledger in the Billups-Garth Archives of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library. The ledger was originally the property of the Lowndes County department of archives and history, but disappeared before the transfer of the department’s records to the public library. The ledger was purchased by the public library from an antiques dealer in Biloxi, Mississippi, with generous assistance from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Sciences “Tales from the Crypt” class, who donated a portion of their annual proceeds for the endeavor.
