Sara Whitford Leave a Comment

Apprentice Bonds for Free People of Color in Craven County, North Carolina (1769-1820)

Sara Whitford Leave a Comment

I originally published this list at CoastalCarolinaIndians.com due to the fact that Indians were often listed in census records as "Other Free." Anyone listed as "other free" or "free person of color" could be black, Indian, or any combination of other-than-white ethnicities, including mixed race with white.
