Although they were said to be free, these African Americans were still subject to being captured and sold into slavery as a consequence of not registering. This volume offers a transcribed copy of over 500 registrations made during the years 1803-1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author also includes several appendices, with the first four providing free African American heads of households for the decennial years 1810-1840. Appendix E gives a list of Clerks of the Court, including the years in which they held the position, as well as a list of the Justices of the Peace, followed by Appendix F which visually demonstrates the number of registrations in five-year intervals. The final appendix illustrates the evolution of surrounding counties and the dates of their formation. A full-name index is used to conclude this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrances Holloway Wynne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(1983), 2026, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 234 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788427633\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e101-W2763\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Wynne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0788427636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780788427633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heritage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Frances Wynne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001971187967,"sku":"9780788427633","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/register-of-free-negroes-and-frances-wynne-9780788427633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
