Freedmen's Bureau Labor Contracts, Berkeley County, SC Slaveholder Surnames Beginning with Letter "A"

Freedmen's Bureau labor contracts were some of the earliest records which listed former slaves with newly-chosen surnames. These records, which predate the 1870 census by several years, can provide clues for bridging the 1870 divide by connecting census records with surnames to plantation journals with first names only. AH Co-Administrator Alana Thevenet has transcribed labor contracts for Berkeley County, SC. Here you will find records for slaveholder surnames beginning with the letter "A."
