Title A name given to the resource Lynchburg Free Negro Registry 1805-1862 Description An account of the resource Many of the individuals named in freedom documents can be found listed in county/city Free Negro Registries. Though these registration requirements were antithetical to liberty and a restriction on the freedom of movement for free African Americans of the time, this documentation now enables historians, genealogists and researchers to follow the lives of freedmen through the years. Many manumitted individuals were freed with only a first name listed in the freedom document, but when registered a first and last name can be found, which is very beneficial for researchers today. Most of these registries start on a page number other than "1" as the previous pages are either blank, missing or have some notes or writing that do not include any information regarding the freedmen of the locality. We have included all pertinent pages we were able to obtain. Some jurisdictions kept much more detailed records than others, while there were also differences in population totals of freedpeople from one locality to the next. It should be noted that historians have surmised that only some lesser percentage of all freedpeople in a jurisdiction ever registered. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/72439/archive/files/65cfc01779664bb3fa58d104a8f479aa.pdf?Expires=1784764800&Signature=IsXAlE10IYqloIrnGpMHmIzW2zm4iEqJ6-DK3jy87-ooq7Y8VQiwWrTCAW4hFOW-4IWt4cV3oWvp9BAe3pDBG9o7LoaBZ39b9KU07VlPKQvXO7OVoE%7E1J1KldB%7EsygKM09zrDDtXjOuIbypDjozZceQ2sO4LkHImsg8IpnioPfnM1xPZQhq53xqRMTb-BlvyJeMqyOIS9OVvdUK2k6Rn4QnxMhS5k3wTqu58o8l57s9%7E8vuw5wjb6CmgzA6J7A2BnQdT0UcUpS4KKeInsFCrXBhFKycf4ZQJ4tI3n9mFAr22BY4ZhmJ7LPDUQE%7Et0mvVqhIhRvbIZY2eyUOrdg89Cw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 2d68a1d616a089e24ca42433d238b756 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/72439/archive/files/837867c7280f88086fdc834f193b4cd2.pdf?Expires=1784764800&Signature=IrkM3TiTRSPHtrwYfez%7EvUyZIzRkKgiSLSEuGg1o6xBh0oHClk28P%7EB-lG3b6E4sye16lE02lMioVILxWpxuf6ll80OzPtcewec-eYSopEYhwjeObzj8%7EKsdQo5rqBPA3Fy8QQ2%7Ejeg3StpGiEFKi4FFNvCPYI4meN9JUGbGLzMI38%7EaIp69FifAk7qmWiAIBoCyMSGui88MbkX0EDZg08kleZLrE1pkfe51nud0Iw%7EAd6wZ87F2xWF5BSD9zlEoBBzMaJoGmGFr4mjuzsEwW9h9CF2qkX2qCsn5eaxlLPEZAui0-dzC2uYSm7CA5Sy9Uhr6ev5I7L3sLGRioqz7jA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 4bc7c0b7ef5045636de9f9ff1dca41cf https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/72439/archive/files/a9bcade30f0b1803f30dfc03dd90a8fa.jpg?Expires=1784764800&Signature=I3CxBxxdc5Ba7PC1hpDfwt3w6yCoz7tqUMJ0-ja8l91QVJIVsKFNK9A8-rY5NT%7EoV6lglH24--g2AkN0h7pMM4cVzQJbgGJPR%7Ea2xcGB1eX9bQAQaFpRmn8V-bIwABaTsJLHQDjjDI4NS9DyHGg5IDeWwTrJ-UFo%7EPekPBbUeHeFpnx6xMEMX77cwxk19WbfVhAcjHuoeoz2nfETE9r3i42J5ZeLsBldYYa3NZLCTuRR6SSAQ0fyZccnlczYk9ZsAeV9t5AHJR6KXWI5OuaCkJlnWW2oD-msQHGiqVDzYdjlqSFl8cK4f77xQySPwGVRwKLm45QNtZvwRs9srg1QjA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM ac54baf9f467b0327f60ffeb859b3f6a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
