| Agreement with Freedment Oak Grove Plantation Source: Family Search |
The Agreement with Freedmen Contracts can provide vital information for any genealogist or family historian who is researching their family history. My family was held as slaves in East Feliciana and my search led me to this record that is published by Family Search. The plantation contract provides the name, age, gender and class of each person. Each of the individuals signing the contract couldn't write. Therefore they had to make the mark. The youngest person was a child ten-year-old. His name was Moses More. Please see the list of people below who signed the contract to work on Oak Grove Planation in 1867.
