United States, Southern States, 33.346678, -84.1194341837This document is an 1837 list of black freemen and slaves captured by Creek Indians. The Creeks were likely in the service of the U.S. Army during the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), and the captives were probably African Seminoles and slaves taken from Seminole towns in Florida. For each person captured, information is provided regarding name, sex, age, height, place captured, by whom captured, date captured, owner's name and miscellaneous remarks. A note on the back of the roll chart, signed by Gen. Thomas S. Jesup, indicates that to prevent the Indians from killing the captives, they were encouraged to return them for a reward. The twenty dollar payment for each person returned was to be made by Captain Searle to the chiefs.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegcim007engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Creek Indian Manuscripts, box 01, folder 01, document 07.Creek IndiansFugitive slaves[Roll of] Negro[e]s [captured and returned to] citizens in the Indian country [for] reward to the Indian captors, 1837Text
