There are 48 columns of information, six of which are transcribed here: name of the owner, improved acreage, unimproved acreage, cash value of the farm, value of farm implements and machinery, and value of livestock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda L.

According to the statute, county clerks were required to inscribe each freed man or woman by name, age, place of birth, residence, year arrived in Georgia, and occupation. While not all clerks performed their duties to the letter of the law, these source records contain vital identifying information for African-American Georgians long before the Civil War or the watershed 1870 U.S. census. The ensuing registers, varying in their completeness, survive for twenty-one Georgia counties. (By the way, the only way to emancipate a slave in Georgia was by an act of the legislature. Antebellum manumissions, though rare, were granted for unusual acts, such as defending an owner's property during a British incursion during the War of 1812, extinguishing a fire at the state capital, and other faithful service.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is a transcription of the free black registers for the Georgia counties of Appling, Camden, Clarke, Emanuel, Jones, Pulaski, and Wilkes Counties. Mr. Ports has arranged the contents of the record books in a series of tables, county by county and chronologically thereunder. A full-name index at the back of the volume provides for easy searching. Because the recording styles of the county clerks differ from one another, or from year to year, the author has provided an overview of the registers he found in each county, references to any gaps in the registers, handwriting irregularities or peculiarities, and so on. In addition to the required information, a few clerks recorded the registrant's height, weight, skin color, and name of their guardian. Persons of a historical mindset will appreciate Mr. Ports' inclusion, in the front matter, of the wording of salient Georgia laws from 1818 to 1835 that mandated the registration of free Negroes. These are followed by the Georgia manumission statutes enacted after 1798. Finally, since, in theory, the freedmen and women were required to register themselves every year after 1818, researchers will be able to track the whereabouts or disappearance of individuals over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael A.
