Notes:

The CMSR is incomplete as it does not include the enlistment form and declaration of recruit statement. There was another James aka Jim Taylor in the same regiment and their records were mistakenly intermingled. The USCT Enlistment form for James Taylor is actually in Jim Taylor’s CMSR. It should be noted the Jim Taylor CMSR contains inaccuracies as well i.e. James Taylor’s enlistment date in the slave compensation claim application.

Enslaver Notes:

The Seaton family originated in Virginia but settled in Kentucky and Pennsylvania in the early 1800’s. The Kentucky branch founded the hamlet of Seatonville in Jefferson County and a fair number are buried in the Seaton Mills Family Cemetery in Seatonville.

Kenner Seaton died in 1872 so 1870 is the last census record for him.

Compensation Information

Compensation Applied? No Compensation Received? No

Note: The Lincoln Administration offered compensation of $300 to enslavers in Kentucky and other Union states where slavery was still legal for each of their enslaved men that joined the Union Army. However to be eligible, they had to prove ownership of the soldier and have sworn testimony from others that they were loyal to the Union. Many applied, but were not approved for compensation payments.
