Previous Enslaver:
Enslaver Notes:

Since the listed enslaver, James Small, lived with his parents in 1850 and 1860, the census documents and slave schedules for those years are those of his father, George W. Small. Because James Small died in 1869, there are no census records for him in 1870 or 1880.

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.
