Register of Claimants — Huntsville and Athens (Claims Agent)

Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

The single–volume register of claimants, June 1868–December 1871 (73), is arranged chronologically by date of receipt of voucher. The entries give the date the voucher was received; the claimant's name, company, and regiment; the amount due the claimant; the date the voucher was returned; the date the money was received; and the date the payment was made. The register was apparently begun by the subassistant commissioner at Huntsville and continued by the claims agent.
