Locust Grove Plantation Ledger, Locust Grove Plantation

Deeply Rooted

Ledger contains the names, marriages, births, and deaths of enslaved persons on a plantation which internal evidence suggests was Locust Grove Plantation in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Ledger also contains cotton harvest data for each enslaved person. Some pages include newspaper clippings discussing agricultural and domestic techniques and advice. The plantation was founded in 1777 under the name Mount Locust, and the name was changed by Samuel Postlethwait when he purchased the plantation. This item has been aggregated as part of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL)'s "Deeply Rooted: The Agricultural & Rural History of the American South" project.
