            Dr. James R. Johnson, manager, history-genealogy department, Memphis Public Library and Information Center, generously allowed the present compiler to use the microfilmed records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands available in his department. Without the loan of these materials this publication would not have been possible. As always, Dr. Johnson's staff contributed to the compiler’s successful use of the varied research materials available in this department of the Memphis library.
