Tennessee Claims Index |
|
|
Many thanks to Carol White
Tennessee Southern Claims Index - This index lists Tennesseans who filed
claims with the Southern Claims Commission from 1871 to 1873. These
3,929 Tennesseans claimed their property had been taken by United States
military personnel for use in the Civil War. The claim files include
interesting detail about people and about the Civil War period in
Tennessee. Each claimant was required to describe his losses in detail,
and to prove his loyalty to the Union. Witnesses gave testimony in
support of his allegations. The paperwork in the files is often
extensive.
All of the Southern Claims Commission files are located at the National
Archives, but the disallowed and barred claim files have been
microfilmed and are also available at the Tennessee State Library and
Archives. Allowed claim files are available only by consulting the
National Archives.
This index is based on volume 55 of Record Group No. 56, General Records
of the Department of the Treasury, at the National Archives. It is
duplicated on National Archives microcopy M-87, reel 13. The indication
as to whether the claim was allowed, disallowed, or barred is based on
the book Southern Loyalists in the Civil War : the Southern Claims
Commission by Gary B. Mills (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co.,
1994).
If you wish to order a copy of a barred or disallowed claim file, e-mail
the Tennessee State Library and Archives and request a price quote. The
cost will depend on the length of the file. Due to the number of
requests received daily, they ask that you only submit one request at a
time for a single record.
