EMANCIPATIONS

The following is a list of emancipations registered in the St. Louis Circuit Court, 1817-1865. The list was compiled by Jefferson National Expansion Memorial historian Bob Moore and Dr. Kris Zapalac from a thorough examination of the Circuit Court Record Books at the St. Louis Civil Courts Building at Tucker and Market Streets, and the examination of papers at the Missouri Historical Society. The location of the original listing in the Circuit Court Record Books is noted by two numbers (example, 24:230). The first number is the Circuit Court book number, the second is the page number in that book. {MOHIS} denotes the use of papers in the collection of the archives of the Missouri Historical Society. Other collections and sources used are noted in the individual cases.
