Servitude & Emancipation Records - IL

This database includes more than 2000 transactions found in governmental
records involving the servitude and emancipation of Africans and,
occasionally, Indians in the French and English eras of colonial Illinois
(1722-1790) and African-Americans in the American period of Illinois
(1790-1863). The Archives extracted the names of servants, slaves, or free
persons and masters, witnesses, or related parties from selected governmental
records to produce this database.
