MAUNSEL WHITE PAPERS, #2234, 1802-1912
White and his son were merchants and planters of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Included in
the papers are a list of slave children and their mothers (ca. 1857); an account book that emphasizes rewards and incentives rather than punishment
in the management of slaves and includes clothing distribution records, lists of slaves
segregated by sex and listed by name, and, occasionally, by occupation, and a series of
accounts showing that slaves were paid for Sunday work and additional assignments (1833-
1843); and a record of slave marriages (1837-1842). Microfilm available.
