Want Ads for Lost Relatives 1865 - 1867
Abstractions from The Colored Tennessean
Davidson County, Tennessee
by Sandra G. Craighead
© 1998
Reprinted with permission
The Colored Tennessean (later changed to The Tennessean), was publishedfrom January 1865
through early 1867 in Nashville, Tennessee. During that period, it was the only new:,paper in the state
of Tennessee owned and published by blacks for blacks.
Because the newspaper employed over two dozen agents to solicit subscriptions in six neighboring
states, the readership was widespread. The Colored Tennessean is a valuable resource not only for its
articles regarding such topics as slavery in the state of Kentucky and the activities of black political
conventioneers in N ashville, but also for tlte ads for il!formation regarding displacedfamily members.
The very nature of slavery and the ravages of the Civil War contributed to the separation of many
southern African A merican families from the early to mid- 1800s. In their searches, sometimes across
state lines, for lost parents, siblings, spouses, and children, many family members used the press as a
means for locating their loved ones. A II .four extant issues of the newspaper carried the little 2" x 2"
square boxes, .filled with small type, imploring readersfor any information which would lead to the
reunion offamilies. The following are abstracts of genealogical information taken from the ads in all
existing issues of the newspaper.

Sir.

With your indulgence, I will trouble you again, tuching the lot oflaw'
which Sam. Johnson, Colored, asked you to donate the Colored people

Greenville. The facts are these. The Freedsman's Bureau, has profTem
to the colored people of Greenville if they will procure a good title to a I
of ground and rear the frame of a house upon it, that they would ad van
the means to finish it. Sam. handed me the letter, over the signature
Col. R. Johnson,2 which contained your kind offer to the Freedme""
Sam. showed it to those who understood the matter. And it was decid
that without a title to the lot, the Bureau would give no aid. Sam was n--·
much discouraged. I told him I would write to you, again, and state fat
to you. The lot of land selected is situated thus. The Reble graveyard
located imediately in the corner, where Mrs. William's3 woodlot and t

Lasley field bound your land North, and West. It is small not more th::-,

Radicals have not met the expectations of the Freedmen, and they z..·
loosing confidence in them. I Send in letter a rough plot, of the situatio-It will not disfigure your plot of land a great deal. And if you can dona·
from one half, to one acre to the colored people of our town, please do so
If not please let me know the most reasonable terms upon which it can
