Editor’s note: This rare Civil War document is part of the Capt. James M. Moore Papers of the Adjutant General Collection, Missouri State Archives. It documents white and black families who received federal aid at a Union post in the Ozarks. All black refugees are listed with surnames suggesting that perhaps, in their first encounter with the northern military bureaucracy, this was the event in time that caused some of these blacks to assume a surname in order to receive federal aid. Many blacks assumed names of former owners and others took surnames during post-war marriage ceremonies. It seems unlikely that this many blacks would have appeared in Cassville in April, 1865, already having surnames.
