Alfred

Alfred is listed in the NARA “Confederate Slave Payrolls”record for Oxford from Oct. – Dec. 1862 found on: Slave Rolls Project | A Digital Project in Progress | Dr. Adam Domby (adamhdomby.com) under the name of enslaver W.F. Burton.  Alfred was an enslaved laborer working for the Confederate Army at the “University Hospital at Oxford, MS”

The records show that W.F. Burton was paid $15.33 for Alfred’s labor of 23 days from Oct 1 to Oct 23, 1862.  They also show “Reported for 3 days only-$2.00” indicating that Burton may also have permitted Alfred to earn a small amount of his own money on the side.
