Excerpt from record
"
I
have
delivered
one
Bounty
this
month
of
$289.50
also
many
for
Commutation
of
Rations
amounting
to
$58.25
and
$48.25
respectively
.
I
have also
paid
John
Mathews
the
last
sent
due
to him from
Osborn
and
Dromgoogle
the
amt
being
$94.50
. The
enforcement
of the
landlords
lien
upon
crops
in
Rutherford
Co
. will
cause
considerable
distress
among
the
Freemen
.
Quite
a
number
of
men
without
means
have
rented
land
at a
high
figure
and
sub
let
it
to
Col'd
men
for a
part
of the
Crop
and in
many
cases
the
entire
crop
will
scarcely
pay
the
rent
. This the
landowner
can
levy
upon
and this
deprive
the
laborer
of the
lease
reward
for his
labor.
