                  When the sun goes back and the first quail calls
                  Follow the drinking gourd
                  The old man is a waitin' for to carry you to freedom
                  Follow the drinking gourd

From Dena: A total of 175 Slaves were recorded in Bradley County, Arkansas on the 1860 Census. There is only one person's name mentioned as taking these census for the entire county which is that of W.Y. McCammon.

This census mentions the slave owner's name, the number of slaves, age, sex and color (B=Black, M=Mulatto), when you notice a line between one slave and another, this indicates the dwelling for this group of slaves has ended, and it also let's you know the number of slave houses that was on the property of the slave owner.

You will also notice that the page numbers are out of sequience, I am copying the census as it appears on Microfilm 653, Roll 53.
