A remarkable record of over 262 named Black individuals, both enslaved and free, living in Plymouth, North Carolina during the Civil War. Each person is listed by name with their gender, "Names of Owners" (with many being listed as "free"), the residence of the enslaver, and a column for additional remarks. Four sheets have been affixed together and the full length of both sides is consumed listing 232 individuals. The additional leaf continues the enumeration with the recto recording numbers 233 through 262. The verso lists 9 unnumbered individuals, however, a loss to the corner removes some of the names. 

Eastern North Carolina was the site of the 1862 Burnside Expedition which saw 3,000 Federal soldiers in Plymouth and a site of enlistment for the Union. Plymouth was also the site of the Battle of Plymouth in April 1864, a significant ironclad battle. Undated, it is unclear when exactly the document was compiled. Additionally, it is a point for further research to positively identify Brig. General Martin.
