Please be advised that this index contains terminology that may be offensive or harmful to individuals investigating these records. When State Archives staff originally created this index, they took descriptions for ancestral, racial, ethnic, and gender identity directly from the court papers of the era in which they were created. The index therefore includes terms that are considered archaic, offensive, and inappropriate to use in modern times.
