“Who's Who” in the Letters to James Carmichael & Son

This document lists every person mentioned in the letters of the Carmichael Collection along with some biographical information. While some names are clearly defined by neat handwriting and a complete signature, others are not as easy to decipher. Various Web sites, consulted to determine a full or more accurate version of a name, are listed under sources.

One difficulty in compiling this list is that so many of the people mentioned in the letters are referred to only by first names or remain nameless. For example, a slave owner might refer to a sick slave as “a man” or “a woman.” One of our goals is to make these nameless people, primarily from the enslaved African-American community, more accessible and easier to define for the search engine. The standard practice for libraries is to deem an unknown individual as [s.n.] which is latin for sine nomine. When this was applied to our Master List of Personal Names, there were ten pages of [s.n.]'s. This did not seem particularly helpful to the researcher or for us when entering names into the metadata list. Consequently, the [s.n.]'s were further analyzed and assigned categories. For example, if it was determined that the letter writer was describing an enslaved person, the individual was then entered into the authority list as a slave. If the letter writer referred to this person as a boy and then slave, boy was entered. Categories include boy, girl, child, man, woman, and if no gender was given, then slave, [s.n.] was used.
