Title
James Robinson's Claim to the Southern Claims Commission
Description
In order to receive payment for damages to his property sustained during the war, James Robinson filed a claim with the Southern Claims Commission (SCC). In addition to providing proof of damages a large part of receiving compensation was proving that you supported the Union during the war.
This claim shows testimony from AM Compton, one of James' white neighbors, who asserts that James is known as a "Union man."
Though he reported $2,608 in damages, Robinson was only approved for $1,249 from the SCC.
