Appendix 6: Chew 's Camden City Directory 1872

 

Prior to the publication of a Camden County Residents' Directory, the City of Camden published a directory every few years for use by its residents and merchants. I selected Chew's Camden City Directory of 1872, available at the library of the Camden County Historical Society, in order to determine if any of the confirmed veterans might be alive and living in Camden during the postwar period. As a rule, non-white individuals were listed as "colored" to distinguish them from white residents of the same name or location. I must also greatfully acknowledge the assistance of Gail Greenberg, Camden County Historian, in putting together this list, as we labored together over the misspelling and similarities of names.
