Campbell County was formed in 1781 from Bedford County.
An act passed by the Virginia legislature in 1803 required every free negro or mulatto to be registered and numbered in a
book to be kept by the county clerk.
Register of Free Negroes and Mulattoes, 1801-1850, of Campbell County lists the age, name, color, stature, marks or scars,
in what court the person was emancipated or whether the person was born free. Some clerks recorded additional information
not required by law. There is no index.
