REGISTER OF NEGROS AND MULATTOES
Jefferson County Courthouse, Auditors Office
The 1850 Indiana Constitution, Article XIII's main purpose was that "No negro or mulatto shall come into the State, after the adoption of this Constitution." After the adoption of the Constitution the legislature passed a statute to enforce this Article. Approved on June 18, 1852 the statute outlawed "Negroes" from coming into the state, instructed the county clerks to notify all "Negroes" who were residents before November 1, 1851 to register, and ordered the creation of a register of "negroes and mulattoes". It also gave power to clerks to subpoena witnesses and to issue certificates attesting to the registration of legal residents.
