Abstract:

Card indices to “Pardon Dockets” (Series 95). The cards in this series fall into four parts. The first part, (circa 1860-1930), is arranged alphabetically by last name of the person petitioning for a pardon, and provides date heard and volume and page reference to pardon dockets. The second part (circa 1837-1937) is arranged chronologically by date heard and thereunder alphabetically by last name of petitioner also providing volume and page references to the pardon dockets. The third part (circa 1935-1970) is also arranged alphabetically by last name of petitioner giving date pardon was heard and date pardon denied or pardoned. Unlike the first two parts, these cards do not provide direct reference to the dockets. The fourth part (2011/002; 1922-1997) is arranged alphabetically by last name of petitioner.
