content: The two volumes of registers of claims forwarded by the claims agent, May 1866–January 1872, 1 (74) and 2 (75), are numbered and arranged in chronological order. The entries give the date the claim was forwarded, the name of the claimant, and the nature of the claims and the disposition of the claim. These registers were apparently begun by the subassistant commissioner at Huntsville and continued by the claims agent at Huntsville. Some of the names in volume 2 (79) of the claims allowed are also in volume 2 (75) of the claims forwarded.
