Prince Wilson 1923 Record

Why This Document Matters

A decade after his 1912 mortgage record, this 1923 ledger proves the long-term economic stability of Prince Wilson. This page tracks his purchases and payments, providing evidence of how a Black landowning family managed their household economy during the post-WWI era. It is more than just numbers; it is a “residence record” that confirms the Wilson family remained a cornerstone of the Black Mingo community, successfully navigating land and credit through a decade of intense change.
