I am a document trader and collector and recently purchased a muster roll/payroll of the U.S.A. Post Hospital in Charleston, S.C. during reconstruction (sometimes called the
Charleston occupation). The roll is dated October 31, 1867. This muster roll is unusually interesting because it also lists women - the only muster roll that I have ever seen that does.
I am very interested in corresponding with descendants of the nurses, cooks, matrons and patients listed on the roll. Please e-mail me directly at softdsign@aol.com
The roll is entitled: MUSTER ROLL OF STEWARD, WARDMASTR, COOKS, NURSES, MATRONS & DETACHED SOLDIERS, SICK IN THE USA POST HOSPITAL OF CHARLESTON, S.C. Army of the United States, from the thirty-first day of August, 1867, when last mustered, to the thirty-first day of October, 1867
Persons listed on the roll who were to receive pay had to sign for their pay and many of them could not write. An (X) after the following information indicates this his how the person so noted signed for his pay. Many of the names included interesting notations. I am transcribing below the most interesting notes. The names included are:
