Note(s)
In the antebellum period, Callaway County was an area of relatively small single family land holdings; and correspondingly, slave forces were generally of modest size, averaging 4.8 slaves per master in 1850. Indeed, throughout the 1840s and 50s slavery in Callaway County was a healthy, viable and expanding institution.
