UNIDENTIFIED IN

An child was found on August 8, 1989 in Barren County, Kentucky. The body was found inside a blue suitcase on the shore along Barren River Lake in Glasgow. The child had been deceased for several months.

An anthropological assessment suggests that the remains are a young child, 2-3 years old. The gender cannot be determined.

The image featured is a facial reconstruction completed by a NCMEC Forensic Artist and depict what the child may have looked like in life. Since the child's s*x could not be determined, one image depicts the child as male and the other image as female.

Please contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST with any information that could help identify them.

In 1793, the Virginia General Assembly passed a law requiring that all free Black people “be registered and numbered in a book to be kept by the town clerk, which shall specify age, name, color, status and by whom, and in what court emancipated.” The process was extended to localities in 1803. In 1834, the General Assembly added a requirement that each person be specified by marks or scars and the instrument of emancipation, whether by deed or will, be recorded. Registration language and process varied across the localities, thus the information in each register may differ, but generally speaking these registers document both free born and formerly enslaved people throughout Virginia.

The Library of Virginia, through a grant from the NHPRC, provides digital access to records that document some of the lived experiences of enslaved and free Black people in the Library of Virginia’s collections. Please help improve the discoverability of these sources by transcribing one of the project's many record types, registers of free Black people.

You can sign up to transcribe documents or build an index of names via the Virginia Untold project at https://fromthepage.com/lva/virginia-untold-free-registers-indexing-set
