See also the Reaves publication: North Carolina Freedman's Savings and Trust Company
Records. Raleigh, NC: North Carolina Genealogical Society, 1992. Call # 929.3756 N. Bill
Reaves, abstractor and Beverly Tetterton, editor. The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company,
or the Freedman's Bank as it is universally called, was chartered on March 3, 1865, as an
outgrowth of military saving banks which had been established elsewhere for Black Union
troops who needed a place to deposit their wages and bounty money. Congress was persuaded
to establish a bank so former slaves could learn the value of thrift and savings. In North
Carolina, there were three branches of the Freedman's Bank. These were located in New Bern,
Raleigh and Wilmington. Over 8,600 records of individual surnames survive. The majority are
freedmen and their family members, but occasionally there are white depositors and church
and social club deposits.
