C & O CANAL PAYROLL RECORDS CUMBERLAND DIVISION- RECORD GROUP #79
NATIONAL ARCHIVES II
JOE SCHWARTZ, RECORDS ARCHIVIST
8601 ADELPHI ROAD
COLLEGE PARK, MD

Being familiar with the names of the people in the area at the time, I realized as I 
transcribed these records, many of the names were incorrectly spelled.  I have chosen
to list the names as I found them, without correction.  If I detected the errors in the 
names - as ancestors, you should be able to do the same.  Be sure to keep that in mind
as you browse through this material.

Since the C & O Canal records have only survived in bits and pieces, that is the way
they must be presented here.  The earliest available Payroll Records start with March
1873.  Any changes will be noted with the effective date with the exception  of  the
"Monthly Bills Paid".  These were apparently bills presented by community people
for services rendered to the Canal and changed from month-to-month, many names 
appearing only once.
