Evidence
- Corroborated
Laura Tolliver was formerly enslaved on H. G. D. Brown's Lucky Hit plantation.
The 1865 Freedmen's Bureau register associates Laura's former enslaver with Lucky Hit plantation. The precise location of Lucky Hit has not been independently established and no coordinates are recorded.
- Corroborated
Laura Tolliver was formerly enslaved by H. G. D. Brown.
An 1865 Freedmen's Bureau register names Laura and identifies her as formerly enslaved by H. G. D. Brown. An unnamed eight-year-old female in Brown's 1860 slave schedule is consistent in age but cannot independently be identified as Laura.
