When I was going through some city directories to make up a page on Blacksmiths, I noticed a lot of these cities had a lot of policemen and other law officers. So I decided to make up a page of names of these officers, as I know there are a lot of you out there looking for a ancestor who was a law officer. This page is not just about policeman, but Marshals, Sheriffs and the men and women that worked within the police department.
Note. All these law officers will be from the 1800's.
Important Note. I find I will not have a enough room for all the Law Office I would like put here, so at the end of the State of Massachusetts I will give a list of all the cities that I can look up your ancestor in who may have been in some kind of law enforcement. If you see a state and city that you would like me to look up, you can find my address in my profile.
Note. The information given here is name, date, city and state the rest of the research is up to you, but keep in mind I will answer any questions you may have.
