The purpose of the writer of this study was to (1) find out who the people of the Nicodemus colony were; (2) to determine from what section of the United States they came; (3) to answer the question of land ownership both as to early landowners and present landowners; (4) to try to determine the reason why the negro migrated; and (5) the author wished to give to the reader the original records in such a way as to depict the whole picture from the first of the migration to the present time.
