Ingram Stock Certificate #284

The information for this project comes from many primary and secondary documents, some in English and others in Spanish. This compilation of documents includes Blalock Mexico Colony legal founding documents, stock certificates, purchase agreements and newspaper articles from a number of newspapers including The Chamal Record. In addition, letters, maps, and reference materials including books, articles and government reports provided valuable data.

Also examined were United States Claims Commission documents housed at the National Archives in College Park Maryland. These files contain the testimonies by members of the Blalock Mexico Colony taken after the Mexican Revolution and include claimant forms, lists with descriptions and values of land, homes, out buildings, improvements, household goods, livestock, farm equipment, and orchards. Many primary accounts are given about life in the colony before and during the Mexican Revolution. Also contained in the files are letters, memoranda, telegrams and reports from colonists and government entities such as the United States Department of State and numerous American Consulates in Mexico.
