From their family seat\n         at \"Burlington,\" the Gwathmey's were active in the political,\n         social, and religious life of the county for more than two\n         centuries.","Joseph Hardin Gwathmey and his wife, Jeannette Garnett\n         (Ryland) Gwathmey, had five children, three of whom, John\n         Ryland Gwathmey (1888-1982), Anna Garnett Gwathmey\n         (1879-1979), and Mary Burnley Gwathmey (1883- 1974), are\n         prominent in this collection.","With the exception of the years he spent at Virginia\n         Polytechnic Institute (Now Virginia Polytechnic University and\n         State University), John Ryland Gwathmey spent his entire life\n         at \"Burlington.\" John Ryland Gwathmey supervised farming and\n         timber operations on the family estate and appraised real\n         estate in King William and nearby counties. He was also a\n         member of the county board of supervisors and of Beulah\n         Baptist Church.","The collection begins with the papers of Joseph Gwathmey,\n         (1758-1824), a planter, major in the state militia, and deacon\n         of the Beulah Baptist Church. These records consist of an\n         account book, loose accounts, and estate materials. Major\n         Gwathmey's account book also contains records of his\n         children's births and lists of horses. Most of his papers,\n         however, concern his estate and include the records of\n         executors, Richard Gwathmey (1789-1866), John Hill Gwathmey\n         (1798-1839), and William Gwathmey (1794-1875). Two accounts\n         books contain copies of Joseph Gwathmey's will, inventories,\n         appraisals, and accounts and expenses. Loose estate materials\n         include accounts, inventories, an indenture selling land to\n         Nathaniel Boush Hill, and an 1836 appraisal of slaves.","The papers of William Gwathmey are found in boxes 2-7.\n         William Gwathmey inherited \"Wakefield,\" but moved to\n         \"Burlington\" upon the death of his brother, John Hill\n         Gwathmey, in 1839. A planter and physician, Gwathmey was also\n         a trustee of the Beulah Baptist Church.","Dr. Gwathmey's papers begin with a diary of his journey to\n         St. Augustine, Florida, with his wife and sister-in-law,\n         Hardinia M. Burnley, from 1833 to 1834. Other diaries follow;\n         a complete list of these appears in the guide that follows\n         this description. The diaries, many of which are kept in\n         copies of Richardson's Almanac, mostly concern weather\n         conditions, farming operations, the health of slaves,\n         physicians's visits, and church activities. The pages of an\n         1837 diary describe a trip to New Orleans and southwest\n         Louisiana. Entries in the 1852 diary concern a medical\n         conference in Richmond (Apr. 28, May 5) and the presidential\n         election of that year (Nov. 9). The 1859 diary describes\n         hiring day in Ayletts (Jan. 1) and election day (May 26).","Diaries from the Civil War years not only provide\n         Gwathmey's views on the war, but also document local events.\n         Several 1863 entries describe the appearance of Northern units\n         in King William (January 8 and June 5), as well as the baptism\n         of slaves at Beulah (Sept. 6).

Several 1866 entries concern Reconstruction (Feb. 27,\n         May 31, June 12-18). These last entries concern formal charges\n         bought against a neighbor for mistreating a former slave.","Boxes 3-5 contain the correspondence of William Gwathmey.\n         Most of this consists of letters from family members,\n         including Joseph Robert Garlick, Frances Fielding (Lewis)\n         Gwathmey, Lucy Ann (Garlick) Gwathmey, Richard Gwathmey,\n         Washington Gwathmey, and William Henry Gwathmey. Many of these\n         letters concern the activities of Beulah Church. Significant\n         correspondence incudes the letters of Gwathmey's\n         brother-in-law, Edwin Burnley, who apparently deserted his\n         wife and went to Mississippi. These letters document his\n         divorce and attempts to transfer slaves to his new home. The\n         letters of another brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas Meaux, concern\n         medicine and phyhsicians.

The diaries mostly concern the weather and her\n         church activities, but the 1905 volume also contains notes on\n         the Garnett family. Her memoranda book contains notes on the\n         Peachey, Ryland, and Griffin families.","The papers of Owen Overton Gwathmey (1849-1922), Elizabeth\n         Burnley Gwathmey (b. 1818), Hardinia Morris Gwathmey\n         (1832-1905), and Mary Atwood Gwathmey (1834-1868) are located\n         in boxes 11 and 12.

The diaries, many of which are kept in\n         copies of Richardson's Almanac, mostly concern weather\n         conditions, farming operations, the health of slaves,\n         physicians's visits, and church activities. The pages of an\n         1837 diary describe a trip to New Orleans and southwest\n         Louisiana. Entries in the 1852 diary concern a medical\n         conference in Richmond (Apr. 28, May 5) and the presidential\n         election of that year (Nov. 9). The 1859 diary describes\n         hiring day in Ayletts (Jan. 1) and election day (May 26).","Diaries from the Civil War years not only provide\n         Gwathmey's views on the war, but also document local events.\n         Several 1863 entries describe the appearance of Northern units\n         in King William (January 8 and June 5), as well as the baptism\n         of slaves at Beulah (Sept. 6). Entries for 1864 describe the\n         arrival of Union troops at Ayletts (Mar. 1-2), the doctoring\n         of wounded soldiers, and the occupation of \"Burlington\" (May\n         22- 29). Several 1866 entries concern Reconstruction (Feb. 27,\n         May 31, June 12-18). These last entries concern formal charges\n         bought against a neighbor for mistreating a former slave.","Boxes 3-5 contain the correspondence of William Gwathmey.\n         Most of this consists of letters from family members,\n         including Joseph Robert Garlick, Frances Fielding (Lewis)\n         Gwathmey, Lucy Ann (Garlick) Gwathmey, Richard Gwathmey,\n         Washington Gwathmey, and William Henry Gwathmey. Many of these\n         letters concern the activities of Beulah Church. Significant\n         correspondence incudes the letters of Gwathmey's\n         brother-in-law, Edwin Burnley, who apparently deserted his\n         wife and went to Mississippi. These letters document his\n         divorce and attempts to transfer slaves to his new home. The\n         letters of another brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas Meaux, concern\n         medicine and phyhsicians.

The diaries mostly concern the weather and her\n         church activities, but the 1905 volume also contains notes on\n         the Garnett family. Her memoranda book contains notes on the\n         Peachey, Ryland, and Griffin families.","The papers of Owen Overton Gwathmey (1849-1922), Elizabeth\n         Burnley Gwathmey (b. 1818), Hardinia Morris Gwathmey\n         (1832-1905), and Mary Atwood Gwathmey (1834-1868) are located\n         in boxes 11 and 12.

From their family seat\n         at \"Burlington,\" the Gwathmey's were active in the political,\n         social, and religious life of the county for more than two\n         centuries.","Joseph Hardin Gwathmey and his wife, Jeannette Garnett\n         (Ryland) Gwathmey, had five children, three of whom, John\n         Ryland Gwathmey (1888-1982), Anna Garnett Gwathmey\n         (1879-1979), and Mary Burnley Gwathmey (1883- 1974), are\n         prominent in this collection.","With the exception of the years he spent at Virginia\n         Polytechnic Institute (Now Virginia Polytechnic University and\n         State University), John Ryland Gwathmey spent his entire life\n         at \"Burlington.\" John Ryland Gwathmey supervised farming and\n         timber operations on the family estate and appraised real\n         estate in King William and nearby counties. He was also a\n         member of the county board of supervisors and of Beulah\n         Baptist Church.","The collection begins with the papers of Joseph Gwathmey,\n         (1758-1824), a planter, major in the state militia, and deacon\n         of the Beulah Baptist Church. These records consist of an\n         account book, loose accounts, and estate materials. Major\n         Gwathmey's account book also contains records of his\n         children's births and lists of horses. Most of his papers,\n         however, concern his estate and include the records of\n         executors, Richard Gwathmey (1789-1866), John Hill Gwathmey\n         (1798-1839), and William Gwathmey (1794-1875). Two accounts\n         books contain copies of Joseph Gwathmey's will, inventories,\n         appraisals, and accounts and expenses. Loose estate materials\n         include accounts, inventories, an indenture selling land to\n         Nathaniel Boush Hill, and an 1836 appraisal of slaves.","The papers of William Gwathmey are found in boxes 2-7.\n         William Gwathmey inherited \"Wakefield,\" but moved to\n         \"Burlington\" upon the death of his brother, John Hill\n         Gwathmey, in 1839. A planter and physician, Gwathmey was also\n         a trustee of the Beulah Baptist Church.","Dr. Gwathmey's papers begin with a diary of his journey to\n         St. Augustine, Florida, with his wife and sister-in-law,\n         Hardinia M. Burnley, from 1833 to 1834. Other diaries follow;\n         a complete list of these appears in the guide that follows\n         this description. The diaries, many of which are kept in\n         copies of Richardson's Almanac, mostly concern weather\n         conditions, farming operations, the health of slaves,\n         physicians's visits, and church activities. The pages of an\n         1837 diary describe a trip to New Orleans and southwest\n         Louisiana. Entries in the 1852 diary concern a medical\n         conference in Richmond (Apr. 28, May 5) and the presidential\n         election of that year (Nov. 9). The 1859 diary describes\n         hiring day in Ayletts (Jan. 1) and election day (May 26).","Diaries from the Civil War years not only provide\n         Gwathmey's views on the war, but also document local events.\n         Several 1863 entries describe the appearance of Northern units\n         in King William (January 8 and June 5), as well as the baptism\n         of slaves at Beulah (Sept. 6). Entries for 1864 describe the\n         arrival of Union troops at Ayletts (Mar. 1-2), the doctoring\n         of wounded soldiers, and the occupation of \"Burlington\" (May\n         22- 29). Several 1866 entries concern Reconstruction (Feb. 27,\n         May 31, June 12-18). These last entries concern formal charges\n         bought against a neighbor for mistreating a former slave.","Boxes 3-5 contain the correspondence of William Gwathmey.\n         Most of this consists of letters from family members,\n         including Joseph Robert Garlick, Frances Fielding (Lewis)\n         Gwathmey, Lucy Ann (Garlick) Gwathmey, Richard Gwathmey,\n         Washington Gwathmey, and William Henry Gwathmey. Many of these\n         letters concern the activities of Beulah Church. Significant\n         correspondence incudes the letters of Gwathmey's\n         brother-in-law, Edwin Burnley, who apparently deserted his\n         wife and went to Mississippi. These letters document his\n         divorce and attempts to transfer slaves to his new home. The\n         letters of another brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas Meaux, concern\n         medicine and phyhsicians. Thomas Witt Haynes writes concerning\n         WG's son Richard Brooke Gwathmeyh, who served in the 9th\n         Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War. Letters with Alexander\n         Fleet pertain to Gwathmey's brief service in the Ware of 1812,\n         for which WG was applying for a pension. An 1865 letter from\n         richard Gwathmey describes the Richmond fire, while an 1837\n         letter describes a trip to Chicago, Ill.","Three accounts books follow. The first two are indexed and\n         primarily consist of accounts with patients, but they also\n         include records of family births, servant births, lists of\n         livestock, and accounts with the estate of Joseph Gwathmey.\n         The second account book also contains accounts, 1875-1895, of\n         Joseph Hardin Gwathmey. The third account book, 1870-1875,\n         contains contracts and accounts with farm hands.","Loose accounts begin in box 7. These are followed by deeds\n         and bonds, most of which concern land, but which also include\n         an indenture to a former slave, Sylvia Hill, granting her\n         ownership of her house. Beulah Baptist Church records consist\n         of lists of subscriptions, a commonplace book, eulogies for\n         Hardin Burnley (1804?-1869), John William Garlick\n         (1823?-1866), Edward Hill (d. 1870) and James Trice.\n         Miscellaneous materials include photocopies concerning\n         Gwathmey's 1812 service and a pass, 1864, signed by James\n         Alexander Seddon (1815-1880).","The correspondence of Elizabeth Theresa (Burnley) Gwathmey\n         (1806-1879), wife of William Gwathmey, consists mostly of\n         letters written by her children. Among those are the letters\n         of Mary Atwood Gwathmey, which describe her visit to cousins\n         in Mississippi in 1856 and 1857.","The collection contains materials of seven of William and\n         Elizabeth (Burnley) Gwathmey's children. The papers of Richard\n         Brooke Gwathmey (1838-1864), a soldier in the 9th Virginia\n         Cavalry during the Civil War, and William Gwathmey (1840-1858)\n         are located in box 8. Also in box 8 are several diaries of\n         Joseph Hardin Gwathmey (1846-1918), who inherited \"Burlington\"\n         upon the death of his father in 1875. Gwathmey, an agent for\n         the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company, also served as\n         superintendent of King William County Schools.","Gwathmey's general correspondence is mostly with friends\n         and family members, but also includes a letter signed by\n         Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1881-1944), as Assistant Secretary\n         of the Navy, thanking Gwathmey for the loan of his binoculars\n         to the U. S. Navy during the First World War. Account books\n         concern farming operations and include accounts with far\n         laborers. Loose accounts include receipts from the King\n         William County Grange. Records concerning Gwathmey's\n         superintendency of King William schools consist mostly of\n         certificates, but also include a statistical report, ca. 1905,\n         detailing conditions in the system.","The papers of Jeannette Garnett (Ryland) Gwathmey\n         (1847-1915), wife of Joseph Hardin Gwathmey, consist of\n         diaries, memoranda and scrapbooks, correspondence, and\n         miscellany. The diaries mostly concern the weather and her\n         church activities, but the 1905 volume also contains notes on\n         the Garnett family. Her memoranda book contains notes on the\n         Peachey, Ryland, and Griffin families.","The papers of Owen Overton Gwathmey (1849-1922), Elizabeth\n         Burnley Gwathmey (b. 1818), Hardinia Morris Gwathmey\n         (1832-1905), and Mary Atwood Gwathmey (1834-1868) are located\n         in boxes 11 and 12. Owen Overton Gwathmey was a lawyer and\n         judge of the King William Circuit Court. Among his papers are\n         deeds of land to Gwathmey in his capacity as trustee for\n         Beulah Baptist Church. His miscellany includes the wills of\n         Sylvia Hill (d. 1906) and Phillis Garlick, both of King\n         William County.","Gwathmey's papers begin with general correspondence, which\n         is mostly with family members. Frequent correspondents include\n         his sisters, Anna Garnett Gwathmey and Mary Burnley Gwathmey,\n         Eleanor Gwathmey (Powell) Dewey, Joseph Hardin Gwathmey\n         (1878-1945), Laura (Blankenship) Albert Gwathmey, and Lewis\n         Franklin Powell, associate justice of the United States\n         Supreme Court. Many of Powell's letters concern the\n         Burlington- Gwathmey Memorial Foundation, but have been filed\n         together with the general correspondence. Form letters consist\n         mostly of appeals from charitable and political organizations.\n         Greeting cards and invitations conclude this box.","Box 17 contains account books. Three of these concern\n         farming operations at \"Burlington.\" Financial records consist\n         almost entirely of bank statements and federal income and\n         property tax returns. Other financial records relate to life\n         and health insurance and trust funds, including statements and\n         accounts of the Burlington Cemetery Trust Fund.","In the late 1970's, \"Burlington\" was added to the Virginia\n         Landmarks Register. Correspondence with the Virginia Historic\n         Landmarks Commission concerns the establishment of landmark\n         status, the granting of an open space easement, and the\n         awarding of a preservation grant and subsequent restoration.\n         In 1977, the Burlington-Gwathmey Memorial Foundation was\n         established to maintain the family estate after the death of\n         John Ryland Gwathmey. Foundation materials include acts of\n         incorporation and correspondence, primarily with lawyers.","Box 30 begins with letters and census reports from the\n         Department of Agriculture concerning farming operations at\n         \"Burlington.\" Materials pertaining to timber include reports,\n         agreement, and accounts with lumber mills. These are followed\n         by land records, mostly deeds of lease, concerning other land\n         owned by JRG, including a house in Ayletts known as\n         \"Gwathmey's,\" and \"Meadow Farm,\" the estate adjacent to\n         \"Burlington.\"","John Ryland Gwathmey served as chairman of the industrial\n         and Rural Utilities Committee of the Ruritan Club of King\n         William County. These papers mostly concern the publication of\n         a promotional pamphlet, King William Invites You, and consist\n         of correspondence and drafts of the manuscript. Materials from\n         JRG's tenure as a member of the county's board of supervisors\n         also primarily concern industrial growth and include a\n         consultant's 1970 water and sewerage report. Appraisals of\n         farms in King William and surrounding counties, conducted by\n         JRG, conclude box 31. Papers relating to JRG's service as\n         trustee and clerk of the Beulah Baptist Church concern\n         subscriptions and renovations to the building. These precede\n         student composition books, clippings, and miscellany.","The papers of Anna Garnett Gwathmey begin with general\n         correspondence (boxes 33-36). Much of this is with her sister,\n         Mary Burnley Gwathmey, from 1921-1926. Other frequent\n         correspondents include family members: Alice R. Campbell,\n         Jeannette O. Campbell, Joseph Hardin Gwathmey (1878-1945),\n         Laura (Blankenship) Albert Gwathmey, and Laura Virginia\n         (Gwathmey) Young. Box 37 contains correspondence with\n         institutions, greeting cards, invitations, account books, and\n         accounts. Financial records consist of bank statement and\n         checks and investment, tax, and insurance records.","Materials in boxes 41-45 document Anna Garnett Gwathmey's\n         career as a general insurance agent in both New York City and\n         King William County. These begin with five account books, a\n         rate book, and a folder of unanswered solicitations. Client\n         files consist of correspondence, claim forms, invoices, and\n         policies with individual policy holders. These are arranged\n         alphabetically. Records from the various insurance companies\n         that AGG represented follow. These consist of letters and\n         memoranda from the companies, commission statements, forms,\n         bulletins, and promotional materials. Memoranda and rate\n         quotes from the Virginia Insurance Rating Bureau Service,\n         performance bonds, and miscellany conclude this section.","Materials concerning a patent search consist of reports and\n         copies of patents on stockings. Letters and miscellany of New\n         York's Three Arts Club pertain to a 1937 benefit bridge\n         tournament and dance. Speeches and addresses are mostly from a\n         public speaking class. Miscellany includes cards of airplane\n         silhouettes, used to test the accuracy of aircraft spotters\n         during World War II. Sympathy letters addressed to John Ryland\n         Gwathmey and estate materials conclude the papers of Anna\n         Garnett Gwathmey.","Mary Burnley Gwathmey (1883-1974) graduated from Woman's\n         College (now Westhampton College, University of Richmond), in\n         1904.

Major\n         Gwathmey's account book also contains records of his\n         children's births and lists of horses. Most of his papers,\n         however, concern his estate and include the records of\n         executors, Richard Gwathmey (1789-1866), John Hill Gwathmey\n         (1798-1839), and William Gwathmey (1794-1875).

A planter and physician, Gwathmey was also\n         a trustee of the Beulah Baptist Church.","Dr. Gwathmey's papers begin with a diary of his journey to\n         St. Augustine, Florida, with his wife and sister-in-law,\n         Hardinia M. Burnley, from 1833 to 1834. Other diaries follow;\n         a complete list of these appears in the guide that follows\n         this description. The diaries, many of which are kept in\n         copies of Richardson's Almanac, mostly concern weather\n         conditions, farming operations, the health of slaves,\n         physicians's visits, and church activities. The pages of an\n         1837 diary describe a trip to New Orleans and southwest\n         Louisiana. Entries in the 1852 diary concern a medical\n         conference in Richmond (Apr. 28, May 5) and the presidential\n         election of that year (Nov. 9).

Several 1866 entries concern Reconstruction (Feb. 27,\n         May 31, June 12-18). These last entries concern formal charges\n         bought against a neighbor for mistreating a former slave.","Boxes 3-5 contain the correspondence of William Gwathmey.\n         Most of this consists of letters from family members,\n         including Joseph Robert Garlick, Frances Fielding (Lewis)\n         Gwathmey, Lucy Ann (Garlick) Gwathmey, Richard Gwathmey,\n         Washington Gwathmey, and William Henry Gwathmey.

The diaries mostly concern the weather and her\n         church activities, but the 1905 volume also contains notes on\n         the Garnett family. Her memoranda book contains notes on the\n         Peachey, Ryland, and Griffin families.","The papers of Owen Overton Gwathmey (1849-1922), Elizabeth\n         Burnley Gwathmey (b. 1818), Hardinia Morris Gwathmey\n         (1832-1905), and Mary Atwood Gwathmey (1834-1868) are located\n         in boxes 11 and 12.

Watson sold the entire estate in 1797 to Richard Marshall Scott, son of John Scott (1732-1792) and Mary Marshall Scott (1735-1795). John Scott, an emigrant from Glasgow, Scotland, arrived in the colony of Maryland  around 1753 with a cargo to begin a career as a merchant. After some financial set-backs, John Scott became a farmer. John Scott and Mary Marshall Scott had three children born to them, David Wilson Scott (1766-1827), Richard Marshall Scott (1769-1833), and Anna Scott (1772-1821). In 1780, the Scott family moved from Maryland, settling first in Fairfax County, Virginia, and then at Farmington, in former Loudoun County, in 1791. ","Richard Marshall Scott, Sr. became a successful merchant and banker in Alexandria, Virginia, founding the Farmer's Bank of Alexandria, and served in the Virginia General Assembly in 1811-1812. He was active in gardening and horticulture and had a large private library.\nRichard Marshall Scott married three times. His first marriage was to Mary Love (1768-1812). He remained a widower until 1828, when he married his cousin, Eleanor Douglas Marshall (1807-1830). She bore his first son, Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. (1829-1856), five months before her death in 1830. His third marriage was to Lucinda Fitzhugh in 1832, who bore him a second son, Jonathan Mordecai Scott (1833-1924), in the same year as his death. ","William H. Foote became guardian in 1834 for the young Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. who attended various schools for boys and read law in Alexandria, Virginia with Francis L. Smith. Scott returned to Bush Hill Plantation at about age sixteen and began to keep a diary on February 18, 1846. On September 15, 1846, at age seventeen, he married Virginia Gunnell (1826-1913) of Washington. Their children were Frank Scott (1849-1893), Eleanor Marshall Scott Johnston (1847-1905), Richard M. Scott (1851-1915) and Anna Constance Scott (1853-1882). ","The 1850 Slave Schedule of Fairfax County lists Richard M. Scott with twenty enslaved persons. Fairfax County's 1859 Personal Property Assessment for Virginia Scott lists taxation for fourteen enslaved people. After the death of her husband in 1856, Virginia Gunnell Scott (1826-1913) managed the Bush Hill Plantation.  During the Civil War, Bush Hill functioned as headquarters for Union officers, but the Scott family remained in the house. \nBush Hill remained in possession of Virginia Gunnell Scott and her family until her death in 1913, when it passed to a cousin, Leonard Coleman Gunnell (1870-1941), and then to his son, Bruce Covington Gunnell (1907-1996 ), a Fairfax engineer. Beginning in 1942, the house was leased to the U.S. government and then to various day schools. Much of the property was sold to developers, with the historic building itself being destroyed by arson in 1977.","Information for this note came from materials in the collection and \"Phase IA Documentary Study of 10.67 Acres at 4840 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia\" by William M.

Other materials include printed articles about the Bush Hill plantation,a copy of a book, \"The Battles of Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville,\" and genealogical charts, tables and notes.","Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. began keeping this diary when he moved back to the Bush Hill plantation from Alexandria, where he had been reading law with Francis L. Smith since October of 1845. On the first page, he records the names of all of his slaves living at Bush Hill plantation. He writes about work done on the plantation; the weather, including a heavy snow; social visits; his joy at having the Bush Hill plantation as his property at last; an injury to his slave, Aaron, while cutting timber; the construction of a new barn; church attendance; his first mention of his future wife, Virginia Gunnell (March 15, 1846); the illness, death and burial of his housekeeper, Isabella, who was treated by Dr Fairfax and Dr. Richard (April 7-21, 1846); his runaway slave, George, eventually sold to Richard Windsor (April 22-31, 1846); his friendship with Dr. Gunnell and his sister, Virginia; his suffering with mumps; attendance at events, such as the Great National Fair in Washington (May 21, 1846), various sessions of Congress, the anniversaries of national events, and his viewing of paintings in the Rotunda at the Capitol; mention of the Mexican War and General Taylor (June 8, 1846); the sale of slave woman, Catherine, for \"improper conduct\" to Joseph Bruin (August 10-11, 1846); national and state elections; his marriage to Virginia Gunnell (September 15, 1846); the birth of his daughter, Eleanor Marshall Scott (August 7, 1847); and the hiring out of some of his slaves at Samuel Catts on the first of January each year, beginning in 1847. This diary account continues in volumes marked \"Notebook\" in Box 4.","The originals of these excerpts are labeled \"Diary\" and \"Memoranda Books\"  on the covers of the volumes they were taken from and in the finding aid.","This private journal kept by Francis M. Gunnell, M.D., U.S. Navy, whose appointment was dated March 23, 1849, describes a cruise in the sloop of war \"U.S.S. Falmouth.\" The crew began sailing for the Pacific on May 16, 1849, where the \"Falmouth\" was charged with protecting the new American settlements on the west coast. The ship also voyaged to various Pacific islands before returning to Norfolk on January 29, 1852. This account of the cruise occupies pages 1-72 of the volume. The second portion of the journal, pages 74-111, describe Gunnell's cruise aboard the U.S.S. Independence and appears to be written totally in French.","According to Wikipedia, the Independence \"was recommissioned in September 1854 and departed New York on 10 October to serve as flagship of the Pacific Squadron under Commodore William Mervine. She arrived Valparaíso, Chile, on 2 February 1855. Her cruising grounds ranged northward to San Francisco and west to Hawaii.

Scott, and Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Alexandria, to Congress, May 26, 181[8?].","Chiefly describes agricultural activities, but does have some references to events during the period of the American Revolution, such as mentions of mustering with his battalion and seeing Men-of-War ships and transports coming up the [Potomac?] River, in July 1776. Some of the pages record the names of enslaved laborers with the farming activity, and also births, such as the birth of a boy to his \"wench\" Betty, July [4?], 1776.","The memoranda books of Richard M. Scott, Sr. record agricultural and horticultural events, social visits, activities of enslaved laborers, deaths and births of slaves, and inventories of property, such as the one  concerning house linens, knives and forks, earthenware and plate at \"Bush Hill\" (February 4, 1812).  He mentions the anniversaries of the tragic death of his wife, who died in 1812 from injuries sustained in the Richmond Theater fire of December 26, 1811. ","He also writes about trips to the District of Columbia, the invasion of the Capitol by the British during the War of 1812 (August 24 and 28, 1814), trips to Warm Springs in Bath County, Virginia, for his health, and a fire at Bush Hill involving the servant hall, barn, stables, equipment and straw (April 8, 1823). Scott also mentions his blacksmith shop to be built by Henry Morris, a free man of color for a dollar a day (August 5, 1824), attended the funeral of \"negro Betty, a free woman, wife of my servant Moses\" (October 7, 1824), gave a holiday to his servants (slaves) to witness the entry and reception of General Lafayette on the 16th of October (October 23, 1824) and included a list of spirits and wine on hand (July 24, 1824).","Mentions the marriage of his servant and gardener, Townshend Crump, to Molly Turner, a servant of [J].E.
