These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America. \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General. \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772).

The series containing the papers of \n             James B. Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey consists of the financial records of the\n            survey teams led by \n             John Baylor, circular letters from the\n            home office in \n             Washington, D.C., the official\n            correspondence and reports of \n             John Baylor, photographs, printed\n            material, \n             United States government property\n            inventories, and bound volumes. \n                James Bowen Baylor (1849-1924)\n            graduated with an engineering degree from the \n             University of Virginia in 1872 and was\n            appointed an aid in the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey\n            Department in 1874, continuing to work as a field\n            agent throughout his career.

The Oyster Industry Protection Correspondence contains\n            much correspondence from \n             William Ellinger of \n             Fox Island, Virginia, who describes\n            himself as an oyster planter. Printed material consists of\n            death notices for \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey men, \n             Richard D.

Oversize items include a survey of the lands of \n             John Roy Baylor (June 1847),\n            photographs of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey, and a printed plan of the fairgrounds of\n            the \n             Virginia State Agricultural Society, \n             Richmond, 1854. The three \n             Baylor family ledgers, 1719-1755, contain\n            many references to the purchase of slaves (see\n            addendum).","The papers of the \n             Baylor family of \"Newmarket,\" \n             Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia, contain ca.\n            2000 items (11 Hollinger boxes, 4.5 linear feet),\n            1653-1915, and consist of correspondence, legal and\n            financial papers, ledgers, genealogical material, students\n            notebooks and bound volumes, scrapbooks, photographs, a\n            diary, literary compositions, military papers pertaining to\n            the Revolutionary War, newsclippings, the records of James Bowen Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and miscellaneous papers.","These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.","\n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General.","\n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America. \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General. \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n            pertaining to the sojourn of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n             England prior to and during the\n            Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n            Colonel \n             John Baylor's son at school in \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n            intentions of returning to the \n             United States (December 28, 1770); the\n            advice of \n             William Bond, a former teacher of \n             John Baylor, for him to seek further\n            educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n            return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n             William Bond's request for \n             John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n            and to visit \n             England (May 4, 1778); \n             John Baylor's trip to \n             England to wed his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n            the Baylor's leaving \n             England, and comments concerning the\n            fashions and decadence of \n             England (May 4, 1779).

The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.","\n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war.

He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team.","The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772).

This dry goods and\n         hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n          Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n          Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n          Joseph Prentis Webb. Following the fire\n         the two businesses cooperated in building a new store on\n         Washington Square in  Suffolk to house them both. \n          Robert S.

The correspondence dates\n         from 1823 to 1939, and for the most part is made up of\n         invitations and calling cards received by members of the above\n         families.","The financial papers date from 1735 to 1887, and consist of\n         18th century tax receipts from land owned in Virginia, probably by the \n          Prentis family in Williamsburg; bills of exchange, bonds,\n         and bills of lading belonging to William Prentis, John Prentis, and Robert Prentis; and miscellaneous\n         financial papers of various members of the above families.","The miscellaneous manuscripts date from 1771 to 1888, with much of the material undated. These papers consist of poems,\n         quotations from books, songs, memoranda of children's birth\n         dates, lists of subscribers, compositions, gardening notes,\n         recipes, and other assorted papers. Of particular interest in\n         this section is the photocopy of a Civil War diary kept by \n          Joseph Prentis Webb, ca. 1862 to 1863.","The memorabilia is for the most part undated and\n         unidentified, and consists of such items as paper dolls,\n         silhouettes, and locks of hair. There is also a photograph of \n          \"Rose Hill,\" an early home of the \n          Allen family in \n          Suffolk. The printed material dates from\n         1774 to 1942, and is comprised of newspaper clippings,\n         programs, and advertisements. Of particular interest for local\n         history relating to this collection is a Sketch Book of \n          Suffolk, Virginia, dating from ca.\n         1886.","The professional papers of \n          Robert Riddick Prentis comprise the next\n         main series in this collection. These papers, mainly\n         correspondence and some related legal material, concern four\n         cases of estate settlement and other fiscal litigation handled\n         by Withers and Prentis, the Suffolk law firm in which \n          Robert R. Prentis was a partner. The\n         series dates from 1812 to 1887. \n          Robert R. Prentis (born 11 April 1818) was\n         the son of Joseph Prentis, Jr., who served as clerk\n         of the Circuit and County Courts for Suffolk, and surveyor and inspector of\n         the port of Suffolk, and Susan Caroline Riddick. \n          Robert R. Prentis served as mayor of Suffolk from 1883 to 1885, and practiced\n         as an attorney in the courts of Nansemond, Isle of Wight and \n          Southhampton counties, and the \n          United States District Court at \n          Norfolk.","A major portion of this collection consists of the\n         financial papers of Joseph Prentis Webb. Webb was the son of \n          Robert S. Webb and Margaret Susan (Prentis) Webb, the sister\n         of \n          Robert R. Prentis. He was born in \n          Suffolk on 30 October 1843, and served in\n         the \n          13th Virginia Cavalry with the \n          Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 to\n         1865, during which time he wrote the diary referred to\n         earlier. Immediately after the war he started a drug company\n         in Suffolk, and later expanded the business\n         to include paints, building supplies, books, stationery, and a\n         variety of other goods. He served as treasurer of the board of\n         vestry of  St. Paul's Episcopal Church in \n          Suffolk, a vice-president of the \n          Suffolk Y.M.C.A., and was treasurer of\n         the \n          Suffolk Street Railway Company (formerly\n         the \n          Suffolk Street Car Company).","Webb's papers, dating from 1838 to 1892, are financial and\n         legal records from his various business and service\n         activities. In addition to receipts, accounts, and\n         correspondence relating to his building supply contracts and\n         store, there are deeds, bonds, and other legal records of\n         property ownership, tax and license receipts, pension records,\n         receipts of dues paid the Knights of Huron, and records from Webb's other activities as listed above. Webb's papers extend to\n         within two months of his death on 27 December 1892.","In 1885, a fire swept through  Suffolk, destroying not only \n          Joseph P. Webb's store but the business of Darden and Eley. This dry goods and\n         hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n          Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n          Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n          Joseph Prentis Webb. Following the fire\n         the two businesses cooperated in building a new store on\n         Washington Square in  Suffolk to house them both. \n          Robert S. Eleydied in 1886, and the\n         business was carried on by \n          A. S. Darden who continued to build and\n         expand it in cooperation with Webb, and to divide the profits\n         from the business with \n          Eliza P. Eley (possibly the former \n          Eliza Jaekson (Prentis) Vickery), the\n         widow of \n          R. S. Eley.","The records of the business of \n          Darden and Eley form the last major series\n         in this collection. These papers, which date from 1867 to\n         1905, consist mainly of deeds, receipts, and accounts, and\n         chronicle the changes the business went through as a result of\n         the events related above. They include: store receipts of \n          Darden and Eley; deeds made by Darden,\n         Webb, Eley, and others; tax receipts; accounts from the\n         settlement of the estate of \n          R. S. Eley; and receipts and invoices\n         from the building of the new store.","The remainder of the collection is comprised of ledgers,\n         oversize materials, and Bible records. The ledgers and\n         oversize items are listed at the end of this guide. The\n         ledgers date from 1733 to 1907, and include court memoranda\n         books of \n          Joseph Prentis and an 18th century \n          Robert Prentis, various financial ledgers\n         and cashbooks, commonplace books, a diary of \n          Joseph P. Webb, and some pastoral\n         notebooks of the Reverend \n          James Murray. Papers formerly inserted in\n         the ledgers and photocopies made of fragile material in the\n         ledgers can also be found in this section. The oversize\n         material consists of six scattered items pulled from various\n         parts of the collection. The Bible records are electrostatic\n         copies of pages in Bibles of the \n          Allen family, the Darden- Allen- Webb-Prentis family, and the \n          Prentis-Riddick-Webb family, and they are filed in the Bible\n         transcripts tray in the Reading Room. The originals were\n         returned to the owners.","(Please use photocopies filed at back of box\n                  -original very fragile)","(Newspaper clippings and photocopies at back of\n                  box)","(Original fragile -please use photocopies)"],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNo copies of the Civil War diary of Joseph Prentis Webb may be made without written permission of owner of original diary.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSee the \n            \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.library.virginia.edu/policies/use-of-materials\"\u003e\n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions"],"userestrict_tesim":["No copies of the Civil War diary of Joseph Prentis Webb may be made without written permission of owner of original diary.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc/\u003e"],"physloc_tesim":[""],"language_ssim":["English"],"total_component_count_is":84,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-05-21T12:21:04.614Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_viu00298_c01_c03"}},{"id":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01_c04","type":"File","attributes":{"title":"Fire - General Information - Fire Department and other interesting facts","breadcrumbs":{"id":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01_c04#breadcrumbs","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":{"ref_ssi":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01_c04","ref_ssm":["vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01_c04"],"id":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01_c04","ead_ssi":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18","_root_":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18","_nest_parent_":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01","parent_ssi":"vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01","parent_ssim":["vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18","vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01"],"parent_ids_ssim":["vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18","vaallhs_repositories_2_resources_18_c01"],"parent_unittitles_ssm":["Penny C.
