All Jefferson items in the possession of\n the University of Virginia Library are now included; new entries are added as additional\n Jefferson items are acquired by the Library. "," The Calendar contains entries for all letters and\n documents in our collections written by or to Jefferson; letters docketed by Jefferson;\n 19th century copies of Jefferson letters transcribed by family members; photomechanical\n reproductions of some privately-held Jefferson letters, and of some Jefferson letters in\n other institutions (most notably the correspondence with Tadeusz Kosciuszko in the\n National Museum of Krakow, Poland), which are inaccessible to most researchers; and the\n Peter Jefferson documents held by the Library. "," In updating the Calendar we retained the basic format of\n the earlier printed versions. A typical entry consists of the name of the writer, the\n place from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter\n is directed, followed by the date of manuscript. This is followed by a brief physical\n description of the manuscript (e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages)\n and, for entries made between 1950 and 1973, information about the location of other\n copies and citations to printed versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries\n for materials acquired since 1970 with notes on the location of other copies or\n additional citations of printed versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library\n collection of which the manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are\n also included. The entry concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries\n from the 1950 and 1973 editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for\n purposes of indexing. "," We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word \"slave\" replaces the\n word \"servant\" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a\n slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label \"photostat.\"\n Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings is\n listed individually with the corresponding \"Nichols number\" taken from Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings / compiled and with\n commentary and a check list by Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville\n : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, 1988, c1995.) "," For more details about the original compilation of the Calendar , please see the Introduction to the\n 1950 Edition, below. "," Edward Gaynor Ann L. S. Southwell March 2004 ","Introduction to the 1950 Edition","In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I\n have freely made use of many people's work. Daily reference has been made to our\n Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n publication in the Papers.","The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n 10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n cases are the only known texts.","Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n manuscript or order a photographic copy.","Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n hand, either contemporary or later.","The final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n in printing.","Special attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the Calendar of\n Letters from Jefferson, in the Bulletin of the Bureau\n of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, No. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the Calendar which appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n unless otherwise stated.","Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n the provision of explanatory comment.","All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n by the owner.","It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n expression, \"19th century copy\".","Omitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n 1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.","One conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.","To the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication. The courtesy and patience of the\n Administrator and of the members of the Council in connection with our unavoidable\n delays in printing are particularly appreciated.","If this work had a dedication, it would be to Harry Clemons, who brought the Manuscript\n Division into being, whose faith has a way of moving mountains, and to whom all of the\n daily tasks of our staff are truly dedicated by our admiration and affection.","University of Virginia 1 October 1949 Francis L.

Daily reference has been made to our\n Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n publication in the Papers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n 10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n cases are the only known texts.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eResearchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n manuscript or order a photographic copy.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEach entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n hand, either contemporary or later.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n in printing.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\".

J.\" indicates\n that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n the provision of explanatory comment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAll manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference.

All Jefferson items in the possession of\n the University of Virginia Library are now included; new entries are added as additional\n Jefferson items are acquired by the Library. "," The Calendar contains entries for all letters and\n documents in our collections written by or to Jefferson; letters docketed by Jefferson;\n 19th century copies of Jefferson letters transcribed by family members; photomechanical\n reproductions of some privately-held Jefferson letters, and of some Jefferson letters in\n other institutions (most notably the correspondence with Tadeusz Kosciuszko in the\n National Museum of Krakow, Poland), which are inaccessible to most researchers; and the\n Peter Jefferson documents held by the Library. "," In updating the Calendar we retained the basic format of\n the earlier printed versions. A typical entry consists of the name of the writer, the\n place from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter\n is directed, followed by the date of manuscript. This is followed by a brief physical\n description of the manuscript (e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages)\n and, for entries made between 1950 and 1973, information about the location of other\n copies and citations to printed versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries\n for materials acquired since 1970 with notes on the location of other copies or\n additional citations of printed versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library\n collection of which the manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are\n also included. The entry concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries\n from the 1950 and 1973 editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for\n purposes of indexing. "," We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word \"slave\" replaces the\n word \"servant\" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a\n slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label \"photostat.\"\n Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings is\n listed individually with the corresponding \"Nichols number\" taken from Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings / compiled and with\n commentary and a check list by Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville\n : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, 1988, c1995.) "," For more details about the original compilation of the Calendar , please see the Introduction to the\n 1950 Edition, below. "," Edward Gaynor Ann L. S. Southwell March 2004 ","Introduction to the 1950 Edition","In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I\n have freely made use of many people's work. Daily reference has been made to our\n Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n publication in the Papers.","The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n 10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n cases are the only known texts.","Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n manuscript or order a photographic copy.","Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n hand, either contemporary or later.","The final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n in printing.","Special attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the Calendar of\n Letters from Jefferson, in the Bulletin of the Bureau\n of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, No. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the Calendar which appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n unless otherwise stated.","Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n the provision of explanatory comment.","All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n by the owner.","It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n following Jefferson's death.

Dayton, Va.: Ruebush-Elkins Company, 1912.","John Edwin Roller (1844-1918), born near Mt. Crawford, was a prominent lawyer, lecturer, and antiquarian in the Shenandoah Valley. He served in the Confederate Army, and in 1872 became major-general of the 3rd Division of the Virginia Militia. A graduate of Virginia Military Institute and University of Virginia Law School, Roller was the first non-Pennsylvanian president of the Pennsylvania German Society (1909-1910). Roller also served four sessions in the Virginia State Senate and was the first president of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society. He pursued interests in local and religious history, ammassing a considerable collection of books and papers. Most of these items were dispersed, however, during the course of the twentieth century. ","The donor, Margaret Grattan Weaver (1905-2001), was a member of two of the most distinguished families in Rockingham County, the Rollers and the Grattans. She was known throughout the Shenandoah Valley for her involvement in civic, historic, and religious organizations including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society, and the Margaret Grattan Weaver Foundation, which she founded in 1997. The foundation supports and promotes preservation and appreciation of the history and religious heritage of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. She was also dedicated to writing poetry and essays on suffering and death, some of which are included in this collection.","The Civil War era signatures were removed from their backing, deacidified, remounted with wheat paste on acid-free backing, and encapsulated in March 1993. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017.

Elizabeth Black's father Harvey Black and John S. Apperson served together in the 4th Virginia, 1st Brigade during the American Civil War. Black was a regimental surgeon and Apperson was a hospital steward under his command.","Harvey Black (1827-1888) was a native of Blacksburg and a grandson of town founder John Black. (Harvey Black did not use the e in his given name, but as an adult he regularly signed his name as H. Black and he was almost always identified publicly as Harvey Black.) After attending local schools, he began studying medicine under two local doctors. In 1847, he volunteered to serve in the Mexican War in the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers; three months later, he was made a hospital steward. He entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1848 and graduated in June 1849. That fall, he took a four-month journey, on horseback, from western Virginia through the upper Mid-West as far west as Iowa. He decided to settle in Blacksburg and opened a medical practice there in 1852. The same year, he married Mary Kent of Blacksburg.","On August 2, 1861, Harvey Black was appointed regimental surgeon in the 4th Virginia, 1st Brigade, known as the Stonewall Brigade. John Apperson, who had enlisted with the Smyth Blues of Smyth County, Virginia, in April 1861, was appointed hospital steward under the command of Harvey Black in March 1862. Black and Apperson served together with the 4th regiment until late 1862. They provided medical care to the wounded at first Manassas, second Manassas, and the Battle of Fredericksburg. In late 1862, Black was appointed surgeon of the field hospital of the Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, and brought Apperson with him. Both served in this hospital until the end of the war, taking care of recuperating soldiers who were wounded of the Second Corps' major engagements, including the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863 and the Spotsylvania Campaign in 1864. Black assisted Hunter Holmes McGuire with the amputation of Stonewall Jackson's arm on May 3, 1863.","After the Civil War, Harvey Black resumed his medical practice in Blacksburg. He was elected president of the Medical Society of Virginia in 1872. He played an instrumental role in the founding of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College in Blacksburg in 1872. He was the first rector of the Board of Visitors.","From 1786 to 1882, Harvey Black was Superintendent of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum in Williamsburg. In 1884, he was appointed to the board of a proposed state mental hospital for southwestern Virginia. In 1885, he was elected to represent Montgomery County in the House of Delegates and served two sessions. In the House, he influenced the decision to locate the new hospital in Marion. In 1887, Black became the first superintendent of the new Southwestern State Lunatic Asylum in Marion. He appointed John S. Apperson assistant physician there. Harvey Black died in Richmond in October 1888 and was buried in Westview Cemetery in Blacksburg.","John S. Apperson (1837-1908) was born in Locust Grove, Virginia, and moved to Smyth County in 1859. He took a job splitting rails and began to study medicine under local physician William Faris. In 1861, Apperson enlisted in the Smyth Blues, organized as Company D, 4th Virginia. After the Civil War, he studied medicine at the University of Virginia, earning a degree in 1867. He returned to Smyth County and married Victoria Hull in 1868. They lived in Chilhowie, and Apperson practiced medicine and farmed. They had seven children.","John Apperson's first wife died in 1887. The same year, he took a job as assistant physician under Harvey Black at the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum of Virginia in Marion. When Harvey Black died in 1888, Apperson resigned his position at the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum and established a medical practice in Marion. In 1889, he married Elizabeth, daughter of his friend and mentor Harvey Black. They had four children: Harvey, Alexander, Kent, and Mary.","After his second marriage, John Apperson pursued a career in business. He was one of eight founders of Staley's Creek Manganese and Iron Company. In 1906, he expanded the operations of the Marion Foundry and Milling Company into the Marion Foundry and Machine Works. He also promoted the building of the Marion and Rye Valley Railroad.","In 1892, the Virginia Board of World's Fair Managers employed Apperson to collect items and transport Virginia exhibits to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. John Apperson died in Marion in 1908. His wife Elizabeth died in Blacksburg in 1942.","Harvey Black Apperson (1890-1948), the oldest child of John Apperson and Elizabeth Black, lived in Salem, Virginia, and practiced law in Roanoke for thirty years. He became active in Democratic Party politics in the 1920s. In a special election in 1933, he was elected to represent Floyd, Franklin, Montgomery, and Roanoke counties and the cities of Radford and Roanoke in the State Senate. He served on the State Corporation Commission from 1944 to 1947 and was Chairman of the Commission from June 1944 to 1947. Governor William Tuck appointed him Attorney General in August 1947, and he took office October 7, 1947. He died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Richmond on February 2, 1948. Alexander Apperson worked at the Marion Foundry and Machine Works for a period and later moved to Birmingham, Alabama.","Germanicus Kent (1791-1861) and Arabella Amiss Kent (1809-1951), parents of Harvey Black's wife Mary, are also documented in this collection. Germanicus Kent was born in Suffield, Connecticut, and attended Yale College. Circa 1822, he moved to Huntsville, Alabama, and worked as a cotton merchant. In 1827, he married Arabella Amiss of Blacksburg. According to a family account, Germanicus Kent left Huntsville in 1834 at the insistence of his brother Aratus Kent, a missionary in Illinois who opposed slavery. Aratus Kent was a founder of Beloit and Rockford colleges in Illinois. The family moved to Illinois in 1834. Lewis Kent (also known as Lewis Lemon), who was enslaved by Germanicus Kent in North Carolina when he was a boy, moved with the family and later purchased his freedom and settled in Iowa. Germanicus Kent is considered a founder of the town of Rockford, Illinois, and served in the Illinois state legislature. Mary Kent, born in 1836, was the first child of European ancestry born in Rockford. The family returned to Arabella's hometown of Blacksburg in 1843.","Sources Glenn L.

(Harvey Black did not use the e in his given name, but as an adult he regularly signed his name as H. Black and he was almost always identified publicly as Harvey Black.) After attending local schools, he began studying medicine under two local doctors. In 1847, he volunteered to serve in the Mexican War in the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers; three months later, he was made a hospital steward. He entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1848 and graduated in June 1849.

Elizabeth Black's father Harvey Black and John S. Apperson served together in the 4th Virginia, 1st Brigade during the American Civil War. Black was a regimental surgeon and Apperson was a hospital steward under his command.","Harvey Black (1827-1888) was a native of Blacksburg and a grandson of town founder John Black. (Harvey Black did not use the e in his given name, but as an adult he regularly signed his name as H. Black and he was almost always identified publicly as Harvey Black.) After attending local schools, he began studying medicine under two local doctors. In 1847, he volunteered to serve in the Mexican War in the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers; three months later, he was made a hospital steward. He entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1848 and graduated in June 1849. That fall, he took a four-month journey, on horseback, from western Virginia through the upper Mid-West as far west as Iowa. He decided to settle in Blacksburg and opened a medical practice there in 1852. The same year, he married Mary Kent of Blacksburg.","On August 2, 1861, Harvey Black was appointed regimental surgeon in the 4th Virginia, 1st Brigade, known as the Stonewall Brigade. John Apperson, who had enlisted with the Smyth Blues of Smyth County, Virginia, in April 1861, was appointed hospital steward under the command of Harvey Black in March 1862. Black and Apperson served together with the 4th regiment until late 1862. They provided medical care to the wounded at first Manassas, second Manassas, and the Battle of Fredericksburg. In late 1862, Black was appointed surgeon of the field hospital of the Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, and brought Apperson with him. Both served in this hospital until the end of the war, taking care of recuperating soldiers who were wounded of the Second Corps' major engagements, including the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863 and the Spotsylvania Campaign in 1864. Black assisted Hunter Holmes McGuire with the amputation of Stonewall Jackson's arm on May 3, 1863.","After the Civil War, Harvey Black resumed his medical practice in Blacksburg. He was elected president of the Medical Society of Virginia in 1872. He played an instrumental role in the founding of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College in Blacksburg in 1872. He was the first rector of the Board of Visitors.","From 1786 to 1882, Harvey Black was Superintendent of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum in Williamsburg. In 1884, he was appointed to the board of a proposed state mental hospital for southwestern Virginia. In 1885, he was elected to represent Montgomery County in the House of Delegates and served two sessions. In the House, he influenced the decision to locate the new hospital in Marion. In 1887, Black became the first superintendent of the new Southwestern State Lunatic Asylum in Marion. He appointed John S. Apperson assistant physician there. Harvey Black died in Richmond in October 1888 and was buried in Westview Cemetery in Blacksburg.","John S. Apperson (1837-1908) was born in Locust Grove, Virginia, and moved to Smyth County in 1859. He took a job splitting rails and began to study medicine under local physician William Faris. In 1861, Apperson enlisted in the Smyth Blues, organized as Company D, 4th Virginia. After the Civil War, he studied medicine at the University of Virginia, earning a degree in 1867. He returned to Smyth County and married Victoria Hull in 1868. They lived in Chilhowie, and Apperson practiced medicine and farmed. They had seven children.","John Apperson's first wife died in 1887. The same year, he took a job as assistant physician under Harvey Black at the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum of Virginia in Marion. When Harvey Black died in 1888, Apperson resigned his position at the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum and established a medical practice in Marion. In 1889, he married Elizabeth, daughter of his friend and mentor Harvey Black. They had four children: Harvey, Alexander, Kent, and Mary.","After his second marriage, John Apperson pursued a career in business. He was one of eight founders of Staley's Creek Manganese and Iron Company. In 1906, he expanded the operations of the Marion Foundry and Milling Company into the Marion Foundry and Machine Works. He also promoted the building of the Marion and Rye Valley Railroad.","In 1892, the Virginia Board of World's Fair Managers employed Apperson to collect items and transport Virginia exhibits to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. John Apperson died in Marion in 1908. His wife Elizabeth died in Blacksburg in 1942.","Harvey Black Apperson (1890-1948), the oldest child of John Apperson and Elizabeth Black, lived in Salem, Virginia, and practiced law in Roanoke for thirty years. He became active in Democratic Party politics in the 1920s. In a special election in 1933, he was elected to represent Floyd, Franklin, Montgomery, and Roanoke counties and the cities of Radford and Roanoke in the State Senate. He served on the State Corporation Commission from 1944 to 1947 and was Chairman of the Commission from June 1944 to 1947. Governor William Tuck appointed him Attorney General in August 1947, and he took office October 7, 1947. He died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Richmond on February 2, 1948. Alexander Apperson worked at the Marion Foundry and Machine Works for a period and later moved to Birmingham, Alabama.","Germanicus Kent (1791-1861) and Arabella Amiss Kent (1809-1951), parents of Harvey Black's wife Mary, are also documented in this collection. Germanicus Kent was born in Suffield, Connecticut, and attended Yale College. Circa 1822, he moved to Huntsville, Alabama, and worked as a cotton merchant. In 1827, he married Arabella Amiss of Blacksburg. According to a family account, Germanicus Kent left Huntsville in 1834 at the insistence of his brother Aratus Kent, a missionary in Illinois who opposed slavery. Aratus Kent was a founder of Beloit and Rockford colleges in Illinois. The family moved to Illinois in 1834. Lewis Kent (also known as Lewis Lemon), who was enslaved by Germanicus Kent in North Carolina when he was a boy, moved with the family and later purchased his freedom and settled in Iowa.

(Harvey Black did not use the e in his given name, but as an adult he regularly signed his name as H. Black and he was almost always identified publicly as Harvey Black.) After attending local schools, he began studying medicine under two local doctors. In 1847, he volunteered to serve in the Mexican War in the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers; three months later, he was made a hospital steward. He entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1848 and graduated in June 1849.
