Patrick Henry died on 6\n         June 1799 in Red Hill, Virginia.","Governor Henry's Executive papers are organized\n         chronologically with undated items and pardons arranged at the\n         end of each year. These papers primarily consist of incoming\n         correspondence during Henry's fourth \u0026 fifth terms as\n         Governor from 30 November 1784 to 30 November 1786. The\n         correspondence relates to a variety of topics including\n         recommendations, resignations, \u0026 appointments for state\n         positions; Indian atrocities \u0026 treaties; Revolutionary War\n         claims; internal improvements; militia; taxation; the Point of\n         Fork Arsenal \u0026 arms; the public prison \u0026 prisoners;\n         state finances; slave labor in the lead mines; the State of\n         Franklin; piracy; foreign affairs; elections; trade; etc. In\n         addition to correspondence, there are accounts; appointments;\n         commissions; contracts; depositions; various lists of\n         escheators, invalid soldiers, justices, magistrates, county\n         commissioners, militia officers, prisoners, etc.; judicial\n         records; quarterly militia returns \u0026 returns of stores;\n         payrolls; oaths of qualification; ordinances; pardons;\n         petitions; proceedings; receipts; resolutions of Congress and\n         the Virginia House of Delegates; and treaties with various\n         Indian tribes \u0026 European powers.","Noteworthy correspondence originates from the United States\n         government, Virginia State government, and miscellaneous\n         sources.

Noteworthy is Houdon's contract\n         written in French (1785 July 8). There is also a letter from\n         Jefferson concerning resolutions of Congress to improve\n         commerce between France and the United States (1786 May 31).\n         Both Jefferson and Thomas Barclay, Consul-General, endeavored\n         to have arms manufactured in France and transported to\n         Virginia for the use of the militia (1785 Aug. 23, Oct. 12;\n         1786 Jan. 16, July 22). The letter from Barclay, dated Jan.\n         16, encloses French contract for 3,400 stand of arms to be\n         constructed at the Royal Manufactory at Tulle.","Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, corresponded often\n         with Henry.

On 6 July 1786, Jay enclosed a\n         letter from John Adams regarding a state of grievances from\n         British merchants and other subjects owed debts in America.\n         Jay also encloses a letter to him from Thomas Jefferson, a\n         contract between Farmers General of France and Robert Morris,\n         and a letter to Jefferson from the Comte de Vergennes (1786\n         Aug. 28). Henry Knox, Secretary of War, writes Henry regarding\n         two companies ordered to the rapids of the Ohio by Maj. North\n         (1786 July 13) and instructions to the senior officer of the\n         troops to be raised in Virginia by the act of Congress passed\n         on 20 Oct. 1786 (1786 Oct. 21).","As Agents for Indian Affairs, Joseph Martin, Andrew\n         Pickens, and Benjamin Hawkins corresponded with Governor with\n         respect to issues relating to Native Americans. On 25 March\n         1785, Joseph Martin requested a commission in case of invasion\n         by the Cherokee, Creek and Chickamauga Indians. Martin also\n         requested a certificate from Governor Henry to be forwarded to\n         Congress with the offer of his services as Indian Commissioner\n         fo the entire Southern Department (1785 April 17). The three\n         agents wrote Henry on 10 June 1785 regarding their commission\n         to treat with the Cherokees and other southern tribes. Present\n         are articles of treaty between the agents concluded at\n         Hopewell, S.C. (1786 Jan. 3).","The Virginia delegates to the Continental Congress\n         submitted various documents to the Governor for his\n         examination. Included is letter from Samuel Hardy and James\n         Monroe on the subject of public buildings at the falls of the\n         Delaware and the intermediate residence of Congress in New\n         York.

Richard\n         Henry Lee, William Grayson, and James Monroe enclosed copies\n         of treaties with Indian tribes at Fort Stanwix and Fort\n         McIntosh on 22 Oct. 1784 and 21 Jan. 1785. They also include\n         an act appointing a treaty to be held at post St. Vincent \t\t  (1785\n         May 16). Lee and Grayson also informed Governor Henry of the\n         death of Samuel Hardy in a letter dated 24 Oct. 1785. In\n         addition, there is a resolution of Congress respecting Hardy's\n         death from 17 Oct. 1785.","Significant correspondents from Virginia State government\n         include John Beckley, Clerk of the House of Delegates; J.\n         Brooke, Clerk of the Senate; Capt.

Brooke submitted similar documents from the Senate as Clerk\n         of that body.","Captain John Peyton often wrote Colonel Thomas Meriwether,\n         Clerk of the Council and Commissioner of Army Accounts, and\n         Governor Henry regarding the state of the Point of Fork\n         Arsenal. Peyton's letters concern public negroes working at\n         the lead mines, clothing and provisions for his guard at the\n         arsenal, the repair of public arms, and quarterly returns of\n         arms and military stores.

Campbell voiced concerns about the militia\n         law, the State of Franklin, the murder of Frenchman Major Le\n         Brun., and Indian outrages. In 1785, Campbell was charged with\n         misconduct, specifically for advising persons to refuse\n         payment of taxes, advising freeholders against sending members\n         to the Assembly, and attempting to induce inhabitants to\n         separate from the Commonwealth. Numerous depositions were\n         taken in February and March of 1786 with regards to this\n         case.","Colonel Le Maire wrote to Governor Henry regarding foreign\n         affairs between France and Prussia, admission into the Order\n         of Cincinnati, a commission as lieutenant-colonel of dragoons,\n         American citizenship, and a petition for the settlement of his\n         claim against the State of Virginia.

Henry married twice; first to Sarah Shelton in\n         1754, and later to Dorothea Spotswood Dandridge in 1776. He\n         was admitted to the bar on 15 April 1760 and was elected to\n         his first public office as a member of the Virginia House of\n         Burgesses on 29 May 1765. As a member of this body, Henry\n         fought against the Stamp Act and helped defend the rights of\n         the colonies against British tyranny. He assisted in the\n         establishment of committees of correspondence among the\n         colonies and was a delegate to the first Continental Congress\n         in 1774-1775. Henry was a staunch supporter for the\n         independence of the colonies from Great Britain. Well-known\n         for his extraordinary oratory abilities, Henry's famous \"Give\n         me liberty or give me death\" speech on 23 March 1775 helped\n         galvanize Virginian's resolve for independence. In May 1776,\n         he was elected to the Fifth Revolutionary Convention where he\n         advocated a bill of rights and constitution for Virginia. The\n         Convention named Henry the first governor of the newly\n         independent commonwealth and he served three consecutive\n         one-year terms until 1778. Following these terms as governor,\n         Henry returned the legislature, but was again elected governor\n         for two additional terms from 17 November 1784 to November\n         1786. Retiring from political office in 1791, Henry declined\n         appointments to be a United States Senator in 1794, Secretary\n         of State in 1795, Chief Justice, Minister of France \u0026\n         Spain, and a sixth term as Governor.

Henry married twice; first to Sarah Shelton in\n         1754, and later to Dorothea Spotswood Dandridge in 1776. He\n         was admitted to the bar on 15 April 1760 and was elected to\n         his first public office as a member of the Virginia House of\n         Burgesses on 29 May 1765. As a member of this body, Henry\n         fought against the Stamp Act and helped defend the rights of\n         the colonies against British tyranny. He assisted in the\n         establishment of committees of correspondence among the\n         colonies and was a delegate to the first Continental Congress\n         in 1774-1775. Henry was a staunch supporter for the\n         independence of the colonies from Great Britain. Well-known\n         for his extraordinary oratory abilities, Henry's famous \"Give\n         me liberty or give me death\" speech on 23 March 1775 helped\n         galvanize Virginian's resolve for independence. In May 1776,\n         he was elected to the Fifth Revolutionary Convention where he\n         advocated a bill of rights and constitution for Virginia. The\n         Convention named Henry the first governor of the newly\n         independent commonwealth and he served three consecutive\n         one-year terms until 1778. Following these terms as governor,\n         Henry returned the legislature, but was again elected governor\n         for two additional terms from 17 November 1784 to November\n         1786. Retiring from political office in 1791, Henry declined\n         appointments to be a United States Senator in 1794, Secretary\n         of State in 1795, Chief Justice, Minister of France \u0026\n         Spain, and a sixth term as Governor. Patrick Henry died on 6\n         June 1799 in Red Hill, Virginia.","Governor Henry's Executive papers are organized\n         chronologically with undated items and pardons arranged at the\n         end of each year. These papers primarily consist of incoming\n         correspondence during Henry's fourth \u0026 fifth terms as\n         Governor from 30 November 1784 to 30 November 1786. The\n         correspondence relates to a variety of topics including\n         recommendations, resignations, \u0026 appointments for state\n         positions; Indian atrocities \u0026 treaties; Revolutionary War\n         claims; internal improvements; militia; taxation; the Point of\n         Fork Arsenal \u0026 arms; the public prison \u0026 prisoners;\n         state finances; slave labor in the lead mines; the State of\n         Franklin; piracy; foreign affairs; elections; trade; etc. In\n         addition to correspondence, there are accounts; appointments;\n         commissions; contracts; depositions; various lists of\n         escheators, invalid soldiers, justices, magistrates, county\n         commissioners, militia officers, prisoners, etc.; judicial\n         records; quarterly militia returns \u0026 returns of stores;\n         payrolls; oaths of qualification; ordinances; pardons;\n         petitions; proceedings; receipts; resolutions of Congress and\n         the Virginia House of Delegates; and treaties with various\n         Indian tribes \u0026 European powers.","Noteworthy correspondence originates from the United States\n         government, Virginia State government, and miscellaneous\n         sources. Prominent correspondents from the United States\n         government include Thomas Jefferson, Minister of France;\n         Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress; John Jay, Secretary of\n         Foreign Affairs; Henry Knox, Secretary of War; Joseph Martin,\n         Andrew Pickens, \u0026 Benjamin Hawkins, Agents for Indian\n         Affairs; and the Virginia Delegates to Congress: Richard Henry\n         Lee, James Monroe, William Grayson, Samuel Hardy, Edward\n         Carrington \u0026 Henry Lee.","Letters from Thomas Jefferson, in Paris, regard\n         arrangements for Monsieur Houdon's sculpting of a bust of the\n         Marquis de la Fayette and a statue of George Washington for\n         the State of Virginia (1785 Jan. 12, June 16, July 8, July 11,\n         Aug. 22; 1786 Jan. 24). Noteworthy is Houdon's contract\n         written in French (1785 July 8). There is also a letter from\n         Jefferson concerning resolutions of Congress to improve\n         commerce between France and the United States (1786 May 31).\n         Both Jefferson and Thomas Barclay, Consul-General, endeavored\n         to have arms manufactured in France and transported to\n         Virginia for the use of the militia (1785 Aug. 23, Oct. 12;\n         1786 Jan. 16, July 22). The letter from Barclay, dated Jan.\n         16, encloses French contract for 3,400 stand of arms to be\n         constructed at the Royal Manufactory at Tulle.","Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, corresponded often\n         with Henry. He enclosed resolutions and acts of Congress,\n         monthly States of Representation, treaties, etc. Significant\n         documents transmitted to Thomson include resolutions regarding\n         the establishment of a federal town (1784 Dec. 20); an act of\n         Congress for negotiating a treaty with Southern Indians (1785\n         March 24); an act of Congress for laying out into distinct\n         states the Western Territory ceded to the Union (1785 May 28);\n         and the treaty between the United States and Prussia (1786\n         June 9).","Correspondence from John Jay relates to his position as\n         Secretary of Foreign Affairs. On 6 July 1786, Jay enclosed a\n         letter from John Adams regarding a state of grievances from\n         British merchants and other subjects owed debts in America.\n         Jay also encloses a letter to him from Thomas Jefferson, a\n         contract between Farmers General of France and Robert Morris,\n         and a letter to Jefferson from the Comte de Vergennes (1786\n         Aug. 28). Henry Knox, Secretary of War, writes Henry regarding\n         two companies ordered to the rapids of the Ohio by Maj. North\n         (1786 July 13) and instructions to the senior officer of the\n         troops to be raised in Virginia by the act of Congress passed\n         on 20 Oct. 1786 (1786 Oct. 21).","As Agents for Indian Affairs, Joseph Martin, Andrew\n         Pickens, and Benjamin Hawkins corresponded with Governor with\n         respect to issues relating to Native Americans. On 25 March\n         1785, Joseph Martin requested a commission in case of invasion\n         by the Cherokee, Creek and Chickamauga Indians. Martin also\n         requested a certificate from Governor Henry to be forwarded to\n         Congress with the offer of his services as Indian Commissioner\n         fo the entire Southern Department (1785 April 17). The three\n         agents wrote Henry on 10 June 1785 regarding their commission\n         to treat with the Cherokees and other southern tribes. Present\n         are articles of treaty between the agents concluded at\n         Hopewell, S.C. (1786 Jan. 3).","The Virginia delegates to the Continental Congress\n         submitted various documents to the Governor for his\n         examination. Included is letter from Samuel Hardy and James\n         Monroe on the subject of public buildings at the falls of the\n         Delaware and the intermediate residence of Congress in New\n         York. The delegates discuss a federal town and the decision to\n         appropriate money for more than one town (1785 March). Richard\n         Henry Lee, William Grayson, and James Monroe enclosed copies\n         of treaties with Indian tribes at Fort Stanwix and Fort\n         McIntosh on 22 Oct. 1784 and 21 Jan. 1785. They also include\n         an act appointing a treaty to be held at post St. Vincent \t\t  (1785\n         May 16). Lee and Grayson also informed Governor Henry of the\n         death of Samuel Hardy in a letter dated 24 Oct. 1785. In\n         addition, there is a resolution of Congress respecting Hardy's\n         death from 17 Oct. 1785.","Significant correspondents from Virginia State government\n         include John Beckley, Clerk of the House of Delegates; J.\n         Brooke, Clerk of the Senate; Capt. John Peyton, Superintendent\n         of the Point of Fork Arsenal; Col. Thomas Meriwether,\n         Commissioner of Army Accounts; William Rose, Keeper of the\n         Public Jail; Edmund Randolph, Attorney General; Leighton Wood,\n         Jr., Solicitor General; Andrew Dunscomb, Assistant\n         Commissioner of Military Claims; Capt. James Barron, Virginia\n         Navy; and Jacquelin Ambler, Treasurer.","John Beckley enclosed resolutions from the legislature to\n         the Governor.
