Teddy became an underwater explorer, teacher, treasure hunter, and pioneer.  He earned the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II.  Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology. Teddy died June 9, 2014. \nSources consulted for this biographical/ Historical History: The New York Times, Teddy Tucker Obituary, June 27, 2014.","The collection consists of correspondence, day books, blueprints, photographs, genealogical research, maps, DVDs, artwork, textiles, and artifacts, circa 1760-1990, relating to the Tucker family of Bermuda and the Taliaferro-Bolton families of Richmond, Virginia. ","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.  There are also some files concerning shipwreck artifacts, fragments of books, and copies of excerpts of Columbus's First Voyage through the Bahamas.","Certification that \"Edward H.

The majority of the items are items used in daily life or special events, such as utensils, spectacles, everyday tools, and personal accessories. The majority of the artifacts and textiles lack provenance within Tucker's family, with some exceptions, such as engraved silver utensils bearing the names of relatives that include Anna Maria Bolton, Sue Bolton, and Edward Henry Tucker.","This subseries is made up of artifacts, everyday tools, and jewelry owned by the Tucker family of Bermuda and the Taliaferro-Bolton families of Richmond, Virginia.","A set of hair pick combs used by women from the Tucker family in the 19th century.","A small pendant carved by an unidentified member of the Tucker family while a prisoner of war during the Second Boer War (1899-1902).","This subseries consists of textiles and fabric materials owned by the Tucker family of Bermuda and the Taliaferro-Bolton family of Richmond, Virginia. Fragments of larger garments make up the bulk of the subseries, primarily of women's or children's clothing. These fragments lack provenance and their original ownership is unknown beyond that of the Tucker and Taliaferro-Bolton families. Other items include doilies, tablecloths, and woven pouches, all roughly dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. These textiles provide some information regarding the types of textiles used by the Tuckers and Taliaferro-Boltons in everyday life, as well as providing insight into the families' sentimental valuation placed on retaining fragments of old garments.","Before reproducing or quoting from any materials, in whole or in part, permission must be obtained from the Special Collections Research Center, and the holder of the copyright, if not Swem Library.","Special Collections Research Center","Bolton","Tucker","Tucker, Wendy Sue","Tucker, Teddy (Edward Bolton), 1825-2014","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MS 00240","/repositories/2/resources/8073"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker Papers"],"collection_title_tesim":["Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker Papers"],"collection_ssim":["Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker Papers"],"repository_ssm":["College of William and Mary"],"repository_ssim":["College of William and Mary"],"geogname_ssm":["Bermuda Island (Bermuda Islands)"],"geogname_ssim":["Bermuda Island (Bermuda Islands)"],"creator_ssm":["Tucker, Wendy Sue","Tucker, Teddy (Edward Bolton), 1825-2014","Bolton","Tucker"],"creator_ssim":["Tucker, Wendy Sue","Tucker, Teddy (Edward Bolton), 1825-2014","Bolton","Tucker"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Tucker, Wendy Sue","Tucker, Teddy (Edward Bolton), 1825-2014"],"creator_famname_ssim":["Bolton","Tucker"],"creators_ssim":["Tucker, Wendy Sue","Tucker, Teddy (Edward Bolton), 1825-2014","Bolton","Tucker"],"places_ssim":["Bermuda Island (Bermuda Islands)"],"access_terms_ssm":["Before reproducing or quoting from any materials, in whole or in part, permission must be obtained from the Special Collections Research Center, and the holder of the copyright, if not Swem Library."],"access_subjects_ssim":["Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902","Underwater exploration"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902","Underwater exploration"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["20.0 Linear Feet"],"extent_tesim":["20.0 Linear Feet"],"date_range_isim":[1760,1761,1762,1763,1764,1765,1766,1767,1768,1769,1770,1771,1772,1773,1774,1775,1776,1777,1778,1779,1780,1781,1782,1783,1784,1785,1786,1787,1788,1789,1790,1791,1792,1793,1794,1795,1796,1797,1798,1799,1800,1801,1802,1803,1804,1805,1806,1807,1808,1809,1810,1811,1812,1813,1814,1815,1816,1817,1818,1819,1820,1821,1822,1823,1824,1825,1826,1827,1828,1829,1830,1831,1832,1833,1834,1835,1836,1837,1838,1839,1840,1841,1842,1843,1844,1845,1846,1847,1848,1849,1850,1851,1852,1853,1854,1855,1856,1857,1858,1859,1860,1861,1862,1863,1864,1865,1866,1867,1868,1869,1870,1871,1872,1873,1874,1875,1876,1877,1878,1879,1880,1881,1882,1883,1884,1885,1886,1887,1888,1889,1890,1891,1892,1893,1894,1895,1896,1897,1898,1899,1900,1901,1902,1903,1904,1905,1906,1907,1908,1909,1910,1911,1912,1913,1914,1915,1916,1917,1918,1919,1920,1921,1922,1923,1924,1925,1926,1927,1928,1929,1930,1931,1932,1933,1934,1935,1936,1937,1938,1939,1940,1941,1942,1943,1944,1945,1946,1947,1948,1949,1950,1951,1952,1953,1954,1955,1956,1957,1958,1959,1960,1961,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967,1968,1969,1970,1971,1972,1973,1974,1975,1976,1977,1978,1979,1980,1981,1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection is open to all researchers.

Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology.

","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities.

The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children.

He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died.

Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books.

The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles.

One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him.

Took possession against the enemy lines at dawn and were given orders to charge and drive the enemy from the position in which he occupied. Order was obeyed and we were victorious but at the expense of our best men. 1/3 of the men and 21 of 41 officers in our division were killed or wounded. Brother was shot down by a musket when within 10 feet if the enemy's 1st line of defense. Ball struck him just above the knee of his right leg (breaking it) and then he was struck down by a lance which ultimately killed him. During the long and bloody fight his sword and sash were stolen as well as the ring on his finger. He was buried the next morning in sight of the battlefield with the other 120 who fell with him. Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities. Enclosed are those items in addition to a letter from Col. Clark to General Worth about his death. R.W.

Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15.

The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eYoungest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.

Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026amp; 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year.

Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBrother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often.

One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him.

Caroline joined the Church Sunday before last. Yesterday Spotswood was baptized and it hurt that Mama wasn't there. Hope Brother J will be able to sell the colt to get the money so that Mama can take what she needs of it. Tried to collect money but failed and am tiring of death and debt. Mr. G and Mary are well. Expect Mama with Dr. S. and Lady. Write by Dr. S because he will return next Sunday.","Send copies of the letters contained in the St. Louis Republican. They were received today addressed to Uncle Armistead. City of Mexico, October 1, 1847 – particulars of Brother William's death. He was Aide to Col. Clark Commander of 2nd Brigade of Gen: Worth's Division. Morning of the 8th, they reported to Col. McIntosh. Col. Clark had been wounded at Churabusco. Took possession against the enemy lines at dawn and were given orders to charge and drive the enemy from the position in which he occupied. Order was obeyed and we were victorious but at the expense of our best men. 1/3 of the men and 21 of 41 officers in our division were killed or wounded. Brother was shot down by a musket when within 10 feet if the enemy's 1st line of defense. Ball struck him just above the knee of his right leg (breaking it) and then he was struck down by a lance which ultimately killed him. During the long and bloody fight his sword and sash were stolen as well as the ring on his finger. He was buried the next morning in sight of the battlefield with the other 120 who fell with him. Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities. Enclosed are those items in addition to a letter from Col. Clark to General Worth about his death. R.W. Kirkman cut locks of his hair and will send those in the trunk but enclosed are locks of hair that had been cut by the lance that killed him and were lying on the ground near him. Been with Burwell since the first of May and any further questions I would love to help. –R.W. Kirkham Adjt. 5th Infantry. Tacubaga, Mexico, September 10, 1847 – excellent qualities possessed by William T. Burwell. Beloved for his suavity and irreproachable manners. –N.G. Clark Col. 5th infantry.","Haven't heard from John since last September. Brother A. received a letter from Mary Papplan saying that Fanny had a daughter and Mary C. felt mortified because she didn't know. Mr. Catlett wrote about the birth of Willie but not with this new child. Mary C. is in Jackson Mississippi with Brother Armistead who has been there since October. Blair went to Texas in November and Powell is married and no longer needed Mary C.  She left Alabama in January with friends and visited New Orleans before coming back to Jackson. Randolph lives in New Orleans and Mary C. visited with him for 5 weeks and was pleased with his wife who is the daughter of Mr. Meade who was an old acquaintance. Mrs. Goodwyn from Virginia is a sister of Roberts wife was also there and stayed a fair amount of time as well. Bettie went to Mary G.'s wedding in St Louis and has yet to return.

Mr. Roberts tends to his plantation which is 4 miles from Cousin Sally's. Matilda Boyd is married to a brother of Ann's husband.","Pris gave birth to a son on July 30th and both are doing well. The assumption is that the child will be named Armistead. Fanny hasn't been feeling well and Mary C is worried about her. Hope Miss Lucy is better. Wishes for Fanny's mother to let her know who the minister is in Abingdon now. Powell is doing well and had another son named Armistead Thomas after the grandfathers. Blair is pleased with Texas where he is buying and selling stocks which he finds profitable, the nearest post office is in Goliad and he says the traveling agrees with him. Anne is in very bad spirits. Hugh is with Anne, but they are contemplating sending him to Uncle Landon because she does not want to send another child to Roman Catholic School. Caroline has a son born on July 8th that is named Bernard Gains after the Dr.'s father. Anna will be confined soon with her 11th child. Brother R sent his and his 2 boys, Armistead and Robert's, Daguerreotypes. Robert looks old. Brother A. is working on his river plantation. John is candidate for Clerk of the Senate. Feels solicitude for Frank and is anxious for John to send him to Powell until he is old enough for business. Visited Cousin Mary Barnet who lives in Yazoo City with her five children. In her most recent letter she wrote of losing her infant that was born when Mary C. visited.","Lady in Vicksburg had sensitivity to light but an eye doctor helped her and she can now read and work. The Doctor sees patients from all over the US. Brother Robert to visit if she doesn't go to Virginia over the summer. All is well with Mary. Blair is in good health and was about to start moving cattle from the Colorado River to Matagorda Bay and is expected to be gone 3 months. Hopes Fanny will see Dr. Farrar and has heard from Sister Anne that while he is in Richmond he would try to see Fanny. Won't be home until the last of June unless someone is going to Jackson. Armistead can't come and Mary C. doesn't want to burden Powell because he brought her. Pris's baby is ill with Whooping Cough. Bettie and the rest are well. Unsure about John not sending Frank to school. Miss Nancy P. and David Minge are married. If Charles Field lived in Rosewell, where is Mrs. Tabb Catlett. Powell, Margaret, and Cousin Mary Barnet (Randolph) send their love.","3rd son of Brother Armistead passed away at age 5 of Dysentery after the Measles. The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children. The baby is 13 months old and no bigger than a 6 month old. He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died. Brother Armistead has been unwell for 2 months with diarrhea. Concerned about Frank. Powell does not teach at home now; he is employed at an academy 3 miles from home where he teaches languages. Dr. Farrar expects Prince Edward will go to Philadelphia in March because he has a son that will graduate then. Brother Robert might come to visit this winter and if so she might go back with him. Pris sends love. Bettie is very busy and sends love. Miss Lucy's health is bad. Blair is still in Texas.","Thinking of writing Fanny for 10 years but have always out it off. Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.","State of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.  Uncle B joined the Presbyterian Church yesterday. Be at home about 4 days every month from cattle driving.","In Petersburg 3 weeks. Hugh came the Wednesday before Anne left and stayed one night because he had to go to Memphis where he expects to get a commission under the Confederate States in Col Bowen's regiment.

Letter from Cousin Mattie. Not a word from Spot. Hear from Hugh in an indirect way; he is in Kentucky near Columbus. Heard through General Meems that Uncle Armistead got over the river safely and is expected to get on without difficulty.","Sam died. Fell at the battle near Boonsborough, Maryland on Sunday the 14th. Thought to have initially died at Harper's Ferry but he wasn't near Harper's Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper's Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon's son, Maurice, who was Sam's aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.","School began the 1st of the month. Wife had an accident that confined her to her room for 2 weeks.

Maggie was ill but has since recovered and gone to Buller Clairborne's to visit. Hugh was in Richmond but was unable to see Mr. Catlett. Brother John received crops and they are a great help.","Hugh not hurt in the battle near Grand Gulf. Spotswood is doing well. University of Alabama closes on the 5th of June because of scarcity in provision, a month early. Because he has been there 2 semesters he is able to come home for break even though it is an expensive and dangerous trip. If he returns to university he will be the only senior.

She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.","State of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.  Uncle B joined the Presbyterian Church yesterday. Be at home about 4 days every month from cattle driving.","In Petersburg 3 weeks.

Thought to have initially died at Harper's Ferry but he wasn't near Harper's Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper's Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon's son, Maurice, who was Sam's aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.","School began the 1st of the month. Wife had an accident that confined her to her room for 2 weeks.

Maggie was ill but has since recovered and gone to Buller Clairborne's to visit. Hugh was in Richmond but was unable to see Mr. Catlett. Brother John received crops and they are a great help.","Hugh not hurt in the battle near Grand Gulf. Spotswood is doing well. University of Alabama closes on the 5th of June because of scarcity in provision, a month early.

Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen.

Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eYellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eFanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026amp; 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWorries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBrother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTrouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMoved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eUncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eRunning away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie.

Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBusy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread.

Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eComment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eState of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.

They were received today addressed to Uncle Armistead. City of Mexico, October 1, 1847 – particulars of Brother William's death. He was Aide to Col. Clark Commander of 2nd Brigade of Gen: Worth's Division. Morning of the 8th, they reported to Col. McIntosh. Col. Clark had been wounded at Churabusco. Took possession against the enemy lines at dawn and were given orders to charge and drive the enemy from the position in which he occupied. Order was obeyed and we were victorious but at the expense of our best men. 1/3 of the men and 21 of 41 officers in our division were killed or wounded. Brother was shot down by a musket when within 10 feet if the enemy's 1st line of defense.

During the long and bloody fight his sword and sash were stolen as well as the ring on his finger. He was buried the next morning in sight of the battlefield with the other 120 who fell with him. Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities.

Kirkman cut locks of his hair and will send those in the trunk but enclosed are locks of hair that had been cut by the lance that killed him and were lying on the ground near him.

The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children. The baby is 13 months old and no bigger than a 6 month old. He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died.

Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond.

No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen.

The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork.

Indenture Notices (Land Deeds)","Bushrod Washington (1762-1829): Bushrod was the son of Hannah Bushrod and John Augustine Washington, the younger brother of George Washington. Upon the death of Martha Washington, Bushrod inherited the Mount Vernon estate. A graduate of the College of William and Mary, Bushrod served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He was joined on the Supreme Court by his long-time friend, John Marshall. Justices Washington and Marshall  met while attending law lectures given by George Wythe at the College of William and Mary. Bushrod and his wife, Julia Ann Blackburn, had no children, but raised three of their nephews. One nephew, John Augustine Washington II (1789-1832), inherited Mount Vernon from Bushrod.","Purchased by the A. Alfred Taubman Acquisition Endowment Fund, 2011.","Additional manuscripts related to Bushrod Washington and his family can be found in the George Washington Collection, Martha Washington Collection, Historic Manuscript Collection, Elswyth Thane Beebe Collection of Washington Family Papers, and Potomac Navigation Company Records.","The Bushrod Washington Family Papers consist of documents gathered by the descendants of the first President of the United States, George Washington. The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).","The Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.","Of the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.","Legal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.","Bushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829. The American Bible Society and the Bunker Hill Monument Association were among the organizations in which Judge Washington was involved.","A formula for cement, mailed to the President of the United States, Mount Vernon, and recipes highlight the Miscellaneous series, 1795 and undated.","Some of the oldest material in the collection is found in the Indenture Notices (Land Deeds) series, 1662-1814. These documents relate the history of land ownership among the Bushrod and Washington families, as well as several of their neighbors and associates. While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series. Arranged chronologically, the Indenture Notices specify all the details of the transaction, including the amount of land, location, and purchase price.","Autograph letter signed \"Urbain Babier\" with integral address panel.

The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eOf the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eLegal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829.

While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series.

The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).","The Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.","Of the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.","Legal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.","Bushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829. The American Bible Society and the Bunker Hill Monument Association were among the organizations in which Judge Washington was involved.","A formula for cement, mailed to the President of the United States, Mount Vernon, and recipes highlight the Miscellaneous series, 1795 and undated.","Some of the oldest material in the collection is found in the Indenture Notices (Land Deeds) series, 1662-1814. These documents relate the history of land ownership among the Bushrod and Washington families, as well as several of their neighbors and associates. While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series. Arranged chronologically, the Indenture Notices specify all the details of the transaction, including the amount of land, location, and purchase price.","Autograph letter signed \"Urbain Babier\" with integral address panel.

Indenture Notices (Land Deeds)","Bushrod Washington (1762-1829): Bushrod was the son of Hannah Bushrod and John Augustine Washington, the younger brother of George Washington. Upon the death of Martha Washington, Bushrod inherited the Mount Vernon estate. A graduate of the College of William and Mary, Bushrod served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He was joined on the Supreme Court by his long-time friend, John Marshall. Justices Washington and Marshall  met while attending law lectures given by George Wythe at the College of William and Mary. Bushrod and his wife, Julia Ann Blackburn, had no children, but raised three of their nephews. One nephew, John Augustine Washington II (1789-1832), inherited Mount Vernon from Bushrod.","Purchased by the A. Alfred Taubman Acquisition Endowment Fund, 2011.","Additional manuscripts related to Bushrod Washington and his family can be found in the George Washington Collection, Martha Washington Collection, Historic Manuscript Collection, Elswyth Thane Beebe Collection of Washington Family Papers, and Potomac Navigation Company Records.","The Bushrod Washington Family Papers consist of documents gathered by the descendants of the first President of the United States, George Washington. The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).","The Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.","Of the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.","Legal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.","Bushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829. The American Bible Society and the Bunker Hill Monument Association were among the organizations in which Judge Washington was involved.","A formula for cement, mailed to the President of the United States, Mount Vernon, and recipes highlight the Miscellaneous series, 1795 and undated.","Some of the oldest material in the collection is found in the Indenture Notices (Land Deeds) series, 1662-1814. These documents relate the history of land ownership among the Bushrod and Washington families, as well as several of their neighbors and associates. While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series. Arranged chronologically, the Indenture Notices specify all the details of the transaction, including the amount of land, location, and purchase price.","Autograph letter signed \"Urbain Babier\" with integral address panel.

The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eOf the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eLegal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829.

While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series.

The collection comprises an assortment of correspondence and legal documents documenting the lives and property ownership of several branches of the Washington family. The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Legal Documents, Social, Miscellaneous, and Indenture Notices (Land Deeds).","The Correspondence series, circa 1780-1835, contains letters mostly written to Bushrod Washington, executor of George Washington's estate and inheritor of Mount Vernon. While some were written by friends of Bushrod Washington, most are from his brother and his many nieces and nephews.","Of the letters not written to Bushrod Washington, the largest portion were written by Bushrod Corbin Washington, his wife Anna Maria, and their daughter Hannah to their son, Cadet Thomas Washington, who was stationed in Middletown, Connecticut. Most often, when one of the three would pen a letter, the other two would add a quick greeting in whatever space remained. Among the famous Virginians with whom Bushrod Washington corresponded are Richard Channing Moore, George Spotswood, and George Wythe.\nAll of the letters are in alphabetical order by the last name of the correspondent, with undated materials at the end.","Legal Documents, 1719-1835, contains six subseries: Estate Matters, Financial Agreements, Land Disputes, Plats, Wills, and Other. Issues arising after the death of a family member can be found in the Estate Matters subseries. The estate of George Washington was perhaps the most disputed, with legal proceedings occurring thirty years following his death. Loans and sales of property are the focus of the Financial Agreements subseries. At least two family members were involved with land disputes over the years. The Land Disputes subseries records the disputes of Richard Bushrod and John Augustine Washington. Surveys, or Plats, were the primary tool for settling such disputes and can be found in the next subseries. The Wills of several family members provide data regarding the families' possessions. This subseries contains wills written by ten family members. In addition to household items and distribution of land, these wills also dictate the owners' desires regarding who would inherit slaves. Four other documents, not closely resembling any of the other legal pieces comprise their own subseries. When possible, all of the Legal Documents are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the creator.","Bushrod Washington, a well-respected Judge, was active in affairs aside from running his family estate. Evidence of these can be found in the Social series, 1816-1829. The American Bible Society and the Bunker Hill Monument Association were among the organizations in which Judge Washington was involved.","A formula for cement, mailed to the President of the United States, Mount Vernon, and recipes highlight the Miscellaneous series, 1795 and undated.","Some of the oldest material in the collection is found in the Indenture Notices (Land Deeds) series, 1662-1814. These documents relate the history of land ownership among the Bushrod and Washington families, as well as several of their neighbors and associates. While technically legal documents, the size of several of the deeds precludes their being stored alongside the papers of the Legal Documents series. Arranged chronologically, the Indenture Notices specify all the details of the transaction, including the amount of land, location, and purchase price.","Autograph letter signed \"Urbain Babier\" with integral address panel.

Cazenove (1807-1852 and 1851-1925), and his great grandfather Anthony Charles Cazenove (1775-1852).
