Venable Jr. (1806-1841) and Magdalene McCampbell (1807-1856). His grandfather was Richard N. Venable Sr. (1763-1838) who was one of the sons of Nathaniel Venable (1733-1804), one of the founders of Hampden-Sydney College and the original builder and owner of Slate Hill. The Slate Hill house and plantation was passed to Richard N. Venable Sr. after Nathaniel died and he passed it down to his son Richard N. Venable Jr. When John's father died, the Slate Hill house and plantation was inherited by his brother Henry Venable (1835-1861) but he did not have the property long before he died in the beginning of the Civil War which left the property to John. John and his wife Bettie (1835-1932) never had any children so after John passed, the property went to his other brother, Richard Morton Venable (1839-1910). John was also served in the Civil War, a member of the 21st Virginia Infantry and his resignation was accepted by the Secretary of War on 22 December 1863.","Richard N. Venable was born in 1763 and died in 1838. He is the son of Nathaniel Venable Sr., who was one of the founding fathers of Hampden-Sydney College. After Nathaniel died, Richard inherited the main house on the Slate Hill Plantation, which was later demolished in 1971. He was on the Hampden-Sidney College Board of Trustees for many years after he was elected in 1792. He was the treasurer of the college from May 1813 to April 1832. In his 20s, he fought in the Revolutionary war, rising to the rank of Lieutenant, but as an adult he was a lawyer and politician, serving as a Virginia State Senator.","William L. Venable was born in 1780 and died in 1824. He was the son of Nathaniel Venable Sr. of the Slate Hill Plantation, brother to Richard N. Venable (from the prior account book), a planter, a merchant, and a trustee of Hampden-Sydney College. The entries in the account book begin after the 1840s so it is believed to have been used by William's son, Thomas Franklin Venable (1812-1881) who was also a merchant and planter. He attended Hampden-Sydney College and lived on the College grounds for some time in what eventually became known as the \"Thornton House.\"","\tThere are two sections of this account with two different owners. The first section is the accounting portion which belonged to Richard Nathaniel Venable who was born in 1763 and died in 1836. He was the son of Nathaniel Venable Sr., who was one of the founding fathers of Hampden-Sydney College. After Nathaniel died, Richard inherited the main house on the Slate Hill Plantation, which was later demolished in 1971. He was graduated from Hampden-Sydney in 1782 and was on the Hampden-Sidney College Board of Trustees for many years after he was elected in 1792. He was the treasurer of the college from May 1813 to April 1832. In his 20s, he fought in the Revolutionary war, rising to the rank of Lieutenant, but as an adult he was a lawyer and politician, serving as a Virginia State Senator. ","After the accounting section, which regards the building of a church at Hampden-Sydney College, there is an essay portion that belonged to Richard Morton Venable. Richard M. Venable was born in 1839 and died in 1910. He is the grandson of Richard N. Venable, the original owner of the book, and he attended and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College in 1857. After leaving HSC, he went on to practice and teach law in Baltimore, MD. ","\tThere are two Andrew Reid Venables from the same era that this account book might have belonged to. Unfortunately, without further information on the item and a lack of personal information within the item, it is not currently possible to declare the right A. R. Venable that owned the item. With that being said, a brief history on both of them will be included. ","\nAndrew Reid Venable was born in 1830 and died in 1913. He served in the Civil War, was often referred to as Major Venable, and was a farmer. The other Andrew Reid Venable was born in 1832 and died in 1909. He also served in the Civil War, was referred to as Major Venable, and was also a farmer. Due to the fact that there were two Major Venables in the same area and around the same age, the younger Venable began going by Junior as a nickname. A.R.V. (1832-1909) also attended and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College. A.R.V. (1830-1913) was the grandson of Richard Nathaniel Venable (1763-1838) and A.R.V. (1832-1909) was the grandson of Samuel W. Venable (1756-1821). Their grandfathers, Richard and Samuel, were brothers, the sons of Nathaniel Venable (1733-1804).","Francis Watkins was born in 1745 and died in 1826.

During the Revolution he served on the Prince Edward Committee of Safety. After several years as Deputy Clerk for Prince Edward County he was elected Clerk of the Court in 1783. He was a founder of Hampden-Sydney College along with Nathaniel Venable and from 1776-1792 he served as a Trustee of the College.","Henry E. Watkins was born in 1782 and died in 1856.

He was a Commonwealth Attorney from 1810-1813, a member of the House of Delegates from 1812-1833, and a member of VA Senate from 1833-34. In 1818, he was on the commission to choose the site location for the University of VA. He served as a Captain in the War of 1812 and was involved with his company at the Battle of Bottom's Bridge.","This item was originally believed to have belonged to John A. Bowly but upon further inspection, it was found to have been split by two men, Henry Jacob and John Bowly, with the name of the from reading Jacob \u0026 Bowly.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","\nThe Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley. ","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series. ","\nResearchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book  General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","\nThe Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley. ","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series. ","\nResearchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book  General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E.

Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C.

Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.
