Bondurant and \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant were the chief\n         correspondents in this collection. \n          Alexander J.

His oldest son, \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant (1865-1937) was\n         professor of Latin and head of the graduate school of the \n          University of Mississippi .","Emily MacFarland Morrison (b. 1837) was\n         the daughter of Rev. \n          James Morrison and \n          Frances (Brown) Morrison of \n          Rockbridge County, Va. A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901. These contain some\n         information on agriculture and the culture of \n          Australia . Some of the letters from \n          Charles W. Dabney to \n          A.J. Bondurant (1881-1898) discuss iron\n         ore and mineral rights in \n          Virginia as well as agriculture.","The Civil War and its affects is another subject to be\n         found in the correspondence. Letters from \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant to \n          Alexander J. Bondurant mention her\n         brothers' war activities and posts (29 Jul, 8 Aug, and 11 Aug\n         1862; 6 [Apr] and 22 Apr 1863; 1 Mar, 28 Mar, 5 Apr 1865). A\n         13 May 1863 letter from \n          Thomas Lee Bondurant to \n          A.J.Bondurant mentions the reaction to the\n         death of General \n          Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson . Letters to \n          E.M. Bondurant from \n          A.J. Bondurant mention the war and his\n         desire to support the army (12 Apr, 27 Apr, 26 May 1863). Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865). Letters to Rev.\n          James Morrison mention the early rumblings\n         of the Civil War and rumors of secession (25 Jul, 20 Oct, 9\n         Nov, 4 Dec 1860), as well as letters from his sons telling of\n         their posts (20 Feb, 4 Dec 1863; 14 Jan, 21 May 1863).","Politics is also a prominent subject in some of the\n         correspondence. The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J. Morrison from Rev. \n          James Morrison (1820-1826) are concerned\n         with family matters, friends in the ministry, questions and\n         and advice about the ministry, the Presbytery and synods.\n         Letters to Rev. \n          James Morrison (1813-1863, n.d.) contain\n         many similar topics and include family letters and letters\n         from friends and relatives in the ministry.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

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. He was the son of Thomas Watkins of Chickahominy, VA. As a youth and young man, he was largely self-taught.

Black was a regimental surgeon and Apperson was a hospital steward under his command.","Harvey Black (1827-1888) was a native of Blacksburg and a grandson of town founder John Black. (Harvey Black did not use the e in his given name, but as an adult he regularly signed his name as H. Black and he was almost always identified publicly as Harvey Black.) After attending local schools, he began studying medicine under two local doctors. In 1847, he volunteered to serve in the Mexican War in the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers; three months later, he was made a hospital steward. He entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1848 and graduated in June 1849. That fall, he took a four-month journey, on horseback, from western Virginia through the upper Mid-West as far west as Iowa. He decided to settle in Blacksburg and opened a medical practice there in 1852.

The collection is divided into the following major series: Harvey Black Papers, Black Family Papers, Germanicus Kent Papers, Black Family Business Records, John S. Apperson Papers, Mary E.

The series comprises letters Black wrote to his wife Mary (Molly) in Blacksburg. Black usually wrote to his wife two to three days after a major battle and reported who, from Blacksburg, had been killed or wounded. He describes the effects of disease on the troops, looking for his brother-in-law Lewis Kent among the Union wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg, the delirium of Stonewall Jackson as he lay dying at Guinea Station, and the difficulties of keeping his family clothed and fed during the war.","The Diaries consist of a short diary Black kept of his journey from Christiansburg to Mexico to fight in the Mexican War and a diary of a four-month journey, on horseback, from western Virginia through West Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Tennessee in the fall of 1849. The Mexican War diary details Black's trip from Christiansburg to Norfolk and eventually Buena Vista, but provides little information about serving in the war. Both diaries contain mainly Black's observations about the towns and cities he passes through. The diary of the trip west compares culture and society in Virginia and the West and references encounters with Virginians who had moved west.","General Correspondence, 1847-1871, comprises two letters Black wrote while he was studying medicine at the University of Virginia, his proposal of marriage to Mary (Molly) Kent, and a folder of letters Black received from family members between 1848 and 1871.

Letters from Edwin Amiss to Arabella and Germanicus Kent pertain to Arabella Kent continuing to enslave people by inheriting her mother's estate.

Alexander Apperson worked at the Marion Foundry and Machine Works for a period and later moved to Birmingham, Alabama.","Germanicus Kent (1791-1861) and Arabella Amiss Kent (1809-1951), parents of Harvey Black's wife Mary, are also documented in this collection. Germanicus Kent was born in Suffield, Connecticut, and attended Yale College. Circa 1822, he moved to Huntsville, Alabama, and worked as a cotton merchant. In 1827, he married Arabella Amiss of Blacksburg. According to a family account, Germanicus Kent left Huntsville in 1834 at the insistence of his brother Aratus Kent, a missionary in Illinois who opposed slavery. Aratus Kent was a founder of Beloit and Rockford colleges in Illinois. The family moved to Illinois in 1834. Lewis Kent (also known as Lewis Lemon), who was enslaved by Germanicus Kent in North Carolina when he was a boy, moved with the family and later purchased his freedom and settled in Iowa. Germanicus Kent is considered a founder of the town of Rockford, Illinois, and served in the Illinois state legislature. Mary Kent, born in 1836, was the first child of European ancestry born in Rockford. The family returned to Arabella's hometown of Blacksburg in 1843.","Sources Glenn L.
