Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America.

These papers are\n         helpful in determining ownership of lands held by the Latane\n         Family, \n         Roane Family, \n         Allen Family, and \n         Dix Family. In addition, there are copies\n         of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n         families. The wills also contain references to the division of\n         blacks among the families.","There are also genealogical, military, and religious\n         material. The military papers, 1814-1828, pertain chiefly to\n         James Allen's career as captain in the Virginia militia and\n         include abstracts of forage, regimental orders, receipt for\n         arms, detailed returns of arms accoutrements, and rosters of\n         officers and other personnel. Among the miscellaneous papers\n         is a small group of material concerning religious matters,\n         particularly having to do with \n         South Farnham Parishin Essex County.\n         Included are a letter, December 17, 1716, from \n         Alexander Spotswoodto the vestry of the\n         parish re their decision to suspend \n         Lewis Latanefrom his ministerial office;\n         a hymn book belonging to \n         John Latane; and, two letters about the\n         weakening of the Church in Virginia.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

The collection contains correspondence, financial\n         and legal papers, printed material, and miscellaneous related\n         papers. Correspondence and business papers comprise the bulk\n         of the collection but there is a significant amount of\n         material relating to the operations of the Twelfth Virginia Militia Brigade from 1790\n         to 1842. A genealogy of the Leftwich family may be found in Campbell Chronicles and Family Sketches: Embracing the History of Campbell County, Virginia 1782-1926 by Ruth H. Early.","Leftwich was the son of \n          Augustine Leftwich (?-1795) and was born\n         in Bedford County, Virginia. His brothers included \n          James Leftwich,  \n          Jesse Leftwich,  \n          Augustine Leftwich Jr.,  and \n          Jabez Leftwich . His own son, \n          Jack Leftwich,  and five grandchildren are\n         mentioned in the family correspondence: \n          Joel B. Leftwich,  \n          Sarah A. Leftwich,  \n          Mary L. Leftwich (Fuqua),  \n          Ann Leftwich (Goode) and \n          Ethelinda Leftwich . Most of the\n         correspondence concerns local and family events. There is an\n         interesting group of letters between Joel B. Leftwich and his\n         friends concerning college life at Randolph-Macon College during the 1840's\n         and their perceptions of the women they were courting.","Correspondence concerning Virginia politics during the early\n         nineteenth century in Richmond (principally letters from Jabez\n         to Joel Leftwich) begins in the year 1806. One letter of\n         interest concerns the itinerary for the visit by the Marquis\n         de Lafayette in 1824. Leftwich, as were many of his Bedford neighbors, was a supporter of the old Whig Party; his correspondents include House of Delegates\n         member \n          William Campbell,  Senator \n          Isaac Otey,  \n          P. M. Goggin,  \n          Walter Taylor,  and General \n          Joseph Martin who discusses President \n          Thomas Jefferson 's opinion concerning the\n         maintaining of a standing army (April 17, 1803). Leftwich\n         himself served as a member of the Virginia General Assembly\n         and a few of his letters pertain to his legislative career as\n         represented by an April 4, 1841 letter to President \n          John Tyler recommending the appointment of\n          William Norvell as U.S. consul at Rio de Janeiro.","Also present are several writings and speeches by Leftwich\n         on a variety of subjects including the Revolutionary War, and\n         the need for religious conversion of Indians. Joel B. Leftwich\n         was a member of a debating society and his speeches on\n         temperance, good memory, and other topics are present in these\n         papers. Leftwich himself subscribed to Niles Weekly Register\n         and several issues from 1815 to 1839 are present in this\n         collection. Of special interest are manuscript notes on the\n         Virginia Convention called for the purpose of ratifying the\n         Federal Constitution in June 1788; these notes consist of\n         remarks made by such participants as Patrick Henry and James\n         Madison.","The financial and legal aspects of Leftwich's life had two\n         major components: as a gentleman farmer and horse breeder and\n         as a justice of the peace for Bedford County. Bills and receipts from\n         1789 to 1843 are in the collection along with tax statements\n         for several members of his family regarding horses and slaves.\n         Horses were of great concern to the family and there are\n         numerous mentions in the correspondence on their trade,\n         breeding, and racing. There are several items pertaining to a\n         stud horse named \"Pilgrim\" which had been purchased in 1795\n         from \n          Daniel Nance of Lincoln County, North Carolina for the sum\n         of five hundred dollars. Other papers include a bill of sale\n         as to the horse's pedigree and a broadside attesting to his\n         value and price.","Tax statements for the year 1802 depict Joel Leftwich as\n         the owner of seven slaves for which he paid a tax of $13.90\n         (the tax for \"Pilgrim\" was ten dollars). Other documents\n         pertain to the hiring of his slaves, and legal dispensations\n         of them for the payment of debts, 1796-1826. Among these is a\n         complaint against a slave named \n          Bill who was owned by Jesse Leftwich. The\n         slave had shot a dog belonging to his owner's brother\n         Augustine and Joel Leftwich, as justice of the peace, issued a\n         warrant for his arrest. Legal documents including wills,\n         indentures, subpoenas, arrest warrants and other related\n         materials are in this group of papers. One group of letters\n         described the apprehension of a man believed to have been be\n         insane and of his transfer to a lunatic asylum. The remaining\n         items are primarily concerned with Leftwich's routine duties\n         as a justice of the peace.","Leftwich's military service is represented by militia\n         returns, muster rolls, general and brigade orders, drill\n         parade memorandum, and courts-martial papers. His brother,\n         Jabez, who later became a member of Congress, served with him\n         as a brigade inspector. Notable correspondents include \n          William Henry Harrison,  \n          William Barbour,  \n          Claiborne W. Gooch,  and \n          Richard Crooks . Leftwich began his\n         military career during the Revolutionary War when he enlisted\n         as an ensign and fought at the battles of Germantown, Camden, and Guilford Court House where he was wounded.\n         During the War of 1812 the Virginia militia was called to the\n         defense of Richmond following the burning of Washington, D.C.\n         on August 24, 1814. Upon the death of General Joseph Martin,\n         Leftwich was elected by the Virginia General Assembly as a\n         brigadier general of the Twelfth Brigade of militia which\n         consisted of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 43rd, 53rd, 64th, 91st, and\n         110th regiments. He commanded a force of militia under William\n         Henry Harrison, commander of the Army of the Northwest during\n         the war. A group of letters between the two men provides\n         information on a little-known event. Harrison apparently\n         ordered Leftwich to continue the building of an eight-acre\n         stockade on the Maumee River at Fort Meigs, Ohio. He disobeyed orders by\n         departing for home before Harrison's arrival and the fort's\n         completion. As a result, American forces were defeated near\n         the area but Leftwich's military career was undamaged.","In the correspondence for the 1820's and 1830's are\n         numerous invitations to Leftwich requesting his presence at\n         military dinners, barbecues, and honorary functions. In later\n         years Leftwich, a major general of militia, sought to have his\n         federal military pension increased and \n          William Leftwich Goggin,  a Whig who\n         represented a district in Bedford County in Congress,\n         presented a petition on his behalf to that body. General\n         Leftwich died on April 20, 1846, in Bedford County.","The collection is arranged chronologically in three series:\n         I. Military Papers, II.

A genealogy of the Leftwich family may be found in Campbell Chronicles and Family Sketches: Embracing the History of Campbell County, Virginia 1782-1926 by Ruth H. Early.","Leftwich was the son of \n          Augustine Leftwich (?-1795) and was born\n         in Bedford County, Virginia. His brothers included \n          James Leftwich,  \n          Jesse Leftwich,  \n          Augustine Leftwich Jr.,  and \n          Jabez Leftwich . His own son, \n          Jack Leftwich,  and five grandchildren are\n         mentioned in the family correspondence: \n          Joel B. Leftwich,  \n          Sarah A. Leftwich,  \n          Mary L. Leftwich (Fuqua),  \n          Ann Leftwich (Goode) and \n          Ethelinda Leftwich . Most of the\n         correspondence concerns local and family events. There is an\n         interesting group of letters between Joel B. Leftwich and his\n         friends concerning college life at Randolph-Macon College during the 1840's\n         and their perceptions of the women they were courting.","Correspondence concerning Virginia politics during the early\n         nineteenth century in Richmond (principally letters from Jabez\n         to Joel Leftwich) begins in the year 1806. One letter of\n         interest concerns the itinerary for the visit by the Marquis\n         de Lafayette in 1824. Leftwich, as were many of his Bedford neighbors, was a supporter of the old Whig Party; his correspondents include House of Delegates\n         member \n          William Campbell,  Senator \n          Isaac Otey,  \n          P. M. Goggin,  \n          Walter Taylor,  and General \n          Joseph Martin who discusses President \n          Thomas Jefferson 's opinion concerning the\n         maintaining of a standing army (April 17, 1803). Leftwich\n         himself served as a member of the Virginia General Assembly\n         and a few of his letters pertain to his legislative career as\n         represented by an April 4, 1841 letter to President \n          John Tyler recommending the appointment of\n          William Norvell as U.S. consul at Rio de Janeiro.","Also present are several writings and speeches by Leftwich\n         on a variety of subjects including the Revolutionary War, and\n         the need for religious conversion of Indians. Joel B. Leftwich\n         was a member of a debating society and his speeches on\n         temperance, good memory, and other topics are present in these\n         papers. Leftwich himself subscribed to Niles Weekly Register\n         and several issues from 1815 to 1839 are present in this\n         collection. Of special interest are manuscript notes on the\n         Virginia Convention called for the purpose of ratifying the\n         Federal Constitution in June 1788; these notes consist of\n         remarks made by such participants as Patrick Henry and James\n         Madison.","The financial and legal aspects of Leftwich's life had two\n         major components: as a gentleman farmer and horse breeder and\n         as a justice of the peace for Bedford County. Bills and receipts from\n         1789 to 1843 are in the collection along with tax statements\n         for several members of his family regarding horses and slaves.\n         Horses were of great concern to the family and there are\n         numerous mentions in the correspondence on their trade,\n         breeding, and racing. There are several items pertaining to a\n         stud horse named \"Pilgrim\" which had been purchased in 1795\n         from \n          Daniel Nance of Lincoln County, North Carolina for the sum\n         of five hundred dollars. Other papers include a bill of sale\n         as to the horse's pedigree and a broadside attesting to his\n         value and price.","Tax statements for the year 1802 depict Joel Leftwich as\n         the owner of seven slaves for which he paid a tax of $13.90\n         (the tax for \"Pilgrim\" was ten dollars). Other documents\n         pertain to the hiring of his slaves, and legal dispensations\n         of them for the payment of debts, 1796-1826. Among these is a\n         complaint against a slave named \n          Bill who was owned by Jesse Leftwich. The\n         slave had shot a dog belonging to his owner's brother\n         Augustine and Joel Leftwich, as justice of the peace, issued a\n         warrant for his arrest. Legal documents including wills,\n         indentures, subpoenas, arrest warrants and other related\n         materials are in this group of papers. One group of letters\n         described the apprehension of a man believed to have been be\n         insane and of his transfer to a lunatic asylum. The remaining\n         items are primarily concerned with Leftwich's routine duties\n         as a justice of the peace.","Leftwich's military service is represented by militia\n         returns, muster rolls, general and brigade orders, drill\n         parade memorandum, and courts-martial papers. His brother,\n         Jabez, who later became a member of Congress, served with him\n         as a brigade inspector. Notable correspondents include \n          William Henry Harrison,  \n          William Barbour,  \n          Claiborne W. Gooch,  and \n          Richard Crooks . Leftwich began his\n         military career during the Revolutionary War when he enlisted\n         as an ensign and fought at the battles of Germantown, Camden, and Guilford Court House where he was wounded.\n         During the War of 1812 the Virginia militia was called to the\n         defense of Richmond following the burning of Washington, D.C.\n         on August 24, 1814. Upon the death of General Joseph Martin,\n         Leftwich was elected by the Virginia General Assembly as a\n         brigadier general of the Twelfth Brigade of militia which\n         consisted of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 43rd, 53rd, 64th, 91st, and\n         110th regiments. He commanded a force of militia under William\n         Henry Harrison, commander of the Army of the Northwest during\n         the war. A group of letters between the two men provides\n         information on a little-known event. Harrison apparently\n         ordered Leftwich to continue the building of an eight-acre\n         stockade on the Maumee River at Fort Meigs, Ohio. He disobeyed orders by\n         departing for home before Harrison's arrival and the fort's\n         completion. As a result, American forces were defeated near\n         the area but Leftwich's military career was undamaged.","In the correspondence for the 1820's and 1830's are\n         numerous invitations to Leftwich requesting his presence at\n         military dinners, barbecues, and honorary functions. In later\n         years Leftwich, a major general of militia, sought to have his\n         federal military pension increased and \n          William Leftwich Goggin,  a Whig who\n         represented a district in Bedford County in Congress,\n         presented a petition on his behalf to that body. General\n         Leftwich died on April 20, 1846, in Bedford County.","The collection is arranged chronologically in three series:\n         I. Military Papers, II.

Included are\n         correspondence, business and legal papers, papers re military\n         and religious matters, school notebooks, and certificates of\n         graduation from schools at the \n         University of Virginia.","Although little seems to be known or published about the\n         Latane family, valuable information may be found in \n         Parson Latane 1672-1732by Lucy Temple Latane (Mss CS71.L347 1936); \n         Essex County, Virginia: Its Historic Homes,\n            Landmarks and Traditionsedited by Essex County Woman's Club (F232.E7E7 1940);\n         and, \n         Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of\n            Essex County, Virginia 1608-1984by James B.

Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America. In a letter of January 13, 1730, Henry is\n         \"impatient to know what the fate of Europe whether warr or\n         Peace everything seems to tend to a Crisis ...,\" possibly\n         referring to the trade conflict between England and Spain.","After her husband's death in 1732, Mary (Deane) Latane\n         managed the property that came to her and her children, with\n         the help of her cousin, \n         William Beverley(1698-1756). There are\n         several letters, 1733-1750, from Beverley discussing the\n         settlement of her husband's estate and the sale of her\n         tobacco. In addition, there are business correspondence, bills\n         of lading, invoices, and other papers concerning the sale of\n         tobacco.","Letters of interest include correspondence of \n         Spencer Roane(1762-1822), King and Queen\n         County, and \n         William Latane(1750-1811), Essex County,\n         July 1791-August 1792, concerning the deed and survey for the\n         \"Mount Clement Trail of Land,\" and another on July 25, 1804 re\n         the suit of Braxton vs Roane; letters on April 19, 1825, June\n         13, 1826, and November 18, 1826, from \n         James Montague, \n         Harden County, Kentucky, to friends in\n         Essex County, concerning various aspects of life in Kentucky\n         such as the conflict between anti-relief and relief parties,\n         tobacco sales, and prices of corn, flour, cotton, whiskey, et\n         al.; one on June 9, 1854, from Rev. \n         Henry W.

Watson, Bracketts, to \n         Julia A. Holladay, Botetourt County,\n         mentioning the poisoning of some children by a black\n         woman.","The business papers are comprised of accounts and\n         administrative and estate papers as well as general\n         correspondence and papers.

In addition, there are copies\n         of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n         families.

There is also a list from 1826\n         which lists all the slaves on the \n         Lewis Familyfarm in that year.","The tax records kept by Lewis chronicle the growth of\n         Lewis' plantation. The records cover the years from 1801-1835\n         and detail the exact acreage Lewis owned, the number of slaves\n         living on his land, number and types of livestock and\n         carriages possessed and often the name of the tax collector\n         himself.","Accounts in the business papers of both Lewis and Haile\n         detail the dealings of these men with several merchants and\n         agents, including \n         Reuben Thom, \n         John Belfield, \n         Critcher and Parker, \n         Dobyns and Croxton, \n         R.P.

The bills detail all services performed by the\n         doctor, including treatment for slaves and members of the\n         households.
