Col. White was involved in a number of\n         mercantile interests (up to some forty-five at one time) in\n         addition to the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Washington County. This\n         included business interests in the states of \n         Virginia, \n         Tennessee, \n         Alabama, and \n         Georgia, and investments in lead mines in\n         Wythe County, iron furnaces, cotton\n         plantations, and slaves. His property was worth at least\n         $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col. White's\n         business papers do not furnish a complete picture of any of\n         these interests.","Col. White moved to \n         Abingdon, Virginiaabout 1795. Prior to\n         his arrival there, White had worked for \n         Talbot, Jones \u0026 Company, a \n         Baltimoremerchandising house, who\n         supplied him with enough goods to set up his own business. He\n         married Miss \n         Eliza Wilsonin 1798 and began expanding\n         his business by becoming a partner of such men as Mr.\n         Henderson in \n         Abingdonand \n         William Lynnin \n         Alabama.","One of his most important business enterprises was the\n         leasing of the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Virginia, from the executors\n         of the \n         William Kingestate. Because the chain of\n         ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n         the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n         own involvement in the property.","General \n         Francis Prestonand his family had owned\n         the salt lick when \n         William King(1769-1808) purchased the\n         land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n         furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n         Preston Salinesuntil his death in 1808.\n         According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n         brother, \n         James King, \n         William Trigg, and \n         William King's wife, \n         Mary Trigg King, and their executors\n         until 1819, when it was leased to \n         John Sanders. Sanders sold his lease\n         rights to \n         James Whitewho leased the operations\n         until 1833. Other individuals leased this property until the\n         formation of the \n         Holston Salt \u0026 Plaster Companyin\n         1864. The \n         King Saltworksproduced from 90,000 to\n         100,000 bushels of salt per year. During the Civil War, it was\n         the largest supplier of salt to the Confederacy.","The business papers of Col. White contain several items\n         related to his salt interests including: papers concerning the\n         estate of \n         William Kingand the saltworks (October\n         27, 1820; May 14, 1821; April 3, June 7, \u0026 October 4,\n         1823; and September 1834); extracts from \n         John Hardies' disposition concerning salt\n         prices, 1824-1829 (April 7, 1829); and other legal papers\n         regarding the saltworks (May 26, 1830; September 8, 1831;\n         April 1833; November 7, 1834; March 12 \u0026 September 27,\n         1836; May 26, 1837; and August 15, 1838); a valuation of\n         buildings at \n         Saltville(undated) and a memorandum\n         regarding the account books at \n         Saltville(undated).","His business papers also include the balances on the \n         Saltvillebooks (1820-1835). Papers\n         concerning cotton shipments (1837-1838) and his other\n         mercantile interests (August 25, 1821 and April 16, 1835) are\n         present but do not adequately represent the extent of his\n         involvement.","The settlement of the estate of Col. \n         James Whitewas not completed until 1878\n         and the records in the second series show the extent of\n         White's assets at his death, especially the slave and land\n         inventories (ca. 1838), a notebook regarding the estate of \n         James White, 1843-1863, and a commonplace\n         book record of the division of his property (ca. 1851).","An inventory entitled \"Inventory and appraisement of the\n         personal property belonging to the estate of Col.

His property was worth at least\n         $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col.

Because the chain of\n         ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n         the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n         own involvement in the property.","General \n         Francis Prestonand his family had owned\n         the salt lick when \n         William King(1769-1808) purchased the\n         land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n         furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n         Preston Salinesuntil his death in 1808.\n         According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n         brother, \n         James King, \n         William Trigg, and \n         William King's wife, \n         Mary Trigg King, and their executors\n         until 1819, when it was leased to \n         John Sanders.

The collection\n         spans the years 1735 to 1942, but the bulk of the papers date\n         from ca. 1850 to 1890. Most of the papers relate to members of\n         the above families who lived in uffolk, with only a few papers\n         pertaining to the branch of the Prentis familywhich resided in \n          Williamsburg.","The personal papers in this collection consist of scattered\n         correspondence, financial papers, miscellaneous manuscripts,\n         memorabilia and printed material. The correspondence dates\n         from 1823 to 1939, and for the most part is made up of\n         invitations and calling cards received by members of the above\n         families.","The financial papers date from 1735 to 1887, and consist of\n         18th century tax receipts from land owned in Virginia, probably by the \n          Prentis family in Williamsburg; bills of exchange, bonds,\n         and bills of lading belonging to William Prentis, John Prentis, and Robert Prentis; and miscellaneous\n         financial papers of various members of the above families.","The miscellaneous manuscripts date from 1771 to 1888, with much of the material undated. These papers consist of poems,\n         quotations from books, songs, memoranda of children's birth\n         dates, lists of subscribers, compositions, gardening notes,\n         recipes, and other assorted papers. Of particular interest in\n         this section is the photocopy of a Civil War diary kept by \n          Joseph Prentis Webb, ca. 1862 to 1863.","The memorabilia is for the most part undated and\n         unidentified, and consists of such items as paper dolls,\n         silhouettes, and locks of hair. There is also a photograph of \n          \"Rose Hill,\" an early home of the \n          Allen family in \n          Suffolk. The printed material dates from\n         1774 to 1942, and is comprised of newspaper clippings,\n         programs, and advertisements. Of particular interest for local\n         history relating to this collection is a Sketch Book of \n          Suffolk, Virginia, dating from ca.\n         1886.","The professional papers of \n          Robert Riddick Prentis comprise the next\n         main series in this collection. These papers, mainly\n         correspondence and some related legal material, concern four\n         cases of estate settlement and other fiscal litigation handled\n         by Withers and Prentis, the Suffolk law firm in which \n          Robert R. Prentis was a partner. The\n         series dates from 1812 to 1887. \n          Robert R. Prentis (born 11 April 1818) was\n         the son of Joseph Prentis, Jr., who served as clerk\n         of the Circuit and County Courts for Suffolk, and surveyor and inspector of\n         the port of Suffolk, and Susan Caroline Riddick. \n          Robert R. Prentis served as mayor of Suffolk from 1883 to 1885, and practiced\n         as an attorney in the courts of Nansemond, Isle of Wight and \n          Southhampton counties, and the \n          United States District Court at \n          Norfolk.","A major portion of this collection consists of the\n         financial papers of Joseph Prentis Webb. Webb was the son of \n          Robert S. Webb and Margaret Susan (Prentis) Webb, the sister\n         of \n          Robert R. Prentis. He was born in \n          Suffolk on 30 October 1843, and served in\n         the \n          13th Virginia Cavalry with the \n          Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 to\n         1865, during which time he wrote the diary referred to\n         earlier. Immediately after the war he started a drug company\n         in Suffolk, and later expanded the business\n         to include paints, building supplies, books, stationery, and a\n         variety of other goods. He served as treasurer of the board of\n         vestry of  St. Paul's Episcopal Church in \n          Suffolk, a vice-president of the \n          Suffolk Y.M.C.A., and was treasurer of\n         the \n          Suffolk Street Railway Company (formerly\n         the \n          Suffolk Street Car Company).","Webb's papers, dating from 1838 to 1892, are financial and\n         legal records from his various business and service\n         activities. In addition to receipts, accounts, and\n         correspondence relating to his building supply contracts and\n         store, there are deeds, bonds, and other legal records of\n         property ownership, tax and license receipts, pension records,\n         receipts of dues paid the Knights of Huron, and records from Webb's other activities as listed above. Webb's papers extend to\n         within two months of his death on 27 December 1892.","In 1885, a fire swept through  Suffolk, destroying not only \n          Joseph P. Webb's store but the business of Darden and Eley. This dry goods and\n         hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n          Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n          Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n          Joseph Prentis Webb. Following the fire\n         the two businesses cooperated in building a new store on\n         Washington Square in  Suffolk to house them both. \n          Robert S. Eleydied in 1886, and the\n         business was carried on by \n          A. S. Darden who continued to build and\n         expand it in cooperation with Webb, and to divide the profits\n         from the business with \n          Eliza P. Eley (possibly the former \n          Eliza Jaekson (Prentis) Vickery), the\n         widow of \n          R. S. Eley.","The records of the business of \n          Darden and Eley form the last major series\n         in this collection. These papers, which date from 1867 to\n         1905, consist mainly of deeds, receipts, and accounts, and\n         chronicle the changes the business went through as a result of\n         the events related above. They include: store receipts of \n          Darden and Eley; deeds made by Darden,\n         Webb, Eley, and others; tax receipts; accounts from the\n         settlement of the estate of \n          R. S. Eley; and receipts and invoices\n         from the building of the new store.","The remainder of the collection is comprised of ledgers,\n         oversize materials, and Bible records. The ledgers and\n         oversize items are listed at the end of this guide. The\n         ledgers date from 1733 to 1907, and include court memoranda\n         books of \n          Joseph Prentis and an 18th century \n          Robert Prentis, various financial ledgers\n         and cashbooks, commonplace books, a diary of \n          Joseph P. Webb, and some pastoral\n         notebooks of the Reverend \n          James Murray. Papers formerly inserted in\n         the ledgers and photocopies made of fragile material in the\n         ledgers can also be found in this section. The oversize\n         material consists of six scattered items pulled from various\n         parts of the collection. The Bible records are electrostatic\n         copies of pages in Bibles of the \n          Allen family, the Darden- Allen- Webb-Prentis family, and the \n          Prentis-Riddick-Webb family, and they are filed in the Bible\n         transcripts tray in the Reading Room.
