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.

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.

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.","There 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.","Andrew 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 the son of Francis Watkins (see prior account book) \u0026 Agnes Woodson Watkins. He attended Hampden-Sydney, Washington College, Princeton A.B. and William \u0026 Mary for law. He was later on the Board of Trustees for Hampden-Sydney College. He was married to Agnes Venable daughter of Samuel Woodson and Mary nee' Carrington Venable. He conducted a law school from his home and had an extensive political career. 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.
