Please see the online collection here: http://catalog.mountvernon.org/digital/collection/p16829coll35","The original organization of the collection was item-level in chronological order. A card catalog was created for the collection with detailed information on each item. Later attempts to reorganize the collection led to its current arrangement. Correspondence, the bulk of the material, remained intact in chronological order but other records were pulled out and filed by content or subject matter, such as financial documents, appeals, etc.  The separated material was placed into series and subseries, and then filed chronologically. The correspondence series still holds several financial and administrative items that were never removed. The Early Records of the MVLA contains the following series:","Series 1. Administrative Records","Series 1.1. Administrative, General","Series 1.2. Governing Documents (Acts of Incorporation, Bylaws)","Series 1.3. Civil War","Series 1.4. Minutes of the Council","Series 1.5. Reports","Series 1.6. Wills \nSeries 2. Appeals","Series 2.1. Appeals of the MVLA","Series 2.2. Appeals to States\nSeries 3. Financial Documents","Series 3.1.

Correspondence\nSeries 7. Bound Volumes\nSeries 8. Photographs","The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association (MVLA) was founded in 1853 by Ann Pamela Cunningham, the first Regent of the Association. The purpose of the MVLA was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to patriots and admirers who wanted to visit Washington's home and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, viewed the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two likeminded women, each one from a different state, to be Vice Regents of the MVLA. Together they aimed to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the Mansion, gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858, he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000.","For the next few years, the women of the MVLA endeavored to make other Americans aware of their quest to save Mount Vernon, often via newspaper articles and pamphlets, in order to raise enough money to purchase the property. As Regent, Ann Pamela Cunningham spearheaded these efforts, while the Vice Regents oversaw fundraising in their individual states. Their cause was soon interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War.  Mount Vernon's contentious location between Union and Confederate boundaries made it very difficult for potential visitors to travel there.  In spite of these unfavorable conditions, the Ladies of the MVLA continued to raise money for the care of Mount Vernon, and hosted hundreds of visitors including Union and Confederate troops. The post-war period brought other challenges, but the MVLA always maintained constant care and security of the historic areas at Mount Vernon.","Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization in the United States dedicated solely to historic preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of George Washington's Mount Vernon, while also opening the estate to visitors 365 days a year. Members of the MVLA continue under the structure designed by the first women who joined, operating as the executive board of this historic home with one Regent and over twenty Vice Regents, each from a different state. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion, outbuildings, gardens, and tomb of Washington, but also a Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and education center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, a food pavilion, and a restaurant.","The nucleus of this collection was created from papers given to the Association by Ann Pamela Cunningham around the time of her retirement as Regent. Several other Vice Regents followed her example and later donated their papers as well. These records were referred to as the \"Early Records\" since the time they were first established as an archival collection. A large portion of this collection is correspondence concerning the founding of the MVLA and the operation of Mount Vernon as a historic site. Other important resources are the appeals written by Ann Pamela Cunningham and the Vice Regents, governing documents, subscription or donation lists, printed material or publications, and bound volumes such as ledgers or scrapbooks. Individual items were added to the collection as they were acquired. The Early Records includes items dated 1852-1951, however the bulk of the material dates from 1858 to around 1880.","Material can be reproduced for study or personal use upon written approval from library staff.","Archives of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association","Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union","Harper \u0026 Brothers","Cunningham, Ann Pamela, 1816-1875","Comegys, Margaret Douglass, 1816-1888","Tracy, Sarah, 1820-1896","Laughton, Lily Macalester Berghmans, 1832-1891","Chace, Abby Wheaton Pearce","Jeffrey, Rosa Vertner, 1828-1894","Hudson, Susan Edwards Johnson, 1825-1913","Everett, Edward, 1794-1865","McWillie, Catherine Anderson, 1812-1873","Washington, John Augustine, III, 1821-1861","Morse, Margaretta Wederstrandt, 1816-1893","Greenough, Louisa Ingersoll, 1813-1891","Brown, David Paul, 1795-1872","Cutts, Mary Pepperell Sparhawk Jarvis, 1809-1879","Eve, Philoclea Edgeworth Casey, 1813-1889","Riggs, Janet Shedden, 1815-1871","Tiffey, S.W.","Craig, James Y., 1839-1926","Hollingsworth, John McHenry, 1823-1889","Halsted, Nancy Marsh, 1817-1891","Scott, Winfield, 1786-1866","McClellan, George B.

Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, viewed the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two likeminded women, each one from a different state, to be Vice Regents of the MVLA. Together they aimed to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the Mansion, gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association.

During the \n         Battle of New Market, where his brother\n         William was fatally wounded, he was a cadet private in Company\n         C and was detailed to serve in the artillery section of the \n         V.M.I. Corps. He continued in service\n         with the corps until the evacuation of \n         Richmondin April 1865. On January 22,\n         1865, a few days after being appointed a sergeant in Company\n         B, Charles wrote his father, asking his advice as to whether\n         or not he should resign \n         V.M.I.to join the army, and, if so, what\n         branch he should enter.","James Graham Tateentered \n         Emory and Henry Collegein 1859 and\n         remained until the spring of 186l. His letters during this\n         time were mostly concerned with school, family and friends in \n         Wythe County, and wanting news of the\n         \"ladies.\" On January 10, 1861, he wrote his brother John\n         mentioning that he wanted to finish school but that he\n         anticipated being called upon to fight soon. On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         Wythe Grayswhich later became \n         Company A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         Harper's Ferry, Virginiaabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         Camp Stevens, Berkeley County, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         Joseph E. Johnstonas the Confederates\n         evacuated \n         Harper's Ferry. The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         Virginia First Brigade, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \"Stonewall Brigade\"at the First \n         Bull RunCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \"Burkhart\"to help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         Francis Tomney. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         Staunton, Virginiaand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         First Battle of Kernstown, Virginia). It\n         was not until April 30 that \n         \"Stonewall\" Jacksonleft \n         Elk Runheading for \n         Staunton, which became a major part of\n         the \n         Shenandoah ValleyCampaign. During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \"Jeb\" Stuart's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         Kelly's Fordin late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         Port Royalto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         [the Rappahannock], only to find that\n         they had recrossed. At this time there had been a three-day\n         Federal expedition operating from \n         Bell Plainto Port Royal. In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         Bristoe Stationon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         Ambrose P. Hillwho had \"ordered only two\n         brigades\" to make the charge on General \n         George Gordon Meade's \n         Army of the Potomac. The following year, \n         James Graham Tatewas killed at \n         Shepherdstown, Virginiaon August 25.","William Hanson Tatebecame a cadet at the \n         Virginia Military Instituteon July 30,\n         1857, and was a member of the \n         Cadet Corps. While at \n         V.M.I., he wrote of living arrangements,\n         social activities, new cadet initiation, and news of family\n         and friends. In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         Richmondin February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         Richmondduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         Virginia Military Instituteat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         George Washingtonin the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858. In the fall of 1859 he became a\n         teacher at the \n         Anchor and Hope Academyas all \n         V.M.I.men were expected to serve some\n         time as teachers. Between October 1859 and June 1860, his\n         letters contained news of the school; and, on February 14,\n         1860, he mentioned a trip to Richmond being planned by \"Uncle\n         David\" [Squire \n         David Graham] and his father. During this\n         time he was on the muster roll of the \n         Wythe Grays, although his real military\n         service was in the \n         51st Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers.\n         He was elected First Lieutenant upon its organization in May\n         1861. On November 20, 1861, he described their retreat from \n         Cotton Hillwhich resulted in considerable\n         loss of property, General \n         John Buchanan Floyd's delay and retreat\n         tactics, and illness among the men. In May and June 1862, his\n         letters pertained to skirmishes in \n         Princeton, and mentioned Colonel \n         Gabriel Calvin Wharton, General \n         Henry Heth, General \n         [John Buchanan] Floyd, and General \n         Humphrey Marshall. Later, on August 26,\n         1863, he wrote of a visit to the \n         \"Stone Wall Brigade\"while at \n         Liberty Mills. In November 1863, in camp\n         near \n         Blountville, Tennessee, he wrote of his\n         command witnessing the execution of three deserters from the\n         Confederate Army, their orders to move toward \n         Knoxville, Tennesseeand rumors of \n         Knoxvillebeing captured by General \n         James Longstreet. During November 4-22\n         the siege of \n         Knoxvillewas underway, but the\n         Confederate Army was forced to retreat in early December. On\n         May 1, 1864, while encamped near his home, \n         Max Meadows, he wrote that it was his\n         duty to remain with his company while so close to their home.\n         Soon afterwards, on May 15th, he was killed in the Battle of \n         New Marketwhile leading a charge. At his\n         death he was Captain of \n         Company B, 51st Regiment, Wharton's\n         Brigade.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

During the \n         Battle of New Market, where his brother\n         William was fatally wounded, he was a cadet private in Company\n         C and was detailed to serve in the artillery section of the \n         V.M.I. Corps. He continued in service\n         with the corps until the evacuation of \n         Richmondin April 1865. On January 22,\n         1865, a few days after being appointed a sergeant in Company\n         B, Charles wrote his father, asking his advice as to whether\n         or not he should resign \n         V.M.I.to join the army, and, if so, what\n         branch he should enter.","James Graham Tateentered \n         Emory and Henry Collegein 1859 and\n         remained until the spring of 186l. His letters during this\n         time were mostly concerned with school, family and friends in \n         Wythe County, and wanting news of the\n         \"ladies.\" On January 10, 1861, he wrote his brother John\n         mentioning that he wanted to finish school but that he\n         anticipated being called upon to fight soon. On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         Wythe Grayswhich later became \n         Company A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         Harper's Ferry, Virginiaabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         Camp Stevens, Berkeley County, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         Joseph E. Johnstonas the Confederates\n         evacuated \n         Harper's Ferry. The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         Virginia First Brigade, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \"Stonewall Brigade\"at the First \n         Bull RunCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \"Burkhart\"to help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         Francis Tomney. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         Staunton, Virginiaand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         First Battle of Kernstown, Virginia). It\n         was not until April 30 that \n         \"Stonewall\" Jacksonleft \n         Elk Runheading for \n         Staunton, which became a major part of\n         the \n         Shenandoah ValleyCampaign. During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \"Jeb\" Stuart's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         Kelly's Fordin late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         Port Royalto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         [the Rappahannock], only to find that\n         they had recrossed. At this time there had been a three-day\n         Federal expedition operating from \n         Bell Plainto Port Royal. In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         Bristoe Stationon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         Ambrose P. Hillwho had \"ordered only two\n         brigades\" to make the charge on General \n         George Gordon Meade's \n         Army of the Potomac. The following year, \n         James Graham Tatewas killed at \n         Shepherdstown, Virginiaon August 25.","William Hanson Tatebecame a cadet at the \n         Virginia Military Instituteon July 30,\n         1857, and was a member of the \n         Cadet Corps. While at \n         V.M.I., he wrote of living arrangements,\n         social activities, new cadet initiation, and news of family\n         and friends. In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         Richmondin February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         Richmondduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         Virginia Military Instituteat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         George Washingtonin the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858. In the fall of 1859 he became a\n         teacher at the \n         Anchor and Hope Academyas all \n         V.M.I.men were expected to serve some\n         time as teachers. Between October 1859 and June 1860, his\n         letters contained news of the school; and, on February 14,\n         1860, he mentioned a trip to Richmond being planned by \"Uncle\n         David\" [Squire \n         David Graham] and his father. During this\n         time he was on the muster roll of the \n         Wythe Grays, although his real military\n         service was in the \n         51st Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers.\n         He was elected First Lieutenant upon its organization in May\n         1861. On November 20, 1861, he described their retreat from \n         Cotton Hillwhich resulted in considerable\n         loss of property, General \n         John Buchanan Floyd's delay and retreat\n         tactics, and illness among the men. In May and June 1862, his\n         letters pertained to skirmishes in \n         Princeton, and mentioned Colonel \n         Gabriel Calvin Wharton, General \n         Henry Heth, General \n         [John Buchanan] Floyd, and General \n         Humphrey Marshall. Later, on August 26,\n         1863, he wrote of a visit to the \n         \"Stone Wall Brigade\"while at \n         Liberty Mills. In November 1863, in camp\n         near \n         Blountville, Tennessee, he wrote of his\n         command witnessing the execution of three deserters from the\n         Confederate Army, their orders to move toward \n         Knoxville, Tennesseeand rumors of \n         Knoxvillebeing captured by General \n         James Longstreet. During November 4-22\n         the siege of \n         Knoxvillewas underway, but the\n         Confederate Army was forced to retreat in early December. On\n         May 1, 1864, while encamped near his home, \n         Max Meadows, he wrote that it was his\n         duty to remain with his company while so close to their home.\n         Soon afterwards, on May 15th, he was killed in the Battle of \n         New Marketwhile leading a charge.

On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eWythe Grays\u003c/corpname\u003ewhich later became \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eCompany A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia\u003c/corpname\u003e, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eHarper's Ferry, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003eabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Stevens, Berkeley County\u003c/geogname\u003e, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         \u003cpersname\u003eJoseph E.

The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia First Brigade\u003c/corpname\u003e, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003e\"Stonewall Brigade\"\u003c/corpname\u003eat the First \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eBull Run\u003c/geogname\u003eCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \u003cpersname\u003e\"Burkhart\"\u003c/persname\u003eto help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         \u003cpersname\u003eFrancis Tomney\u003c/persname\u003e. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eStaunton, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003eand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eFirst Battle of Kernstown, Virginia\u003c/corpname\u003e).

During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \u003cpersname\u003e\"Jeb\" Stuart\u003c/persname\u003e's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eKelly's Ford\u003c/geogname\u003ein late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePort Royal\u003c/geogname\u003eto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         \u003cgeogname\u003e[the Rappahannock]\u003c/geogname\u003e, only to find that\n         they had recrossed. At this time there had been a three-day\n         Federal expedition operating from \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eBell Plain\u003c/geogname\u003eto Port Royal. In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eBristoe Station\u003c/geogname\u003eon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         \u003cpersname\u003eAmbrose P.

While at \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eV.M.I.\u003c/corpname\u003e, he wrote of living arrangements,\n         social activities, new cadet initiation, and news of family\n         and friends. In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRichmond\u003c/geogname\u003ein February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRichmond\u003c/geogname\u003eduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia Military Institute\u003c/corpname\u003eat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         \u003cpersname\u003eGeorge Washington\u003c/persname\u003ein the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858.

In May and June 1862, his\n         letters pertained to skirmishes in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePrinceton\u003c/geogname\u003e, and mentioned Colonel \n         \u003cpersname\u003eGabriel Calvin Wharton\u003c/persname\u003e, General \n         \u003cpersname\u003eHenry Heth\u003c/persname\u003e, General \n         \u003cpersname\u003e[John Buchanan] Floyd\u003c/persname\u003e, and General \n         \u003cpersname\u003eHumphrey Marshall\u003c/persname\u003e.

The largest set of letters within the collection is comprised of the wartime letters of William H. Earhart, serving in Company B, 30th Virginia Sharpshooters Battalion, nearly all of these being addressed to wife Nancy Earhart. Also included are letters from Confederate soldiers James L. Cassell (51st Virginia Infantry), David Earhart (4th Virginia Infantry), and Thomas Johnson. Also included are several wartime letters from extended family members, relaying news of family and friends, as well as war news. Other letters within the series were written by family members who settled in Missouri and Texas and provide family news and discussions of local conditions and affairs. The series also includes a typed transcript of a letter from Samuel and Jane Shannon of Davidson County, North Carolina (now Tennessee), discussing road construction, conflicts with Native Americans, land transactions, and crop conditions.","Series II, Financial/Legal Papers: This series includes several deeds for properties held by the Earhart family, including land in Missouri. The series also includes receipts issued by local tax collectors and merchants to John Grayson, Lawrence Earhart, Nancy Earhart, and William H. Earhart. Arranged by document type, then alphabetically by recipient.","Series III, Photographs: Included in this small collection are four photographs: a studio portrait of Virginia Earhart Boykin, two snapshots likely of James Warren Earhart II (one with an older woman, possibly his mother) in military uniform; and a wedding photo identified on the reverse side as \"J. W. E. III\" (probably James Warren Earhart III).","Nancy Elvira Williams Earhart was born in Virginia on November 7, 1838. She married William H. Earhart, son of George and Nancy Taylor Earhart, who was born in Montgomery County, Virginia, on June 10, 1828. The Earharts resided at various times in the counties of Carroll, Montgomery, and Pulaski, Virginia. They had eight children: Lawrence (1860-1950), Mary (1862-1884), George Lee (1866-1906), Alexander (1868-1896), Lula (1870-1922), William (1872-1933), James (1874-1938), and Ada (1876-1890). During the Civil War, on May 23, 1863, William Earhart enlisted with the Confederate Army in Pulaski, Virginia, and served in Company B, 30th Battalion, Virginia Sharpshooters. He was taken prisoner on September 19, 1864, and was confined at Camp Chase, Ohio, and then sent to New Orleans, Louisiana, before being released. William H. Earhart died in Pulaski County, Virginia, on April 20, 1881; Nancy E. Earhart died in Montgomery County on February 6, 1918. Both were buried in Earhart Family Cemetery at Ellett (Montgomery County).","Nancy and William's youngest son James Warren Earhart (1874-1938) married Sallie Virginia Hays (1876-1972). The couple had several children, including Virginia Earhart Boykin (1907-1999), who married Edward Carrington Venable Boykin in 1961; and James Warren Earhart, Jr. (1909-2000), who married  Lucy Payne Waddell Earhart (1911-1985).","William H.
