These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n pertaining to the sojourn of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n England prior to and during the\n Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n Colonel \n John Baylor's son at school in \n Caius College, \n Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n intentions of returning to the \n United States (December 28, 1770); the\n advice of \n William Bond, a former teacher of \n John Baylor, for him to seek further\n educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n William Bond's request for \n John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n and to visit \n England (May 4, 1778); \n John Baylor's trip to \n England to wed his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n the Baylor's leaving \n England, and comments concerning the\n fashions and decadence of \n England (May 4, 1779).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America.","\n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General.","\n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team.","The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772).

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America.","\n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778.

Joseph Dickson (1749-1822) settled in what is now Greenbrier County, West Virginia, from Ireland by way of Pennsylvania in the 1770s. He received land grants originally from the King's land office in 1769, and later from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1785, 1789, and 1795 for property on Howard's Creek. His son, Robert Dickson (1795-1869?), inherited the land and built Locust Hill in 1833, now called Mountain Home. Robert Renick Dickson (1827-1888) and Henry Frazier Dickson (1841-1909), Robert Dickson's sons, inherited the land and in turn left it to their heirs. The Dicksons turned Mountain Home near White Sulphur Springs into a resort in the 1800s and early 1900s. The property and home were owned by the family until they were sold in 1968.","The guide to the Dickson Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Dickson Family Papers was completed prior to 2001.","The papers consist largely of land, property, and goods transaction receipts and documents of each of the four generations of the Dickson Family, who originally settled in what is now Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in the 1770s. Certificates, oaths, correspondence, deeds, and a diary are included in Joseph Dickson's papers, along with several sale documents for enslaved people from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Much of the land and goods and many of the enslaved people were exchanged with neighbors and others in the area. Most of Joseph Dickson's documents are individually described in this inventory. The papers of John Dickson (1737-1809, brother of Joseph Dickson), Robert Dickson, Robert Renick Dickson and Henry Frazier Dickson, and Geraldine Dickson Burrow (1879-1943, daughter of Henry Frazier Dickson), are grouped by type of material (for example, financial accounts, correspondence, and land deeds). Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him. The papers also include genealogy charts of the family.","Certificate asserting that Joseph Dickson was received in his parish and \"has behaved himself in a Verry prudent and exemplary manner,\" signed by M.

Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n pertaining to the sojourn of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n England prior to and during the\n Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n Colonel \n John Baylor's son at school in \n Caius College, \n Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n intentions of returning to the \n United States (December 28, 1770); the\n advice of \n William Bond, a former teacher of \n John Baylor, for him to seek further\n educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n William Bond's request for \n John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n and to visit \n England (May 4, 1778); \n John Baylor's trip to \n England to wed his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n the Baylor's leaving \n England, and comments concerning the\n fashions and decadence of \n England (May 4, 1779).

Other subjects of note include: the tobacco growing and\n export business (May 8, 1741; March 6, 1766; August 12,\n 1769; February 5, 1778; June 29, 1788; March 10, 1789; June\n 6, 1789; March 15, 1793; \u0026 February 5, 1790); iron and\n forge business (October 11, 1771; \u0026 April 13, 1774);\n horses and horse breeding (\"Sober John\"-October25, 1754;\n \"Fearnought\"-March 21, 1771; October 30, 1756; March 6,\n 1766; and July 17, 1800); and a discussion about whether\n the Spanish will allow free trade up the \n Mississippi River and \n Ohio River ([December 4], 1783). Several letters mention slaves and slavery. Among these\n are: slaves for sale (April 14, 1770; March 21, 1771;\n September 14, 1771; \u0026 June 19, 1811); mention of slave\n passes, a slave detained on the road for lack of one, and a\n visit of slaves with the family in \n Gloucester County, Virginia (July 12,\n 1813); the prices of slaves in the \n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory and prices of\n hire (November 28, 1816); and a letter from a Quaker, \n George Boone, of \n Berks County, Pennsylvania, attempting\n to verify that \n James Martin, a black man who claimed\n to have been born to free parents and wrongly sold as part\n of Colonel \n John Baylor's estate, was indeed a\n free black and not legally owned by \n Thomas Adams of \n Orange County, Virginia (August 12,\n 1818). There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor. This\n correspondence sheds some light on the attempts of\n Americans to educate their sons following the Revolution\n and includes: a discussion of \n Eton and \n Rugby and changes that have occurred at\n Cambridge (August 17, 1793); a\n suggestion to try \n Glasgow in \n Scotland (March 1, 1796); the\n possibility of using a tutor (February 27, 1797); terms to\n secure a tutor from \n England and his opinion of \n Eton (October 2, 1797); and a\n suggestion to use an American clergyman for a tutor (June\n 22, 1799 \u0026 June 30, 1800).

The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America.","\n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General.","\n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897).

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n pertaining to the sojourn of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n England prior to and during the\n Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n Colonel \n John Baylor's son at school in \n Caius College, \n Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n intentions of returning to the \n United States (December 28, 1770); the\n advice of \n William Bond, a former teacher of \n John Baylor, for him to seek further\n educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n William Bond's request for \n John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n and to visit \n England (May 4, 1778); \n John Baylor's trip to \n England to wed his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n the Baylor's leaving \n England, and comments concerning the\n fashions and decadence of \n England (May 4, 1779).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America.","\n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General.","\n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897).

He spent the last two years studying mathematics, which will never be of any service until he should become a teacher.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Ewell discusses family matters.

He will not go to Tennessee, but is grateful for the other.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Ewell thanks his uncle for his generosity, but doubts Mr. Ewell will let Richard come to him. Ewell will not stay in the Army. There is no chance to advance unless there is a war. He may go into Legal Studies, having ambition and political interest. However, lacking money, he may set other goals. The possibility of war with France might change the situation.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e(This letter is likely dated as 1836.

Ewell was not at West Point, nor Rebecca at Bladensburgh, in 1838.) \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin writes he has dispersed some pictures and kept only good ones. They discuss dyspepsia, a \"many headed monster\". The war with France has been averted. Lizinka enjoyed Washington too much for a girl so young. He was riding with a French lady when her horse bolted, which led to rumors of his elopment. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell writes that he cannot reconcile two laws, referring to the raising of troops. He asks which is valid. The answer by S. Bassett French, aide de camp, dated February 26, 1862, on back of sheet, notes that Virginia law rather than Congress is binding. If 20 in a camp reenlist, he will fill in the rest of the numbers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eNote: Map of Richmond and vicinity on back of letter.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin discusses the people and land of east Tennessee, as well as the Lousiana Volunteers. He says the Confederates will win if not greatly outnumbered. Uncle Dick should come; he is needed by the Army.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell notes that he is glad Uncle Dick didn't come. The Yankees grow bolder, stealing horses. He hopes the Yankees will not be hard on Williamsburg in consequence of new attacks.

It its destruction is truly important to success, Ewell would let it go down without a murmur.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell writes a letter of farewell to his family.

Louis should live in Europe, especially England. Lyzinka now in Nashville. If she meets General Hitchcock or Auger [?], ask Brown to be put with general officers. Get Ben to find his luggage and grandfather's sword. Though \"the performance of that wretch Booth\" will permit no indulgence for officers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMost of furniture gone.

People still don't realize condition, or future. If Yankees don't buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering? If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 \"wild boys from the West\" will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it. If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship.

Richard's health might be better if he led more active life. See a good doctor. Perhaps go to Europe till political crisis is over. Charges of treason are nonsense. If Negroes restored to former position, love and good will will return. People in Williamsburg not working to support themselves, need Yankees here [near?] for industry. Send notes of campaigns. Lee was not a great leader! Wants data to support this.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWill not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.

The war with France has been averted. Lizinka enjoyed Washington too much for a girl so young. He was riding with a French lady when her horse bolted, which led to rumors of his elopment. ","Ewell writes that he cannot reconcile two laws, referring to the raising of troops. He asks which is valid. The answer by S. Bassett French, aide de camp, dated February 26, 1862, on back of sheet, notes that Virginia law rather than Congress is binding.
