Bondurant and \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant were the chief\n         correspondents in this collection. \n          Alexander J. Bondurant (1836-1910) was a \n          Confederate soldier, farmer, politician,\n         superintendent of \n          Buckingham County, Va. schools, professor\n         of agriculture at \n          Auburn University , and tobacco consultant\n         to the government of \n          Australia . His father, \n          Thomas Moseley Bondurant (1797-1862), was\n         a landowner, member of the board of trustees of \n          Hampden-Sydney College , a soldier in the\n         War of 1812, a member of the \n          Virginia Senate , and one of the founders\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig . His oldest son, \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant (1865-1937) was\n         professor of Latin and head of the graduate school of the \n          University of Mississippi .","Emily MacFarland Morrison (b. 1837) was\n         the daughter of Rev. \n          James Morrison and \n          Frances (Brown) Morrison of \n          Rockbridge County, Va. A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901. These contain some\n         information on agriculture and the culture of \n          Australia . Some of the letters from \n          Charles W. Dabney to \n          A.J. Bondurant (1881-1898) discuss iron\n         ore and mineral rights in \n          Virginia as well as agriculture.","The Civil War and its affects is another subject to be\n         found in the correspondence. Letters from \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant to \n          Alexander J. Bondurant mention her\n         brothers' war activities and posts (29 Jul, 8 Aug, and 11 Aug\n         1862; 6 [Apr] and 22 Apr 1863; 1 Mar, 28 Mar, 5 Apr 1865). A\n         13 May 1863 letter from \n          Thomas Lee Bondurant to \n          A.J.Bondurant mentions the reaction to the\n         death of General \n          Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson . Letters to \n          E.M. Bondurant from \n          A.J. Bondurant mention the war and his\n         desire to support the army (12 Apr, 27 Apr, 26 May 1863). Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865). Letters to Rev.\n          James Morrison mention the early rumblings\n         of the Civil War and rumors of secession (25 Jul, 20 Oct, 9\n         Nov, 4 Dec 1860), as well as letters from his sons telling of\n         their posts (20 Feb, 4 Dec 1863; 14 Jan, 21 May 1863).","Politics is also a prominent subject in some of the\n         correspondence. The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J. Morrison from Rev. \n          James Morrison (1820-1826) are concerned\n         with family matters, friends in the ministry, questions and\n         and advice about the ministry, the Presbytery and synods.\n         Letters to Rev. \n          James Morrison (1813-1863, n.d.) contain\n         many similar topics and include family letters and letters\n         from friends and relatives in the ministry.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

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).

The Oyster Industry Protection Correspondence contains\n            much correspondence from \n             William Ellinger of \n             Fox Island, Virginia, who describes\n            himself as an oyster planter. Printed material consists of\n            death notices for \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey men, \n             Richard D.

The three \n             Baylor family ledgers, 1719-1755, contain\n            many references to the purchase of slaves (see\n            addendum).","The papers of the \n             Baylor family of \"Newmarket,\" \n             Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia, contain ca.\n            2000 items (11 Hollinger boxes, 4.5 linear feet),\n            1653-1915, and consist of correspondence, legal and\n            financial papers, ledgers, genealogical material, students\n            notebooks and bound volumes, scrapbooks, photographs, a\n            diary, literary compositions, military papers pertaining to\n            the Revolutionary War, newsclippings, the records of James Bowen Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and miscellaneous papers.","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).

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 series containing the papers of \n             James B. Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey consists of the financial records of the\n            survey teams led by \n             John Baylor, circular letters from the\n            home office in \n             Washington, D.C., the official\n            correspondence and reports of \n             John Baylor, photographs, printed\n            material, \n             United States government property\n            inventories, and bound volumes. \n                James Bowen Baylor (1849-1924)\n            graduated with an engineering degree from the \n             University of Virginia in 1872 and was\n            appointed an aid in the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey\n            Department in 1874, continuing to work as a field\n            agent throughout his career.

The Oyster Industry Protection Correspondence contains\n            much correspondence from \n             William Ellinger of \n             Fox Island, Virginia, who describes\n            himself as an oyster planter. Printed material consists of\n            death notices for \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey men, \n             Richard D.

Oversize items include a survey of the lands of \n             John Roy Baylor (June 1847),\n            photographs of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey, and a printed plan of the fairgrounds of\n            the \n             Virginia State Agricultural Society, \n             Richmond, 1854. The three \n             Baylor family ledgers, 1719-1755, contain\n            many references to the purchase of slaves (see\n            addendum).","The papers of the \n             Baylor family of \"Newmarket,\" \n             Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia, contain ca.\n            2000 items (11 Hollinger boxes, 4.5 linear feet),\n            1653-1915, and consist of correspondence, legal and\n            financial papers, ledgers, genealogical material, students\n            notebooks and bound volumes, scrapbooks, photographs, a\n            diary, literary compositions, military papers pertaining to\n            the Revolutionary War, newsclippings, the records of James Bowen Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and miscellaneous papers.","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.
