The material is arranged alphabetically by topic and chronologically within individual folders. \n Bound volumes are boxed with the collection and are organized by subject matter and date.","One of the most famous mapmakers of the Civil War was Major Jedediah Hotchkiss, a topographical engineer on Confederate General Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson's staff. \n Some historians believe that Hotchkiss' accurate maps ensured the success of Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign.\n","Born in New York in 1828, Jed Hotchkiss moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia in 1847 where he earned his living as a schoolteacher. \n Hotchkiss also supplemented his income as a mining geologist and - though never formally trained as a cartographer - by making maps. He married a \n Pennsylvanian named Sara Ann Comfort in 1853 and they had two daughters. In 1859, Jed Hotchkiss and his brother Nelson founded the Loch Willow Academy, a school for boys, in Churchville.\n","\n Hotchkiss closed his school in June 1861 and began his military career drawing maps for Confederate General Robert Garnett in western Virginia. In 1862, he secured an appointment on Jackson's staff. \n \"I want you to make me a map of the Valley, from Harpers Ferry to Lexington,\" Jackson ordered Hotchkiss, \"showing all the points of offence and defence in those places.\" There were very \n few maps for Hotchkiss to use as a base for his own work, and he usually rode out on horseback to survey the land himself. The Hotchkiss-Jackson combination bred success, for the general's \n lightning strikes depended heavily on making the most of the terrain. After Jackson's death in 1863, Hotchkiss continued as a topographical engineer with the Confederate forces, traveling with \n General Richard Ewell to Gettysburg and then, back in Virginia, serving under General Jubal Early. It was one of Hotchkiss' maps that enabled Early to surprise the Federals at Cedar Creek in October 1864.\n","\n After the war ended in 1865, Hotchkiss returned to the Shenandoah Valley, opening an engineering firm and teaching school in Staunton, Virginia. In 1867, he wrote a book with a friend, Jackson's \n former chief of ordnance William Allen, entitled The Battlefields of Virginia: Chancellorsville. \n Hotchkiss died in January 1899 after a successful post-war career as a geologist and engineer.\n","The papers of Jedediah \"Jed\" Hotchkiss contain ca. 1550\n items (8 Hollinger boxes, ca. 3 linear feet), and consist\n largely of personal correspondence, bound volumes, and\n business records dating from 1846 to 1912. Included in the\n collection is material pertaining to Hotchkiss' career as a\n teacher and schoolmaster, his period of service under General \n Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson as a scout\n and map-maker during the Civil War, his later involvement in\n the mapping and development of \n West Virginia coalfields, and the settling\n of his estate. The collection also includes material\n pertaining to Hotchkiss' son-in-law, \n Samuel Thomas McCullough, who was a noted\n veteran of the \n Confederate States of America Army . These\n documents include correspondence, notes, and a set of diaries\n detailing McCullough's experiences in the Civil War. Other\n subjects of possible interest include the papers of the \n Confederate Monument Association of \n Staunton, Virginia and \n Augusta County, Virginia documents\n concerning a 1746 exploration of the \n Shenandoah Valley , and papers pertaining\n to Loch Willow School and Mossy Creek Academy.","Early correspondence in the collection is chiefly from members of Hotchkiss' immediate family, who remained in Windsor, New York , when he came to Virginia in 1847. In these letters, his mother and sisters discuss family matters and frequently express their disbelief that Hotchkiss could enjoy his life as a private tutor in the \"uncivilized\" South. Also among the early correspondence are several poems written by Hotchkiss, dated January 1, 1847; 1854; 1858; and August 7, 1859. The poems appear to be original, and are often addressed to friends.","In 1853, Jedediah Hotchkiss opened a private school in Augusta County, Virginia called \n Mossy Creek Academy , and married Sarah Comfort. In 1855 \n Ellen May \"Nellie\" Hotchkiss was born, and\n Anna Lydia Hotchkiss followed in 1857.\n Hotchkiss seems to have maintained a close relationship with\n his daughters (particularly with Ellen May, called Nellie)\n throughout his life. In September of 1859, Hotchkiss opened a\n second academy, \n Loch Willow School, near \n Staunton, Virginia. Correspondence and\n other records from this period are somewhat scanty, although\n some documents pertaining to \n Mossy Creek Academy and \n Loch Willow School have survived and may\n be found in a single folder along with other school\n records.","In June of 1861, Hotchkiss volunteered for the \n Confederate army, but was forced to return\n home a few months later when he became ill with typhoid. When,\n by March of 1862, he was recovered, Hotchkiss volunteered his\n services as a scout and map-maker to General \n Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson.\n Correspondence of the Civil War period is limited mostly to\n letters written by Hotchkiss to his young daughter Nellie. Of\n particular interest is a letter dated December 17, 1862, in\n which Hotchkiss describes the Battle of \n Fredricksburg and includes a detailed map\n of troops and terrain. Other letters written to Nellie during\n the war vividly describe life in the \n Confederate camps, and are dated January\n 25, March 27, and October 25, 1863. Included in the collection\n is a letter written to Brigadier General \n Edward Johnson by General \n Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson, dated May\n 4, 1862 and dealing with map-making commissions. Also included\n in the correspondence is a copy of a set of field notes made\n by Captain \n J. K. Boswell of the \n Confederate Army on May 1, 1863, at the\n Battle of \n Chancellorsville. These notes were taken\n from Boswell's body by Hotchkiss after the officer was killed\n in the fighting.","After the war, Hotchkiss returned to his family and briefly\n re-opened \n Loch Willow School, also teaching at \n Augusta Female Seminary, before becoming\n involved in business ventures involving the development of\n rich coal-fields in \n West Virginia. Hotchkiss also published a\n mining journal, The Virginias, in the hopes of generating\n interest in the natural resources of the region.","Later correspondence includes many letters to his daughter\n Nellie, as well as letters from friends and associates\n concerning his great interest in geology and geography. It was\n during this period that Hotchkiss was commissioned to make\n maps for many government and private organizations. Three\n letters from General \n Robert E. Lee, dated December 16, 1868;\n October 20, 1869, and December 24, 1869 are included in this\n material. They deal with Hotchkiss' maps of areas in \n Virginia. Later private correspondence\n often deals with reminiscences of the Civil War, and a letter\n dated July 5, 1895, written by Hotchkiss to the widow of \n \"Stonewall\" Jackson, concerns a biography\n of the late General. Also relating to the Civil War is an\n extensive series of correspondence between Hotchkiss and\n fellow veteran Dr. \n Hunter McGuire. These letters were mostly\n written between 1893 and 1898, and often deal with books and\n articles on Civil War battles, especially those in which\n General Jackson's forces were involved. This correspondence\n has been grouped together into one folder.","Other correspondence includes that of the family of\n Hotchkiss' second daughter \n Anna Lydia Hotchkiss, who marrried \n Allan M. Howison. Cards, some limited\n correspondence, various theatrical programmes, and two\n certificates, dated July 2, 1879 and June 7, 1881 concerning\n Howison's military career, make up this series. \n Allan Howison was later employed by\n Hotchkiss' mining company, \n \"The Grottoes.\" \n Jed Hotchkiss died on January 17, 1899,\n and the final group of correspondence deals with the\n settlement of his estate.","The financial and legal records of the Hotchkiss papers\n consist largely of documents pertaining to post-war business\n ventures, including map-making commissions, attempts to open\n up the coal regions of \n West Virginia, involvements in \n The Grottoes Company, two business trips\n to \n England in 1872 and 1873, The Virginias journal, and the settlement of Hotchkiss' estate, as well as general records of purchases and\n sales.","One folder contains the records of the \n Confederate Monument Association of Staunton and\n Augusta County. This group was organized in 1906\n with the purpose of establishing a memorial to local men who\n had been killed in the Civil War. Hotchkiss' daughter Anna\n Lydia was the recording secretary for the organization. The\n records include a 1906 circular letter explaining the purposes\n of the group, pamphlets of by-laws, various advertisements\n from monument companies and masons, and letters and souvenirs\n concerning fundraisers and statue unveilings. Photographs of \n Confederate monuments and statues,\n possibly from the organization's files, are located in a\n separate folder.","The Hotchkiss papers also includes a typed transcript entitled \"Running the line from the head of the Rappahannock to the head of the Potomac\" \n of the 1746 diary of Thomas Lewis concerning the establishment of the Fairfax line. There is a note by Hotchkiss signed an dated Oct. 1889 that states the transcription \n was \"copied and verified from original.\" The papers include a letter from William Cabell Rives, 1883 April 27, to Hotchkiss discussion Thomas Walker's journal; \n there is also a document [in Rives' hand?] summarizing Walker's journal from March 16 though July 12, 1750. There is also a typescript of a speech by Col. Stoddard Johnston \n on Walker's journal read before the Filson Club November 3, 1893.","One folder contains miscellaneous historical essays and\n speeches which appear to have been written mainly by \n Jed Hotchkiss and Dr. Hunter McGuire on such topics as Stonewall Jackson's Cap, The Seven Day's Fighting Around Richmond, The Shenandaoh Valley, The Form of Government in Virginia -A Geographical and Political Summary, and a memorial address delivered at London Park Cemetary, Baltimore,\n Maryland in 1875.","Two folders contain miscellaneous school and lecture notes\n for classes taught by Hotchkiss at \n Mossy Creek and \n Loch Willow schools. These are undated and\n deal with a wide variety of subjects. Also included are\n lectures for Sunday School classes and sermons. A third folder\n contains school records and related material, including\n documents pertaining to the education of \n Jed Hotchkiss at \n Windsor Academy in New York, and of \n Sarah Comfort Hotchkiss at the \n Wyoming Seminary. Also included are\n papers concerning Hotchkiss' career as a schoolmaster.","Photographs are to be found in two folders, one of which\n consists mostly of pictures of family members. The second\n folder contains photographs of statues and monuments\n associated with the \n Confederate Monument Association.\n Additional photographs (often of better quality) are located\n in the Prints File under such categories as \"Hotchkiss,\" \n \"Staunton\" and \n \"Augusta County.\" Of special interest are\n photographs, of Hotchkiss, his wife and daughters, their \n Staunton home \n \"The Oaks\", \n Loch Willow School, \n Mossy Creek Academy, and the \n Augusta Female Seminary, and a\n daguerrotype of Hotchkiss and his two daughters.","Material relating to \n Confederate soldier \n Samuel Thomas McCullough is to be found\n among the collection's correspondence and bound volumes. The\n correspondence has been grouped into one folder and dates from\n 1862 to 1865. This material consists largely of letters\n written by Lieutenant McCullough of \n Company D, 2nd Maryland Infantry\n Regiment, to his father and brother during his\n service in the \n Confederate Army and while a prisoner of\n war at \n Johnson's Island Prison in \n Ohio. Also included are items such as\n pay-master's receipts, authorization for leaves of absence,\n and documents from the prison on \n Johnson's Island. In addition to this\n material, the collection also includes a seven-volume set of\n diaries, which record McCullough's experiences as a soldier\n from August 11, 1862 to June 22, 1865. These diaries have been\n microfilmed (M-2373), and a separate, more\n detailed guide is available. Also in the collection are three\n small notebooks in which McCullough details an 1878 expedition\n to revisit many of the campsites and battlefields of his Civil\n War days. These notebooks are among the bound volumes of the \n Jed Hotchkiss papers.","Bound volumes make up a large percentage of the collection,\n consist mainly of miscellaneous hand-written notes. Three\n large letter-press books include business correspondence from\n 1891 to 1898. Four volumes of map-making notes, including a\n report on Buffalo Creek, Fayette County, West Virginia, and a book of maps of \n Augusta County, Virginia are included.\n Seven books contain business-related notes, and two of these\n volumes consist of subscription lists for The Virginias, ca. 1882. Eight additional bound\n volumes include personal notes such as diaries for the years\n 1845, 1895, and 1897, as well as Hotchkiss' Index Rerum (ca.\n 1854) and a notebook detailing the building of an addition to \n \"The Oaks\" in 1888. Six scrapbooks are\n part of the collection, and include a pressed-flower album, a\n forestry album, a small booklet of \n Virginia railway charts, and an album of\n newspaper clippings dating from approximately 1864 to 1885.\n Other scrapbooks include two albums belonging to Hotchkiss'\n wife Sarah Comfort Hotchkiss, and his daughter\n Nellie Hotchkiss McCullough. The former\n volume consists mainly of pictures and newspaper clippings,\n while the latter is an album of embroidery patterns. The seven\n Samuel Thomas McCullough Civil War diaries\n and three notebooks of his 1878 battlefield tour are among the\n bound volumes of the Hotchkiss collection.","An oversize folder contains several items related to the\n collection, including blueprints of Hotchkiss' \n Staunton home, \n \"The Oaks,\" architectural drawings, maps,\n large documents, and broadsides. A complete listing appears\n later in this guide.","Items of memorabilia include twenty-three\n souvenir ribbons relating to Confederate Veteran's\n Association functions and other events. Other items\n include an 1866 watercolor paint box belonging to \n Nellie Hotchkiss McCullough, a souvenir\n spoon from the birthplace of \"Stonewall\" Jackson, the \n Confederate belt-buckle and spur of an\n unidentified soldier killed at \n Fisher's Hill, Virginia, a pocket-knife\n used by Jed Hotchkiss from 1862 to 1868, an\n embroidered handkerchief belonging to \n Sarah Comfort Hotchkiss, and a lapel-pin\n featuring a mining symbol. The remainder of the memorabilia in\n the collection consists of eleven souvenir coins and medals\n ranging in date from 1883 to 1898. These coins and medals are\n from events such as Confederate monument unveilings and\n World's Fairs. A complete listing appears later in this\n guide.","Includes seven copies of two different original color prints of \"Mossy Creek Academy\"; original pen sketch of the Mossy Creek House; and \n a photograph of the Hotchkiss house, 346 E.

As could be expected,\n most of these letters contain plans for furnishing their new\n home, family news, and personal messages, all of which\n chronicles the growth of the \n Duke family .","The alphabetical miscellaneous correspondence file has\n letters from college, fraternity and Masonic friends, business\n associates, and other acquaintances and includes merchandise\n orders, requests for speaking engagements, business matters,\n literary concerns, letters of sympathy and personal news.","Letters of note in this group include the following\n correspondents and topics: \n S. A. Duke (Dec. 9, 1908) re\n reconstruction and \"the great negro question;\" \n A. Ranken Ford (Nov.23, 1914) re America's\n Civil War, \n England 's preparation for World War I and\n Germany 's spying activities prior to the\n war; \n George Gilmer (Jul. 28, 1918) re the\n important role of the \n Y.M.C.A. in keeping up the morale of the\n American soldier in \n Europe ; \n T. H. Harrison (Apr. 21 and Jun. 25, 1916)\n re Canadian involvement in World War I; \n H. C.

Duke, Jr. , \n Susan Harker Risdon and miscellaneous\n letters from friends and family, excluding her children.","A third subseries of correspondence consists of letters\n from \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. and \n Edith Duke to their children, Mr. and Mrs.\n R. T. W. Duke, Sr. and miscellaneous\n correspondents. Of note in this group is a volume of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. 's letters from \n Europe which contains transcripts of his\n letters home during his European tour of 1882. Duke describes\n his voyage over on a ship \"Egypt,\" his companions and\n acquaintances, his itinerary in \n England , \n Holland , \n Germany , \n Switzerland , and \n France , and the many museums, historic\n sites, and towns which he visited.","The fourth subseries contains letters to and from the\n children of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , including\n correspondence with their parents and with each other. The\n sons of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , Walker, Jack, and\n Eskridge, were all in the armed forces during World War I, and\n their letters that decribe camp life and their war experiences\n are in the correspondence to their parents, 1917-1919.","Jack \n (John Flavel) Duke was an Air Service\n officer stationed at \n Post Field, Sill, Oklahoma , and at \n Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas , and his\n correspondence, 1917-1919, and no date, describes his flying\n experiences. Although \n Eskridge Duke attended the \n U.S. Naval Academy preparatory school at \n Annapolis, Maryland and sailed as a\n midshipman on the U.S.S. Illinois from 1911-1913, he served\n during World War I in \n France as an army officer with the \n American Expeditionary Forces , from\n September of 1918 until May of 1919."," R. T. Walker Duke 's letters to his\n parents from 1908-1911 describe his experiences in \n Montana as a cowboy, his interest in\n homesteading, bronco riding, and his work as a printer. In\n 1917, Walker was assigned to the \n 5th Illinois Company , \n Ft. Sheridan, Illinois . His letters\n written during his service in \n Europe run from October 1918 to March\n 1919. After the conclusion of the war, Walker served with the \n Judge Advocate General Department in \n Washington, D.C. (letters to his parents,\n 1920-1925)."," Mary Duke 's letters to her parents,\n 1918-1926, and no date, describe her nursing experiences and\n other charitable work in the \n Archdeaconry of Southwest Virginia with\n Mrs. \n Hugh F. Binns at \n Nora, Dickinson County, Virginia .","Another interesting group of letters in this subseries are\n those of \n William Eskridge Duke, Jr. to his family\n and to his aunts, \n Mary Duke and \n Helen Duke . \n Bill Duke served in the navy during the\n Korean War and his letters describe the places which he\n visited on his tours of duty, such as \n Naples , \n Athens , \n Marseilles , \n Guam , and \n Yokosuka, Japan , 1949-1951.","The correspondence of the Duke brothers and sisters to each\n other consists almost entirely of carbons or originals of\n letters concerning the personal business transactions of the\n family. It also reveals the financial difficulties of various\n family members during the Depression years.","The \n Slaughter family correspondence comprises\n the fifth subseries of correspondence and contains letters to\n and from members of \n Edith Slaughter Duke 's family, including\n her parents, \n Mary Harker and \n John Flavel Slaughter, Sr. , and her\n brothers and sisters. The letters from Dr. \n Blanche Rosalie Slaughter Morton , a\n graduate of the \n Women's Medical College of\n Pennsylvania (1897) and practicing surgeon, form one\n of the most interesting sections of this correspondence. She\n describes her travels in \n Europe (May 11, September 19, and 24,\n 1899); her concern for the \n Lee family in \n China during the struggle of the\n Kuomintang with the warlords for political supremacy (March\n 29, 1927); her trip to \n Mexico (July 25, 1928) and the \n Middle East (November 4, 1935).","Most of the Slaughter correspondence concerns either\n business matters or family news with a few exceptions. \n Charles Slaughter, Sr. writes concerning a\n strike and riot in \n Duluth, Minnesota (July 7, 1889); \n Charles M. Harker, Sr. describes the\n meeting of the American Convention ( \n Know-Nothing Party ) in \n Philadelphia (June 10, 1855); Mary B[?]\n R[?]'s letters, 1861-1862, provide a woman's view of the Civil\n War; and \n Samuel Slaughter describes his trip to \n Ireland , \n Scotland , and \n England (July 24, August 1 \u0026 5, 1889).\n Members of the \n Garland family write concerning family news,\n Dr. \n [Erasmus] Darwin 's theory of the earth,\n and the significance of fossils, and General Hull's activities\n at \n Sandwich in \n Canada during the beginning of the War of\n 1812 (August 4, 1812); and a trip to \n Boston and \n Montreal (August 1 \u0026 11, 1851).","Of note among the miscellaneous correspondence are two\n letters from \n John Singleton Mosby , one to \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. (September 27, 1915)\n acknowledging Duke's letter of sympathy on the loss of Mosby's\n son, and another to Captain \n Sam Chapman (September 30, 1919)\n concerning the manifesto of the \"Stonewall Jackson Camp\" at \n Staunton about the role of Southern\n soldiers in the Civil War.","Also of interest are the letters, 1895-1954, from \n Mary Lee and \n Claude Lee , an Episcopal medical\n missionary family in \n Wisuh, China . They ran a hospital and\n dispensary from 1908 until ca. 1947. Although their letters\n reveal various aspects of missionary life and personal family\n news, they contain little of Chinese events. One letter by \n Claude Lee (October 13, 1918) speaks of\n the participation of the \n 8th Czecho-Slovak Regiment in a battle\n against the Bolsheviks in the \n Ural Mountains near \n [Tagelove ?], Russia , during World War\n I.","The last subseries of correspondence consists of topical\n files concerning the American Legion and World War I; business\n correspondence of \n R.

These closely related\n families were two of the leading participants in the business\n and political life of Southwest \n Virginia during the nineteenth century.\n The business papers of Col. \n James White (1770-1838), other papers\n concerning the settlement of his estate, and the business and\n correspondence of the \n White family , chiefly of \n William Young Conn White (1812-1882), all\n contain material relating to the development of business and\n industry in Southwest \n Virginia and its economic ties to \n Tennessee and \n Alabama before and after the Civil\n War.","The first two series of the \n White family papers contain Col. \n James White 's own business papers,\n 1807-1838, and papers relating to the settlement of his vast\n estate, 1838-1878. Col. White was involved in a number of\n mercantile interests (up to some forty-five at one time) in\n addition to the saltworks at \n Saltville, Washington County . This\n included business interests in the states of \n Virginia , \n Tennessee , \n Alabama , and \n Georgia , and investments in lead mines in\n Wythe County , iron furnaces, cotton\n plantations, and slaves. His property was worth at least\n $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col. White's\n business papers do not furnish a complete picture of any of\n these interests.","Col. White moved to \n Abingdon, Virginia about 1795. Prior to\n his arrival there, White had worked for \n Talbot, Jones \u0026 Company , a \n Baltimore merchandising house, who\n supplied him with enough goods to set up his own business. He\n married Miss \n Eliza Wilson in 1798 and began expanding\n his business by becoming a partner of such men as Mr.\n Henderson in \n Abingdon and \n William Lynn in \n Alabama .","One of his most important business enterprises was the\n leasing of the saltworks at \n Saltville, Virginia , from the executors\n of the \n William King estate. Because the chain of\n ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n own involvement in the property.","General \n Francis Preston and his family had owned\n the salt lick when \n William King (1769-1808) purchased the\n land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n Preston Salines until his death in 1808.\n According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n brother, \n James King , \n William Trigg , and \n William King 's wife, \n Mary Trigg King , and their executors\n until 1819, when it was leased to \n John Sanders . Sanders sold his lease\n rights to \n James White who leased the operations\n until 1833. Other individuals leased this property until the\n formation of the \n Holston Salt \u0026 Plaster Company in\n 1864. The \n King Saltworks produced from 90,000 to\n 100,000 bushels of salt per year. During the Civil War, it was\n the largest supplier of salt to the Confederacy.","The business papers of Col. White contain several items\n related to his salt interests including: papers concerning the\n estate of \n William King and the saltworks (October\n 27, 1820; May 14, 1821; April 3, June 7, \u0026 October 4,\n 1823; and September 1834); extracts from \n John Hardies ' disposition concerning salt\n prices, 1824-1829 (April 7, 1829); and other legal papers\n regarding the saltworks (May 26, 1830; September 8, 1831;\n April 1833; November 7, 1834; March 12 \u0026 September 27,\n 1836; May 26, 1837; and August 15, 1838); a valuation of\n buildings at \n Saltville (undated) and a memorandum\n regarding the account books at \n Saltville (undated).","His business papers also include the balances on the \n Saltville books (1820-1835). Papers\n concerning cotton shipments (1837-1838) and his other\n mercantile interests (August 25, 1821 and April 16, 1835) are\n present but do not adequately represent the extent of his\n involvement.","The settlement of the estate of Col. \n James White was not completed until 1878\n and the records in the second series show the extent of\n White's assets at his death, especially the slave and land\n inventories (ca. 1838), a notebook regarding the estate of \n James White , 1843-1863, and a commonplace\n book record of the division of his property (ca. 1851).","An inventory entitled \"Inventory and appraisement of the\n personal property belonging to the estate of Col. James White\n deceased\" is an especially useful summation of Col. White's\n economic status at the time of his death. It contains entries\n for: merchandise (pp. 1-18); small notes (pp. 19-37); salt due\n bills (p. 38); appraisements of property in \n Clay County, Kentucky , and the \n Limestone and \n Bellefonte Plantations in \n Alabama (pp. 39-44); sales of personal\n property (pp. 45-46); dividends, cash received and notes (p.\n 47); various agreements (pp. 60-121); and settlement of the\n estate (pp. 126-129). The volume also has notes regarding the\n periodic examination of the accounts by the commissioner which\n were recorded by the court, 1839-1871.","The correspondence of the \n White family includes many letters\n concerning business matters; of special note are the letters\n of \n Thomas Wilson White (1817-? ) to his\n brother \n William Young Conn White (1812-1882), both\n sons of Col. \n James White . \n Thomas White was the manager of the\n family's plantation \" \n Bellefonte , \" near \n Huntsville, Alabama , and his letters give\n a detailed account of its affairs (Feb., Nov., and Dec. 1843;\n Jan. 1844; Sep., Nov., and Dec. 1845; Feb., Apr., and Dec.\n 1846; Jun. 1847; Jul. 1848; Mar. and May 1849; Mar. and Jul.\n 1851; Feb.-Apr. 1852; Apr. 1854; Oct. 1857; Jan., Apr., \u0026\n Jun. 1858; Jul., \u0026 Sep.-Oct. 1859; Nov. 1862; Jul. 1874;\n Mar., Apr., and Dec. 1876; Feb. and Jun. 1877; and Mar.\n 1878).","Other topics of interest in the \n White family correspondence include: slavery\n (January 1, 1840; August 26, 1841; April 25 \u0026 November 29,\n 1846; January 23, 1858 and July 16, 1859); the salt\n merchandising business (November 28, 1842), banking and\n financial difficulties (February 9, 1843; June 1, 1847; and\n October 13, \u0026 16, 1857); and cotton prices (January 21,\n 1844; November 23, 1845; February 28, 1846; and April 29,\n 1854).","The fourth group of papers include the legal,\n miscellaneous, and business papers of the \n White family . Of note in the legal papers\n are the following: an inventory and appraisement of the\n estates of \n Eliza White and \n Eleanor W. White (1851-1880); an indenture\n regarding the saltworks between \n James White and \n William King (August 4, 1823); and land\n grants signed by various governors of \n Virginia , including \n James Pleasants , \n James Wood , and \n John Tyler, Sr.","Miscellaneous papers include a copy of a talk concerning\n Judge \n Peter Johnson (1763-1831) who grew up at \"\n Longwood \" near \n Farmville, Virginia (undated) and a copy\n of The Daily Express of \n Petersburg, Virginia (April 18, 1864).","The business papers of the \n White family show their widespread business\n interests, especially those of the \n Saltville saltworks and their lead mines\n in \n Wythe County, Virginia . The account of\n Dr. \n Alexander Preston with \n Eliza White (December 1839), containing\n fees for medicines and doctor visits, sheds light on the types\n of treatment occurring on a large plantation with many slaves.\n A list of articles bought at a sale (August 22- 26, 1842)\n includes livestock and slave prices.","Several of these papers deal with the \n White family 's continued interest in the \n King Saltworks , which later became the \n Holston Salt and Plaster Company (Dec.,\n 1855; Sep., 1862; Jan., 1866; Apr., 1872; Sep., 1874; Jun.,\n and Oct., 1875; Feb., and May 1876; and Apr., 1877). There is\n also other material concerning the \n Holston Salt and Plaster Company in the\n years, 1872-1881.","A large amount of material in the business papers concerns\n the lead mines in \n Wythe County under the company names of \n Austinville Lead Mining Company , \n Union Lead Mines Company , and \n Wythe Lead and Zinc Mine Company (Feb. and\n May 1856; Nov. 1857; Nov. 1864; Nov. 1865; Jul. and Dec. 1866;\n Mar., May, Jul.-Dec. 1874; Jan. 1875; Dec. 1876; and Jan.-Apr.\n 1877). The bulk of the material on the lead mines is located\n within the years 1874-1880.","The collection also contains a small group of papers\n concerning the \n Campell family , 1853-1882. One letter,\n August 23, 1862, describes some of the economic difficulties\n resulting from the Civil War.","The next series consists of the \n Robertson family papers. \n James Lowry White (1842-1914), son of \n William Young Conn White , married \n Catherine Markham Robertson , daughter of\n Governor \n Wyndham Robertson (1803-1883), who resided\n at the \" \n Meadows , \" near \n Abingdon, Virginia .","The papers of \n Powhatan Robertson , a brother of \n Wyndham Robertson , include: reports on\n his college work (1815-1816) and essays written by him at \n William and Mary (undated); three small\n travel diaries describing his European Tour through \n France , \n Italy , and \n Switzerland (October 12-November 25, 1818,\n November 26-December 22, 1818, and January 3-May 2, 1819); and\n letters describing the government and people of \n Switzerland and predicting that the growth\n of Russian power and influence would continue into the next\n century (June 9, 1819), and a speech by \n John Randolph during the Missouri\n Compromise debate (February 22, 1820).","The correspondence of the \n Robertson family contains several Civil War\n letters of interest: \n Frank Robertson 's description of Major \n John Pelham (1838-1863) who fell at \n Kelly's Ford (March 19, 1863); bands of\n men pillaging the country (April 1865); and reconstruction\n politics and settlement (June 6, 1865).","The letters to \n Kate (Robertson) White contain several\n Civil War letters from her brother Frank, who served as a\n captain under \n J.

These closely related\n families were two of the leading participants in the business\n and political life of Southwest \n Virginia during the nineteenth century.\n The business papers of Col. \n James White (1770-1838), other papers\n concerning the settlement of his estate, and the business and\n correspondence of the \n White family , chiefly of \n William Young Conn White (1812-1882), all\n contain material relating to the development of business and\n industry in Southwest \n Virginia and its economic ties to \n Tennessee and \n Alabama before and after the Civil\n War.","The first two series of the \n White family papers contain Col. \n James White 's own business papers,\n 1807-1838, and papers relating to the settlement of his vast\n estate, 1838-1878. Col. White was involved in a number of\n mercantile interests (up to some forty-five at one time) in\n addition to the saltworks at \n Saltville, Washington County . This\n included business interests in the states of \n Virginia , \n Tennessee , \n Alabama , and \n Georgia , and investments in lead mines in\n Wythe County , iron furnaces, cotton\n plantations, and slaves. His property was worth at least\n $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col. White's\n business papers do not furnish a complete picture of any of\n these interests.","Col. White moved to \n Abingdon, Virginia about 1795. Prior to\n his arrival there, White had worked for \n Talbot, Jones \u0026 Company , a \n Baltimore merchandising house, who\n supplied him with enough goods to set up his own business. He\n married Miss \n Eliza Wilson in 1798 and began expanding\n his business by becoming a partner of such men as Mr.\n Henderson in \n Abingdon and \n William Lynn in \n Alabama .","One of his most important business enterprises was the\n leasing of the saltworks at \n Saltville, Virginia , from the executors\n of the \n William King estate. Because the chain of\n ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n own involvement in the property.","General \n Francis Preston and his family had owned\n the salt lick when \n William King (1769-1808) purchased the\n land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n Preston Salines until his death in 1808.\n According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n brother, \n James King , \n William Trigg , and \n William King 's wife, \n Mary Trigg King , and their executors\n until 1819, when it was leased to \n John Sanders . Sanders sold his lease\n rights to \n James White who leased the operations\n until 1833. Other individuals leased this property until the\n formation of the \n Holston Salt \u0026 Plaster Company in\n 1864. The \n King Saltworks produced from 90,000 to\n 100,000 bushels of salt per year. During the Civil War, it was\n the largest supplier of salt to the Confederacy.","The business papers of Col. White contain several items\n related to his salt interests including: papers concerning the\n estate of \n William King and the saltworks (October\n 27, 1820; May 14, 1821; April 3, June 7, \u0026 October 4,\n 1823; and September 1834); extracts from \n John Hardies ' disposition concerning salt\n prices, 1824-1829 (April 7, 1829); and other legal papers\n regarding the saltworks (May 26, 1830; September 8, 1831;\n April 1833; November 7, 1834; March 12 \u0026 September 27,\n 1836; May 26, 1837; and August 15, 1838); a valuation of\n buildings at \n Saltville (undated) and a memorandum\n regarding the account books at \n Saltville (undated).","His business papers also include the balances on the \n Saltville books (1820-1835). Papers\n concerning cotton shipments (1837-1838) and his other\n mercantile interests (August 25, 1821 and April 16, 1835) are\n present but do not adequately represent the extent of his\n involvement.","The settlement of the estate of Col. \n James White was not completed until 1878\n and the records in the second series show the extent of\n White's assets at his death, especially the slave and land\n inventories (ca. 1838), a notebook regarding the estate of \n James White , 1843-1863, and a commonplace\n book record of the division of his property (ca. 1851).","An inventory entitled \"Inventory and appraisement of the\n personal property belonging to the estate of Col. James White\n deceased\" is an especially useful summation of Col. White's\n economic status at the time of his death. It contains entries\n for: merchandise (pp. 1-18); small notes (pp. 19-37); salt due\n bills (p. 38); appraisements of property in \n Clay County, Kentucky , and the \n Limestone and \n Bellefonte Plantations in \n Alabama (pp. 39-44); sales of personal\n property (pp. 45-46); dividends, cash received and notes (p.\n 47); various agreements (pp. 60-121); and settlement of the\n estate (pp. 126-129). The volume also has notes regarding the\n periodic examination of the accounts by the commissioner which\n were recorded by the court, 1839-1871.","The correspondence of the \n White family includes many letters\n concerning business matters; of special note are the letters\n of \n Thomas Wilson White (1817-? ) to his\n brother \n William Young Conn White (1812-1882), both\n sons of Col. \n James White . \n Thomas White was the manager of the\n family's plantation \" \n Bellefonte , \" near \n Huntsville, Alabama , and his letters give\n a detailed account of its affairs (Feb., Nov., and Dec. 1843;\n Jan. 1844; Sep., Nov., and Dec. 1845; Feb., Apr., and Dec.\n 1846; Jun. 1847; Jul. 1848; Mar. and May 1849; Mar. and Jul.\n 1851; Feb.-Apr. 1852; Apr. 1854; Oct. 1857; Jan., Apr., \u0026\n Jun. 1858; Jul., \u0026 Sep.-Oct. 1859; Nov. 1862; Jul. 1874;\n Mar., Apr., and Dec. 1876; Feb. and Jun. 1877; and Mar.\n 1878).","Other topics of interest in the \n White family correspondence include: slavery\n (January 1, 1840; August 26, 1841; April 25 \u0026 November 29,\n 1846; January 23, 1858 and July 16, 1859); the salt\n merchandising business (November 28, 1842), banking and\n financial difficulties (February 9, 1843; June 1, 1847; and\n October 13, \u0026 16, 1857); and cotton prices (January 21,\n 1844; November 23, 1845; February 28, 1846; and April 29,\n 1854).","The fourth group of papers include the legal,\n miscellaneous, and business papers of the \n White family . Of note in the legal papers\n are the following: an inventory and appraisement of the\n estates of \n Eliza White and \n Eleanor W. White (1851-1880); an indenture\n regarding the saltworks between \n James White and \n William King (August 4, 1823); and land\n grants signed by various governors of \n Virginia , including \n James Pleasants , \n James Wood , and \n John Tyler, Sr.","Miscellaneous papers include a copy of a talk concerning\n Judge \n Peter Johnson (1763-1831) who grew up at \"\n Longwood \" near \n Farmville, Virginia (undated) and a copy\n of The Daily Express of \n Petersburg, Virginia (April 18, 1864).","The business papers of the \n White family show their widespread business\n interests, especially those of the \n Saltville saltworks and their lead mines\n in \n Wythe County, Virginia . The account of\n Dr. \n Alexander Preston with \n Eliza White (December 1839), containing\n fees for medicines and doctor visits, sheds light on the types\n of treatment occurring on a large plantation with many slaves.\n A list of articles bought at a sale (August 22- 26, 1842)\n includes livestock and slave prices.","Several of these papers deal with the \n White family 's continued interest in the \n King Saltworks , which later became the \n Holston Salt and Plaster Company (Dec.,\n 1855; Sep., 1862; Jan., 1866; Apr., 1872; Sep., 1874; Jun.,\n and Oct., 1875; Feb., and May 1876; and Apr., 1877).
