She heard some of the prominent\n         clergymen of the time such as \n         Ebenezer Boyden, \n         John Albert Broadus, \n         Dabney Carr Davis, \n         Richard Terrell Davis, \n         Richard Kidder Meade, \n         Bishop William Meade, Liberian Bishop \n         John S. Payne, and \n         Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer.","There are references to and some descriptions of places\n         visited and events attended, including the \n         Virginia State Fairin \n         Richmondin 1857 and again in 1860. \n         Louisa Minoroften visited the nearby\n         estates of family and friends-- \n         Castalia, \n         Cloverfields, \n         Kinloch, \n         Locust Hill, \n         Music Hall, \n         Orange Dale--relating occurrences at\n         them. There are mentions of the funeral of the artist \n         John Toole(March 1860), the annual\n         celebrations of the \n         Jefferson Societyand the \n         Washington [Literary] Societyat the \n         University of Virginiaas well as other\n         events at the University. Information on \n         Charlottesvilleis found throughout the\n         diary.","Prior to the beginning of the Civil War references to\n         blacks included news of freed servants sailing from \n         Norfolkto \n         Africa(December 1856), and later accounts\n         of many of their deaths while en route (April 1857). Also\n         during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n         of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n         insubordination among the servants at \n         Music Hall(August 1857). \n         Louisa Minor's feelings toward the\n         uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n         felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n         the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n         understanding of any rebelliousness. This lack of\n         understanding seems evident in December 1865 when she wrote\n         that the \"freedmen seem to be having all the fun and goodies.\"\n         She wrote of their changing status, their unwillingness to\n         attend to the family's wants, and their still receiving daily\n         allowances--all with the belief that they had been treated\n         fairly (December 1865).","During the Civil War, \n         Louisa Minorwrote about occurrences in\n         more detail, although much of the news was indirect, through\n         hearsay or letters. In late 1860, \n         Louisa Minorwrote about the realization\n         of war, and the companies of infantry \"drawn out in all `the\n         pomp and circumstance of war'.\" Throughout the war she often\n         expressed the typical feelings of Southerners toward the\n         Northerners, the victories and losses of the \n         Confederate Army, heroes such as \n         \"Stonewall\" Jackson, destruction of land\n         and transportation modes, and the changing status of blacks.\n         From January 1861 through April 1865, \n         Louisa Minorreported on the progress of\n         the war. She mentions that when \n         Stonewall Jackson's troops marched\n         through in June 1862, she spent the whole day feeding\n         soldiers, gave up her bed at night, and was paid a visit in\n         the parlor by General \n         Richard Ewell, \"a funny old\n         fellow...[with] the simplicity and heart of a child...\". She\n         also reports on a Christmas dinner given to over 1200 soldiers\n         at the \n         Delevan Hospital, \n         Charlottesville, and Custer's\n         diversionary raid on Rio Hill on February 29, 1864. As time\n         progressed, the effects of the war became personally evident\n         to \n         Louisa Minoras more and more of her\n         family and friends and the surrounding area were affected.\n         During late 1864,and early 1865, \n         Charlottesvillewas more involved in the\n         war, with Yankee raids and destruction of property. \n         Louisa Minorgives a fairly full account\n         of Federal troops passing through \n         Albemarle Countyin March 1865, and\n         describes the hardships of the first year of\n         Reconstruction.","Also included is a bequest, April 23, 1871, of \n         Mary Walker (Lewis) Andersonleaving her\n         table furniture, two feather beds and a trundle bed with bed\n         clothes, \"wearing clothes,\" tin ware, and all personal\n         property and money due her to \n         Louisa Minor.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

There are mentions of the funeral of the artist \n         John Toole(March 1860), the annual\n         celebrations of the \n         Jefferson Societyand the \n         Washington [Literary] Societyat the \n         University of Virginiaas well as other\n         events at the University. Information on \n         Charlottesvilleis found throughout the\n         diary.","Prior to the beginning of the Civil War references to\n         blacks included news of freed servants sailing from \n         Norfolkto \n         Africa(December 1856), and later accounts\n         of many of their deaths while en route (April 1857). Also\n         during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n         of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n         insubordination among the servants at \n         Music Hall(August 1857). \n         Louisa Minor's feelings toward the\n         uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n         felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n         the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n         understanding of any rebelliousness. This lack of\n         understanding seems evident in December 1865 when she wrote\n         that the \"freedmen seem to be having all the fun and goodies.\"\n         She wrote of their changing status, their unwillingness to\n         attend to the family's wants, and their still receiving daily\n         allowances--all with the belief that they had been treated\n         fairly (December 1865).","During the Civil War, \n         Louisa Minorwrote about occurrences in\n         more detail, although much of the news was indirect, through\n         hearsay or letters. In late 1860, \n         Louisa Minorwrote about the realization\n         of war, and the companies of infantry \"drawn out in all `the\n         pomp and circumstance of war'.\" Throughout the war she often\n         expressed the typical feelings of Southerners toward the\n         Northerners, the victories and losses of the \n         Confederate Army, heroes such as \n         \"Stonewall\" Jackson, destruction of land\n         and transportation modes, and the changing status of blacks.\n         From January 1861 through April 1865, \n         Louisa Minorreported on the progress of\n         the war. She mentions that when \n         Stonewall Jackson's troops marched\n         through in June 1862, she spent the whole day feeding\n         soldiers, gave up her bed at night, and was paid a visit in\n         the parlor by General \n         Richard Ewell, \"a funny old\n         fellow...[with] the simplicity and heart of a child...\". She\n         also reports on a Christmas dinner given to over 1200 soldiers\n         at the \n         Delevan Hospital, \n         Charlottesville, and Custer's\n         diversionary raid on Rio Hill on February 29, 1864. As time\n         progressed, the effects of the war became personally evident\n         to \n         Louisa Minoras more and more of her\n         family and friends and the surrounding area were affected.\n         During late 1864,and early 1865, \n         Charlottesvillewas more involved in the\n         war, with Yankee raids and destruction of property. \n         Louisa Minorgives a fairly full account\n         of Federal troops passing through \n         Albemarle Countyin March 1865, and\n         describes the hardships of the first year of\n         Reconstruction.","Also included is a bequest, April 23, 1871, of \n         Mary Walker (Lewis) Andersonleaving her\n         table furniture, two feather beds and a trundle bed with bed\n         clothes, \"wearing clothes,\" tin ware, and all personal\n         property and money due her to \n         Louisa Minor.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

Also\n         during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n         of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n         insubordination among the servants at \n         Music Hall(August 1857). \n         Louisa Minor's feelings toward the\n         uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n         felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n         the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n         understanding of any rebelliousness.

Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment ( \n         1st regiment Virginia Artillery) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n         Tom Cobb, \n         Howell Cobb, Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown.

Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n         Yorktown.

Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n         Randolph Macon, becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n         James Cochran's unit.

A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n         Thomas Preston Lewishas at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n         John Buchanan Floyd. October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n         William Sparrow.

The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n         Thomas Preston Lewis.

Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n         Randolph Macon, becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n         James Cochran's unit.

The letter of August 16, 1863 mentions the\n         deaths of \n         Nannie Cohranand \n         Maggie Cochran.","Letters between \n         Willie Lynn Cochranand his mother \n         Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochranwere written\n         while \n         Willie Lynn Cochranattended school in \n         Brownsburgand mostly contain pleas for\n         more letters from home.","Letters between \n         Howe Peyton Cochranand his wife \n         Nannie L. (Carrington) Cochran(married\n         December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n         personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n         the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment ( \n         1st regiment Virginia Artillery) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n         Tom Cobb, \n         Howell Cobb, Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n         preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n         Yorktown. The letters of April 1862\n         contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n         Yorktown. The letters of May 9 and 14,\n         1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n         Williamsburgwhich \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment did not\n         participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n         Randolph Macon, becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n         James Cochran's unit. A son ( \n         Campbell Carrington Cochran, named for \n         Nannie Cochran's brother who died during\n         the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n         Nannie Cochrandied, apparently as a\n         result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n         1863.","Joseph D.

On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n         battle of \n         Culpepper.

The\n         letters give the progression of \n         John Cochran's sickness which did not\n         improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n         February 1887 after his return to \n         Staunton.","Letters to \n         John Cochrancontains an interesting\n         letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n         hogs.","Letters to \n         Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochrancontain\n         letters from her brother \n         Thomas Preston Lewiswho served with the \n         War Departmentin the 1850's.

There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived the right to\n         practice law in \n         Virginiaon September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n         census bureau(October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n         War Departmentbased on recommendations by\n         Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart(November 15,\n         1850.) \n         Thomas Preston Lewis' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n         Point Pleasantand an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n         Thomas Preston Lewishas at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n         John Buchanan Floyd. October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n         William Sparrow. March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n         Thomas Preston Lewislost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n         Thomas Preston Lewistrying to collect on\n         his debts. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisattempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived help from \n         John F. Lewisin getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n         John F.

The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n         Thomas Preston Lewis.

Payne. It contains various types of genealogical information for different West Virginia families from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Documents include charts, notes, letters, certificates, pamphlets, narrative histories, and legal documents, and date from 1805 to 1943. Materials are loosely arranged in alphabetical order by family name and vary in number and format for each family. Families for whom there are several documents include the Fowke, Franklin, Furman, Payne, Rogers, and Ruffner families. A complete inventory of names is available in the library. Collection also includes typewritten copies of journals and letters belonging to Henry Bedinger (1753-1843) that detail his service in Boston as a member of Captain Hugh Stevenson's Company of Riflemen. Bedinger chiefly records he unit's movements, places they camped, and engagements with the British. Bedinger served in defense of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, and was captured there in November 1776. He was held as a prisoner of war until his exchange in October 1780. He later served as postmaster of Shepherdstown and a member of the Virginia Assembly.
