In 1994, he moved to Loudoun County, Virginia.  He married Episcopal priest Rev. Betsee Parker (1951-present) in 1998, and the couple settled in New York.  Uran and Rev. Parker had one daughter, Constance \"Rosie\" Uran, and they subsequently moved back to Loudoun County, where Irwin Uran died on 23 June 2007.\n","Uran was interested in finance throughout his life and he became wealthy through his investments in the stock market.  He used his wealth for philanthropy, creating the Irwin Uran Gift Fund of Loudoun County, Virginia and donating to charities, public facilities, and needy individuals in Loudoun County.  As a soldier, Uran witnessed the holocaust first-hand when he assisted in the release of the inmates of the Dachau concentration camp.  In order to create awareness of the horrors of genocide, he donated $1 million to the Loudoun County Public Library towards holocaust studies. Uran was also troubled by the anti-Semitism he encountered during the war and in Loudoun County after the war, and he donated $2 million toward the construction of a synagogue in Leesburg in hopes that the anti-Semitism would cease."],"otherfindaid_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"otherfindaid_heading_ssm":["Other Finding Aid\n"],"otherfindaid_tesim":["None\n"],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"phystech_heading_ssm":["Technical Requirements\n"],"phystech_tesim":["None\n"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eIrwin Uran Memoirs, 2001-2003 (SC 0087), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Irwin Uran Memoirs, 2001-2003 (SC 0087), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\n"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCharlotte Blacklock, 29 June 2011\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information\n"],"processinfo_tesim":["Charlotte Blacklock, 29 June 2011\n"],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"relatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Related Material\n"],"relatedmaterial_tesim":["None\n"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of the memoirs of Irwin Uran, written from 2001-2003.

Wiard (1831 - 1916) was the son of Michael Wiard (1797 - 1889) and Mary Potterfield Wiard (1804 - 1869) of Loudoun County. On 27 January 1857, Wiard married Annie E. Wilder (1836 - 1888), daughter of Henry C. Wilder (1801-1871) and Mary A. Wilder (1809 -1864), also of Loudoun. Following the Civil War the couple adopted a daughter, Ella V. Wiard (b. 1868).  A carpenter, Wiard established a shop in Leesburg, at times doing work for both the town and county governments. ","On 22 April 1861, Wiard enlisted as a Private in the Confederate Army with the 17th Virginia.  A month later he was removed from duty due to \"physical unfitness for service.\"  Following his release from service, Wiard did carpentry work for the Confederate forces in Leesburg. Records of the 7th Brigade, CSA show that Wiard was reimbursed for building and furnishing a bakery in October and November of 1861. Captain John M. Orr, acting as Assistant Commissary and Subsistence officer for the 7th Brigade at Leesburg authorized many of these payments.  Orr was noted for being \"actively engaged in securing commissary stores and in providing cooked rations for the brigade\" following the Battle of Ball's Bluff in October of 1861. As Mayor of Leesburg between 1855 and 1866, Orr was involved in the approval, printing and issue of Leesburg's municipal currency known as locally as dog money due to the image of a dog on each bill. The bills were circulated in Leesburg among both civilians and soldiers, and were accepted without question by local tradesmen and merchants.","After the Civil War, Wiard continued to work as a carpenter in Leesburg, living on the corner of Market and Liberty Streets. In 1873 he gained clear title to a lot on this corner in a chancery court cause with Jonah Potterfield (1809-1882), a cousin. The 1878 Grays Map of Leesburg shows both Wiard's home and the Carpenter's Shop.  Tax records from 1885-1887 show Wiard's payment of tax for one lot in Leesburg. In 1885, Wiard's tax receipt shows a credit for work provided to the Town of Leesburg. ","In 1893 Wiard's adopted daughter Ella married John H. Grinnalds in Washington, DC.  By 1900, Wiard, now a widower, relocated with his daughter and her husband to Jersey City, New Jersey. He continued to work, assisting with the Grinnalds' notions business.

Wiard (1831 - 1916) was the son of Michael Wiard (1797 - 1889) and Mary Potterfield Wiard (1804 - 1869) of Loudoun County. On 27 January 1857, Wiard married Annie E. Wilder (1836 - 1888), daughter of Henry C. Wilder (1801-1871) and Mary A. Wilder (1809 -1864), also of Loudoun. Following the Civil War the couple adopted a daughter, Ella V. Wiard (b. 1868).  A carpenter, Wiard established a shop in Leesburg, at times doing work for both the town and county governments. ","On 22 April 1861, Wiard enlisted as a Private in the Confederate Army with the 17th Virginia.  A month later he was removed from duty due to \"physical unfitness for service.\"  Following his release from service, Wiard did carpentry work for the Confederate forces in Leesburg. Records of the 7th Brigade, CSA show that Wiard was reimbursed for building and furnishing a bakery in October and November of 1861. Captain John M. Orr, acting as Assistant Commissary and Subsistence officer for the 7th Brigade at Leesburg authorized many of these payments.  Orr was noted for being \"actively engaged in securing commissary stores and in providing cooked rations for the brigade\" following the Battle of Ball's Bluff in October of 1861. As Mayor of Leesburg between 1855 and 1866, Orr was involved in the approval, printing and issue of Leesburg's municipal currency known as locally as dog money due to the image of a dog on each bill. The bills were circulated in Leesburg among both civilians and soldiers, and were accepted without question by local tradesmen and merchants.","After the Civil War, Wiard continued to work as a carpenter in Leesburg, living on the corner of Market and Liberty Streets. In 1873 he gained clear title to a lot on this corner in a chancery court cause with Jonah Potterfield (1809-1882), a cousin. The 1878 Grays Map of Leesburg shows both Wiard's home and the Carpenter's Shop.  Tax records from 1885-1887 show Wiard's payment of tax for one lot in Leesburg. In 1885, Wiard's tax receipt shows a credit for work provided to the Town of Leesburg. ","In 1893 Wiard's adopted daughter Ella married John H. Grinnalds in Washington, DC.  By 1900, Wiard, now a widower, relocated with his daughter and her husband to Jersey City, New Jersey. He continued to work, assisting with the Grinnalds' notions business. In 1916, Wiard died and was buried in Union Cemetery Leesburg, Virginia.

Copeland served as a private in the 35th Virginia Cavalry Battalion, Company C for which service he and his wife, Fannie V. Copeland (1859-1950), received Confederate pensions. Although an outspoken critic of public schools Copeland started his career as a teacher in the first Hillsboro public School in 1870. He received an MD from Washington University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland in 1876 and commenced his medical practice in Rectortown, Fauquier County, Virginia where he met and married in 1881, his wife Fannie V. Copeland. Copeland practiced medicine from 1877 to 1925 when a kick in the elbow from a horse ended his career.  He had two children, Edward Virgil Copeland (1882- 1918), also a physician who joined his father in his practice until his untimely death from influenza, and Maria A.

In New York, however, Campbell lacked authority over the colonists. After ordering an unpopular embargo on ships and failing to effectively attack the French, he was recalled to England.

","The first reprint in the collection is a sketch of St. James Episcopal Church, which appeared in the October 8, 1892 issue of American Architect and Building News.  The drawing shows the plan for the outlay of the church as designed by Leon E. Dessez (1858-1918).  The cornerstone for this building was laid in 1895; the first service was held there in 1897.  It remains the present location of St. James Episcopal Church.","Next, the collection includes a portrait of John Campbell, Fourth Earl of Loudoun (1705-1782).  Renowned for his family's allegiance to the British monarchy, Campbell led an army of highlanders against the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745; he was appointed captain-general and governor-in-chief of Virginia as well as commander-in-chief of British troops in American in 1756.  In New York, however, Campbell lacked authority over the colonists. After ordering an unpopular embargo on ships and failing to effectively attack the French, he was recalled to England.  Loudoun County was named in his honor in 1757.  In January 1968, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors adopted a coat-of-arms modeled on Campbell's own.  The original of this item is in the collection of the Virginia Historical Society, which retains copyright.","The collection also contains both black and white and color reproductions of the Hough map.  John Hough (1720-1797) was first employed as Lord Fairfax's surveyor in 1744, and in 1756 was hired to survey Minor's Plantation in expectation of the founding of Leesburg.  Though Hough's initial draft of the map, drawn in 1757, has been lost, the revised 1759 map shows Leesburg's subdivision into 70 lots divided by three north-south streets and four east-west streets.  The original from which these reproductions are made belongs to the Clerk of Loudoun County Circuit Court.","The last items are two reprinted photographs of Camp Ordway, an army camp that was located outside Leesburg from June 8-16, 1899.

Noland.","The Chinn family's origins are unclear. Rawleigh Chinn (1684-1741), the earliest traced ancestor of the Chinn family, lived in Virginia by early 1700s, and he may have emigrated from England. Rawleigh Chinn owned a 3300-acre tract of land in northern Virginia which was later sold to Leven Powell (1737-1810), the founder of Middleburg, Virginia. Rawleigh's wife, Esther Ball (1685-1751), is purported to be the sister of Mary Ball (1708-1789), the mother of George Washington (1732-1799). The Chinns lived in the northern Virginia area for centuries, although various members of the family left Virginia to seek their fortunes out West. In 1850, the Chinn and Noland families were joined when Lucy Tarpley Chinn (ca. 1828-1911) married William Noland (n.d.).\n","The Noland family's origins appear to be Irish, and the original spelling of the name was Nowland. It is unclear when the spelling changed. Pierce Nowland (1650-1712) emigrated from Ireland to Maryland in 1686, and later moved to Virginia. The Nolands married into prominent families in the area, such as the Powell and the Aubrey families. The Nolands distinguished themselves in military service during the Revolutionary War and in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Major William Noland (1775-1855) also reportedly saved the life of President John Tyler (1790-1862), helped to found the town of Aldie, built the first bridge across the Potomac River, and helped to build one of the first canals in the state.","None\n","Charlotte Blacklock, 29 July 2011\n","Ball Family Genealogical Chart, 1650-1932 (OM 005)\n","Graham-Powell Land Indentures, 1772 (OM 0010)","This collection consists of documents pertaining to the Chinn/Noland family, including copies and transcriptions of correspondence by Jacob Edwin Chinn (1825-n.d.) and Samuel Walter Chinn (1835-n.d.) from 1850-1860 and membership applications to National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Rawleigh's wife, Esther Ball (1685-1751), is purported to be the sister of Mary Ball (1708-1789), the mother of George Washington (1732-1799). The Chinns lived in the northern Virginia area for centuries, although various members of the family left Virginia to seek their fortunes out West. In 1850, the Chinn and Noland families were joined when Lucy Tarpley Chinn (ca. 1828-1911) married William Noland (n.d.).\n","The Noland family's origins appear to be Irish, and the original spelling of the name was Nowland. It is unclear when the spelling changed. Pierce Nowland (1650-1712) emigrated from Ireland to Maryland in 1686, and later moved to Virginia. The Nolands married into prominent families in the area, such as the Powell and the Aubrey families. The Nolands distinguished themselves in military service during the Revolutionary War and in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Major William Noland (1775-1855) also reportedly saved the life of President John Tyler (1790-1862), helped to found the town of Aldie, built the first bridge across the Potomac River, and helped to build one of the first canals in the state."],"otherfindaid_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"otherfindaid_heading_ssm":["Other Finding Aid\n"],"otherfindaid_tesim":["None\n"],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"phystech_heading_ssm":["Technical Requirements\n"],"phystech_tesim":["None\n"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eJane Chinn Sween Research Collection, 1850-1939 (SC 0089), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Jane Chinn Sween Research Collection, 1850-1939 (SC 0089), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\n"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCharlotte Blacklock, 29 July 2011\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information\n"],"processinfo_tesim":["Charlotte Blacklock, 29 July 2011\n"],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBall Family Genealogical Chart, 1650-1932 (OM 005)\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eGraham-Powell Land Indentures, 1772 (OM 0010)\u003c/p\u003e"],"relatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Related Material\n"],"relatedmaterial_tesim":["Ball Family Genealogical Chart, 1650-1932 (OM 005)\n","Graham-Powell Land Indentures, 1772 (OM 0010)"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of documents pertaining to the Chinn/Noland family, including copies and transcriptions of correspondence by Jacob Edwin Chinn (1825-n.d.) and Samuel Walter Chinn (1835-n.d.) from 1850-1860 and membership applications to National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Inspired by his father, an avid amateur photographer who used his skills to earn extra income during the Second World War, Hanna established Jim Hanna Photography, L.L.C. in 2006 after retiring from the World Bank.  As a photographer, he has turned his gift for capturing rural scenes into a form of visual documentation, preserving the spirit of the countryside before it transforms into an urban landscape.\n","In addition to his father, Hanna attributes influence by such artists as Arnold Newman (1918-2006), Edward Steichen (1879-1973), Eliot Porter (1901-1990) and Edward Curtis (1868-1952), who are known for focusing on environmental and cultural subjects. Drawing on these sources for guidance, Hanna captures images of disappearing virgin territory and people that compose a workforce of manual labor. He continues to develop his digital photography through field work and regular seminars and has studied formally at the International Center of Photography in New York, the Maine Media Workshops in Rockport, and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Hanna has exhibited his work widely, including exhibitions in 2009, 2010 and 2012 at the Thomas Balch Library.
