Strother (1849-1894) and Nancy D. Anderson (1864-1898), was born in Fauquier County, VA, and raised by her maternal grandmother Martha A. Roberts Anderson (20 November 1835-9 July 1911) following the death of her parents. On 14 November 1917, she married John Moore Douglass (30 November 1888-14 January 1947), with whom she had three children: John Moore (b. 1918), James Edwards (Ned) (15 June 1920-29 January 1985), and Martha Anne (b. 1930). John Moore Douglass owned and operated Aldie Mill, a historically significant Loudoun County mill now owned by the state of Virginia operating from 1807-1971, until his death in 1947. Martha Strother Douglass was a member of the Aldie Presbyterian Church and the Aldie Horticultural Society until 1948 when she moved to Chevy Chase, MD. Before her death in 1969, she moved back to Aldie, VA.","George S. Cable (22 July 1858-26 June 1928) was a merchant in Fauquier Country. He married Lula H. Anderson (4 September 1869-4 March 1888) on 8 September 1886, and was Martha Strother's uncle by marriage. He had one child, Lula Anderson Cable (2 March 1888-19 September 1894) who died at the age of 7. Following the death of his wife and his daughter, George Cable married Catherine Rogers Green, known as \"Katie,\" (12 August 1870-4 October 1932), on 20 June 1895, with whom he had three children.","Catharine E. Strother (1892-1940), known as \"Kate,\" was the daughter of George Thomas Strother (1855-1923) and Lou Bayly (1866-1944). She was a paternal first cousin to Martha Strother.","William Smith Strother (21 May 1882-19 September 1972) was the son of James Lewis Strother (1850-1916) and Mary Elizabeth Smith (1849-1917). On 8 January 1919, he married Louis Henrietta Delaplane (26 June 1889-8 February 1984) and had two children. Originally a farmer in Fauquier County, he later taught at the Millard Prep School in Washington D.C. He was a paternal first cousin to Martha Strother.","The Fenton Mercer Love family lived in Jefferson, Loudoun County in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Fenton Mercer Love (9 June 1853-13 May 1935) was a farmer. He and his wife, Gertrude Temple Woolf Love (15 April 1853-24 May 1934), had five sons. Andrew Morris Love (August 1883-1 June 1943) was a farmer, and married Ruth H. Grubb (December 1885-1 June 1943), with whom he had two children, Sara (b. 28 May 1919) and James (1921-1 June 1943). On 1 June 1943, Thomas William Clatterbuck (10 April 1910-16 June 1944) murdered Andrew Morris Love, his wife, and his son in a debt dispute. Ernest Temple Love (24 May 1885-13 March 1966) moved to New York City and then to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he married, had one son, and became a successful banker. Fenton Mercer Love (February 1887-16 August 1964) married and became a farmer, joining the Lovettsville Farmers Club. James Woolf Love (1 Nov 1889-27 May 1924) was a soldier in World War I, stationed in France. Oscar M. Love (2 May 1892-5 January 1977) moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and became a banker, marrying and having five children.","James Edwards Douglass (15 June 1920-29 January 1985) was a son of John Moore Douglass and Martha Strother Douglass, and worked at Aldie Mill until World War II started. Joining the army on 14 May 1942, he was a bomber pilot in Italy and attained the rank of sergeant. He flew twenty-one missions before he was wounded in the left eye on 16 November 1944. After several months of treatment, both on the warfront and the home front, he was released from the Valley Forge General Hospital in Pennsylvania. In 1945, he separated from the military after 3 years, 4 months of service. He owned and operated Aldie Mill until it closed in 1971.","None\n","Ashley Swartwout, 21 July 2014\n","Aldie Horticultural Society Records (M 009), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA; Loudoun County Virginia Military Separation Notices, 1918-1995 (M 004), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA; Virginia Outdoors Foundation.

It contains letters and postcards, military papers and pamphlets, and photographs. This collection is arranged chronologically by recipient. The accompanying visual collection designation describes where each visual item is located in the collection.","The first part of the collection contains handwritten letters and postcards received by Martha Strother primarily from 1911-1913 when she was in her early twenties, although there are four earlier letters in the collection dating from 1906 to 1910. The letters were written to Martha Strother from a wide circle of acquaintances and family members, covering a variety of topics from recent news and visiting invitations to thank you notes and declarations of love. ","Besides letters and postcards, the collection contains two small, undated, unidentified photographs and some handwritten copies of popular songs and poetry from the early 1900s.","There is one undated note, and one Christmas postcard from 1910 to Mrs. Anderson, who presumably is Martha's grandmother.","There is one letter to George S. Cable dated 7 September 1887 from H. M. Kingsley, owner of the Kingsley Brothers Loudoun Valley Creamery in Hamilton, VA, saying Burr Hamilton (9 July 1828-6 September 1895) could make a mill more profitable.","There are two postcards to Catharine E. Strother, dated 1911 and 23 January 1913. The 1911 postcard wishes her a Merry Christmas, and the 1913 postcard asks her to pick the sender up from the train station.","There is one postcard to William Smith Strother dated 7 September 1911 from Nancy.","The second part of the collection contains handwritten letters and postcards from Ernest and James Love to their parents Fenton and Gertrude Love, as well as assorted letters from friends and family. James wrote all his letters to his parents and younger brother Oscar telling them about army life when he was fighting in World War I, and sent home picture postcards of France. Additionally, there are six government-issued World War II ration books from 1942 used by Andrew Morris Love and his family, one letter from Sara Love to her parents, and a copy of one letter to John Moore Douglass from his brother James Edwards.","The third part of the collection contains handwritten and typed letters mailed in 1945 to James Edwards Douglass from army friends while he was in recovery. In this group there are also some blotters from the 1940s with pictures of women painted on them. Additionally, there are many government documents regarding the release of soldiers from the army, including information booklets with instructions for re-integrating into civilian life and some forms for filing a claim with the National Service Life Insurance. This group contains three pictures taken while James Edwards Douglass was in Italy, one of which is a picture of him and his army friends.","Visual materials may require special handling.  \n","This collection is generally grouped into three parts: Martha Strother's papers, the Love family papers, and James Edwards Douglass's papers.

","The Carr family traces their family history to John Carr (1684-1794) who, born in Scotland, moved first with his family to Ireland before settling in Pennsylvania and finally Loudoun County (then Fairfax). John Calhoun Carr (1849-1915) was the great-grandson of John Carr, and he married his second wife Dora Gott (1860-1929) in 1883.

Legends of Loudoun: an Account of the History and Homes of \ta Border County of Virginia's Northern Neck. 1938.\n","Born in Poolesville, Maryland, Elijah Viers \"Lige\" White (1832-1907) lived in Loudoun County, VA at the outbreak of the American Civil War. The owner of Ball farm, White served the Confederacy as a scout and aid at the Battle of Ball's Bluff, receiving a captain's commission soon afterward and raising a company in Loudoun that became the 35th Battalion of Virginia Cavalry. White's battalion became part of the regular service as part of the Laurel Brigade, engaging in battles and skirmishes across Virginia, including some in Loudoun County. ","On 27 August 1862, White and his battalion (known as White's Commanches) entered Leesburg after defeating the Union-aligned Loudoun Rangers at Waterford's Baptist Church. This entrance into Leesburg was celebrated by Confederate sympathizers in Leesburg, and later commemorated when the \"Ladies of Leesburg\" presented White and his battalion with cake and wine on the one year anniversary of the event, 27 August 1863. The commemoration continued a second year as the \"Ladies\" presented White with an artificial laurel wreath on 24 August 1864.  ","The artificial wreath presented to Colonel Elijah V. White on 24 August 1864 reflects broader classical themes embraced by the Confederacy. While traditions of wreath laying and presentation are found across various cultures and periods in human history, the laurel wreath was a symbol of honor presented to the victorious.  The artificial wreath presented by the \"Ladies of Leesburg\" in 1864 reflects the Confederate emulation of classical ideals and motifs. Before and during the Civil War, people in the American South looked to Platonic and Aristotelian notions of \"ordered inequality\" and \"natural slavery\" as justifications for the Southern way of life. Southerners believed that their agrarian democracy resembled those of Ancient Greece, which trickled down into Southern decorative arts from Grecian temple-inspired plantation architecture to laurel wreath motifs on Confederate sword belt plates and insignias.   \n","None\n","Sarah Farver, 27 September 2018\n","Elijah V.
