The arrangement within the chronology is generally:\n         family papers, missionary papers, Presbyterian Church papers,\n         and general and miscellaneous papers.","The Higginbottom Papers, 1844-1971, consist of ca. 13,650\n         items (ca. 13 shelf feet) relating to activities of the\n         Higginbottom family. The collection contains family\n         correspondence and papers pertaining to missionary activities,\n         the Presbyterian Church, and miscellaneous activities of the\n         Higginbottoms. There are some manuscript drafts, proofs, etc.,\n         of various published works and reports by Ethel and Sam\n         Higginbottom.","To 1903 the papers chiefly include family correspondence\n         providing interesting background for understanding the\n         missionary life that the Higginbottom's led. From 1903 to 1945\n         the papers primarily concern Sam and Ethel's activities as\n         missionaries in India and the development of the agricultural\n         institute at Allahabad. Although this material is peripheral\n         to the main collection (See \"Acquisition\") it offers\n         fascinating insight into the personal life and attitudes of\n         the Higginbottoms'. Satisfactions and frustrations are\n         chronicled through their letters to one another, members of\n         the family, and friends. There is also some interesting\n         information concerning the relationship between the missionary\n         activity and the emergin nationalist sentiment in India.\n         Higginbottom's activities in fund-raising durign his visits to\n         the United States are thoroughly covered, as are Ethel's\n         activities in the States. The post-1945 material pertains to\n         the activities of Sam and Ethel durign their retirement. These\n         papers reflect their continuing attachment to Indian\n         missionary work. They also document the efforts of Sam\n         Higginbottom to found the Christian Service Training Center at\n         Frostproof, Florida during the 1950s.","Sam Higginbotton (1874-1958) came to American from England\n         in 1894 to attend the Mt. Harmon School in Massachusetts.\n         Influenced by the evangelical work of Dwight Lyman Moody, he\n         went to Amherst in 1899 and Princeton in 1901. While at\n         Princeton, he met George Forman, a missionary from India.\n         Forman convinced Higginbotton to go to India as a Presbyterian\n         missionary in 1903. Higginbotton taught at the Allahabad\n         Christian College and was deeply impressed by the poverty of\n         village life. He assumed a leading role in developing the\n         Naini Leper Asylum and conceived the pioneering idea of\n         founding an agricultural school to improve economic conditions\n         on the sub-continent. Ethel and Sam Higginbottom returned to\n         America several times to raise funds for the Allahabad\n         Agricultual Institute. Such visits occurred during 1909-11,\n         1914-15, 1919-21, 1932-33. The period of greatest development\n         and fufillment for the school was during the 1920s and 1930s.\n         Such prominent Indians such as Gandhi were fascinated by\n         Higginbottom's ideas for the improvement of Indian life.\n         During various periods Higginbottom advised Indian princes\n         concerning agricultural techniques. Throughout his stay in\n         India, Higginbottom remained in close contact with his\n         associates in the Presbyterian Church. His manifold public\n         appearances in search of funds brought them increasing\n         recognition from leaders of the Church. In 1939 Higginbottom\n         was elected Moderator of the Presbyterian Chruch in\n         America.","Higginbottom retired in 1945 and returned to America\n         settling in Frostproof, Florida. Higginbottom kept in close\n         touch with developments in India until his death. During the\n         1950s he unsuccessfully tried to establish a Christian Service\n         Training Center to train missionaries for agricultural work.\n         During his lifetime Higginbottom was widely known and\n         respected. His biographer has written that he \"embodied the\n         ideal American representative in underdeveloped nations.\" His\n         life and the work of the Institute have been adequately\n         delineated by Gary R. Hess in \n          Sam Higginbottom of Allahabad: Pioneer\n         of Point Four to India, (Charlottesville: U. of\n         Virginia Press, 1967).","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English"],"unitid_tesim":["5996-b,-c,-d"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Additional Papers of Sam Higginbottom and Jane\n         Ethelind Cody Higginbottom \n         \n         1844-1971"],"collection_title_tesim":["Additional Papers of Sam Higginbottom and Jane\n         Ethelind Cody Higginbottom \n         \n         1844-1971"],"collection_ssim":["Additional Papers of Sam Higginbottom and Jane\n         Ethelind Cody Higginbottom \n         \n         1844-1971"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["These papers are an addition to the main collection\n            (#5996) given by Henry and Elizabeth Higginbotton in 1959\n            and 1971.

The fifth and sixth letters have no year dated on them. The first letter dated\nJanuary 20, 1833 relates to some excellent advice that her father gave her about taking care of the minutes and letting the hours take care of themselves. She mentioned a visit she and her sister [Margaret Smith\nRandolph?] had with cousin John Bankhead's wife. She also referred to correspondence with her grandmother Martha Jefferson Randolph and Aunt Ellen Coolidge. She also wrote that Charlotte Tailor was well enough to\nvisit but Dr. Robley Dunglison advised her not to come because the girls [Patsy's sisters] might have scarlet fever instead of measles. She also wrote about her Uncle Ben (Dr. Benjamin Franklin Randolph 1808-1871,\nbrother of Thomas Jefferson Randolph).\n","The second letter written on February 12, 1833 mentioned the health of her brothers and sisters: \"This is the first time this winter, I believe that we have been able to say 'we are all well'. She also wrote\nthat \"we are all coming on tolerably with our lessons now\". There is also a reference to Uncle Ben's son Lewis who had a very dangerous burn. Lastly, she mentioned that she hopes her father will send them a\nportrait that he promised them, as well as some bulbs and seed for the garden.\n","The third letter written on December 16, 1833 is mostly about her sister [Mary Buchanan?] being very unwell and unable to have any lights on. She wrote that Dr. Robley Dunglison thinks that she is getting\nbetter and can now leave the darkened room and be guided around the house as long as the shutters are closed.\n","The fourth letter written on October 14, 1834 begins with a concern that her father will follow her mother's prediction of not answering their letters. Patsy also wrote that her grandmother and Aunt Margaret\nwere visiting them and that this would lift her mother's spirits. Her mother was very down because some of the young slaves were sold, thus separating them from their own mother by a long distance. She wrote that\nthe overseer, Mr. Wheat, kept the slaves in very good order without being too severe. She also relayed that a letter from her father to Mr. Dickerson had successful results when he responded that he would be happy\nto aid the son of his old friend William Randolph [possibly by removing Uncle George Wythe Randolph? to the Constitution?]. She added that her Uncle Meriwether Lewis Randolph was well received by the President but\nthere were no further details.\n","The fifth letter written on January 8th, n.y. described her mother's bad spirits due to the children being sick: Maria Jefferson Carr Randolph was quite unwell from eating wet walnuts, Thomas Jefferson Randolph\nwas also unwell; Mary Buchanan Randolph and Ellen Wayles Randolph had the measles although they were able to go to school; Carry (Caroline Ramsay Randolph) had the measles but it turned out to be a false report;\nMary Buchanan Randolph had a terrible sty which they were very concerned about (including Dr. Robley Dunglison and Dr. Benjamin Franklin Randolph- Uncle Ben) but it fully recovered. She also mentioned the recovery\nof Charlotte Tailor; made a reference to cousin Elizabeth Preston and scarlet fever gaining in Lexington; told of the marriage of Uncle John to Esther; (Patsy questioned if she is solid enough for him); she also\nwrote about Cousin Jane Margaret having a bad cold. There was also a reference from cousin Jane Margaret that she had not forgotten Thomas Jefferson Randolph's injunction about \"the west\". There was an effort made\nto go west but it failed. Uncle Smith said that he could not leave his parents ; Uncle Dabney was willing to buy the land and settle it; Grandma [Martha Jefferson Randolph?] offered to stay with Aunt Polly and\nAunt Sarah. Cousin John and cousin Wilson nearly persuaded Uncle John to go with them, however Mr. Buchanan would not hear of them going west.\n","The sixth letter n.y. describes the general health and comings and goings of their friends and family; Patsy's mother (Jane Hollins Nicholas Randolph) had a bad cold; Uncle Ben set out for Halifax; Aunt\nMargaret went up to Charlottesville to care for Mrs. Mason; Mr. Bibb and Mr. Richard Watson came down to make arrangements for the servant (hiring of \"Betty\"); Mr. Howard built a hen-house; Patsy asked her father\nfor a barrel of Irish potatoes and cauliflower seed for her mother. Patsy also asked her father what he thought about their teacher, Miss Lewis, leaving them.\n","This collection also contains a letter from Edmund Randolph, Secretary of the United States (grandfather of Patsy Jefferson Randolph Taylor's husband, John Charles Randolph Taylor) to his daughter Susan\nBeverley Taylor. He wrote that during this session of the General Assembly he had seen such a \"vanity of intrigue\" that he looked forward to spending time among his children. He wrote that he was the most affected\nby what he foresaw as a consequence from having been part of the Council.\n","He also wrote about his concern for the political future of his son-in-laws, Tom Preston (husband of his daughter, Edmonia Madison Randolph) and Peter Daniel (husband of his daughter Lucy Nelson Randolph). In\nhis description of the political situation of his son-in-law he made references to Peter Johnston and General James Breckenridge. Randolph also mentions to his daughter that Mrs. Brockenbrough was immersed in\nreligion and was receiving books of spiritual assistance from him.\n","There is also a signed deed between Edmund Randolph and William Fenwick conveying to Fenwick two certain lots of land in the town of Manchester on the 5th day of July 1813.\n","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English\n"],"unitid_tesim":["5533-f\n"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Additional Papers of the Randolph Family of Edgehill\n1813-1834"],"collection_title_tesim":["Additional Papers of the Randolph Family of Edgehill\n1813-1834"],"collection_ssim":["Additional Papers of the Randolph Family of Edgehill\n1813-1834"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["This collection was given to the Special Collections Department, University of Virginia Library by Patricia A.

The fifth and sixth letters have no year dated on them. The first letter dated\nJanuary 20, 1833 relates to some excellent advice that her father gave her about taking care of the minutes and letting the hours take care of themselves. She mentioned a visit she and her sister [Margaret Smith\nRandolph?] had with cousin John Bankhead's wife. She also referred to correspondence with her grandmother Martha Jefferson Randolph and Aunt Ellen Coolidge. She also wrote that Charlotte Tailor was well enough to\nvisit but Dr. Robley Dunglison advised her not to come because the girls [Patsy's sisters] might have scarlet fever instead of measles. She also wrote about her Uncle Ben (Dr. Benjamin Franklin Randolph 1808-1871,\nbrother of Thomas Jefferson Randolph).\n","The second letter written on February 12, 1833 mentioned the health of her brothers and sisters: \"This is the first time this winter, I believe that we have been able to say 'we are all well'. She also wrote\nthat \"we are all coming on tolerably with our lessons now\". There is also a reference to Uncle Ben's son Lewis who had a very dangerous burn. Lastly, she mentioned that she hopes her father will send them a\nportrait that he promised them, as well as some bulbs and seed for the garden.\n","The third letter written on December 16, 1833 is mostly about her sister [Mary Buchanan?] being very unwell and unable to have any lights on. She wrote that Dr. Robley Dunglison thinks that she is getting\nbetter and can now leave the darkened room and be guided around the house as long as the shutters are closed.\n","The fourth letter written on October 14, 1834 begins with a concern that her father will follow her mother's prediction of not answering their letters. Patsy also wrote that her grandmother and Aunt Margaret\nwere visiting them and that this would lift her mother's spirits. Her mother was very down because some of the young slaves were sold, thus separating them from their own mother by a long distance. She wrote that\nthe overseer, Mr. Wheat, kept the slaves in very good order without being too severe. She also relayed that a letter from her father to Mr. Dickerson had successful results when he responded that he would be happy\nto aid the son of his old friend William Randolph [possibly by removing Uncle George Wythe Randolph? to the Constitution?]. She added that her Uncle Meriwether Lewis Randolph was well received by the President but\nthere were no further details.\n","The fifth letter written on January 8th, n.y. described her mother's bad spirits due to the children being sick: Maria Jefferson Carr Randolph was quite unwell from eating wet walnuts, Thomas Jefferson Randolph\nwas also unwell; Mary Buchanan Randolph and Ellen Wayles Randolph had the measles although they were able to go to school; Carry (Caroline Ramsay Randolph) had the measles but it turned out to be a false report;\nMary Buchanan Randolph had a terrible sty which they were very concerned about (including Dr. Robley Dunglison and Dr. Benjamin Franklin Randolph- Uncle Ben) but it fully recovered. She also mentioned the recovery\nof Charlotte Tailor; made a reference to cousin Elizabeth Preston and scarlet fever gaining in Lexington; told of the marriage of Uncle John to Esther; (Patsy questioned if she is solid enough for him); she also\nwrote about Cousin Jane Margaret having a bad cold. There was also a reference from cousin Jane Margaret that she had not forgotten Thomas Jefferson Randolph's injunction about \"the west\". There was an effort made\nto go west but it failed. Uncle Smith said that he could not leave his parents ; Uncle Dabney was willing to buy the land and settle it; Grandma [Martha Jefferson Randolph?] offered to stay with Aunt Polly and\nAunt Sarah. Cousin John and cousin Wilson nearly persuaded Uncle John to go with them, however Mr. Buchanan would not hear of them going west.\n","The sixth letter n.y. describes the general health and comings and goings of their friends and family; Patsy's mother (Jane Hollins Nicholas Randolph) had a bad cold; Uncle Ben set out for Halifax; Aunt\nMargaret went up to Charlottesville to care for Mrs. Mason; Mr. Bibb and Mr. Richard Watson came down to make arrangements for the servant (hiring of \"Betty\"); Mr. Howard built a hen-house; Patsy asked her father\nfor a barrel of Irish potatoes and cauliflower seed for her mother. Patsy also asked her father what he thought about their teacher, Miss Lewis, leaving them.\n","This collection also contains a letter from Edmund Randolph, Secretary of the United States (grandfather of Patsy Jefferson Randolph Taylor's husband, John Charles Randolph Taylor) to his daughter Susan\nBeverley Taylor. He wrote that during this session of the General Assembly he had seen such a \"vanity of intrigue\" that he looked forward to spending time among his children. He wrote that he was the most affected\nby what he foresaw as a consequence from having been part of the Council.\n","He also wrote about his concern for the political future of his son-in-laws, Tom Preston (husband of his daughter, Edmonia Madison Randolph) and Peter Daniel (husband of his daughter Lucy Nelson Randolph). In\nhis description of the political situation of his son-in-law he made references to Peter Johnston and General James Breckenridge. Randolph also mentions to his daughter that Mrs. Brockenbrough was immersed in\nreligion and was receiving books of spiritual assistance from him.\n","There is also a signed deed between Edmund Randolph and William Fenwick conveying to Fenwick two certain lots of land in the town of Manchester on the 5th day of July 1813.\n"],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSee the \n            \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.library.virginia.edu/policies/use-of-materials\"\u003e\n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions\n"],"userestrict_tesim":["See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"language_ssim":["English\n"],"total_component_count_is":4,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-05-21T12:22:34.329Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_viu03970"}},{"id":"viu_viu03878","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"Additional Papers of the Randolph Family of Edgehill\n1822-1888","abstract_or_scope":{"id":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_viu03878#abstract_or_scope","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":"\u003cp\u003eThe collection contains 60 items (one half of a Hollinger box) less than one linear foot and consists of letters written between the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Thomas Jefferson through the Randolph family line from 1822 to 1888.
