Financially secure already, Thomas Browse held tight to his plans of settling and farming in the Ohio River valley, searching carefully for the ideal plat.","A year later he bought 437 acres in Tyler County, Virginia (Later Pleasants County, West Virginia) along the Ohio River. Through hard work, wise investments, and partnerships, Thomas Browse became one of the most successful and wealthiest men in the area. He was appointed county surveyor and a magistrate of Tyler County and was involved in forming the new county in 1848, called Pleasants County. Browse was appointed by Governor Floyd to serve as a county justice and was again made county surveyor. He was hired by Alexander Creel to survey and lay out lots for a new town, named St. Mary's, which became the county seat of Pleasants County. Thomas and Eliza Browse raised three children, Robert Henry, Eliza Jane, and Mary Elizabeth. Thomas Browse died in 1880 while serving as president of the county court.","Robert Henry Browse and his sole surviving sister, Mary, inherited most of the Thomas Browse estate. Mary married Edmund Holdren, had one child, and remained on Grape Island. Robert, like his father was active in investing, farming, and public affairs, serving as a delegate in the state legislature, a major in the county militia, and as editor and owner of a newspaper. He installed the county's first telephone line in Mary's house and was the first president of the McKim Telephone Company. Robert also served on the boards of banks. During the 1880s gas and oil boom in Pleasants County he bought land in Parkerville, laid out town lots, and changed the town name to Belmont. Robert and his wife Sarah raised six children, among them a son, Henry N. Browse.","When Robert died in 1909 his son Henry was named executor of Robert's estate. Instead of farming Henry chose medicine as his life's work. He still helped his mother, Sarah, manage his father's financial holdings, but he didn't pursue investing with same energy as his father and grandfather before him. Dr. Browse later moved to New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia, with his wife Katherine and three children, where he practiced medicine for several years. Dr. Henry N. Browse died in 1954.","Papers of the Thomas Browse family documenting immigration from England to the Ohio River region in the vicinity of Ohio, western Virginia, and Kentucky (1830); farming in Pleasants County, West Virginia in the vicinity of St. Marys on the Ohio River (ca. 1830s-1900); and the acquisition of and royalties from oil lands in Pleasant County from the region of \"Fish Pot\" (ca. 1880s-1910). Includes diaries of Thomas Browse (1830-1878) and diaries of his daughter Mary E. Browse (1855-1910, incomplete). Also includes family papers of descendants Robert H. Browse and Henry Nicholas Browse (grandson) documenting services purchased and businesses transactions conducted along the Ohio River in the region of the towns of St. Marys, New Martinsville, and Wheeling (ca. 1880-1930).","The diaries of Thomas Browse consist of daily entries documenting in vivid detail his experiences in immigrating to America from England and running a farm in Pleasants County in western Virginia. Upon his reaching the Ohio River the diaries record his land speculation where the Ohio traverses the states of Ohio, western Virginia, and Kentucky, including listings of land values, buildings, and people. Steamboats are recorded with their names. After his farm is established there is a record of goods produced (such as corn, apples, wool, etc.), listings of sales (including goods sold and their values), and records of land transactions. Personal and recreational events are recorded as well.","Except for the arrest of Thomas Browse, the Civil War apparently did not have a substantial effect on life in St. Marys on evidence of the few Civil War related entries in his diary. Thomas Browse records in his diary and in separately foldered journal pages (see box 17, folder 12) his arrest by Federal authorities in April 1862 on suspicion of being a Confederate spy. This occurred on the eve of the election to decide ratification of the new state constitution. He was held in Wheeling for three days and then released after the election. There is also mention in the entry of 23 July 1863 of the posting of men of the 88th Ohio Regiment under Lieutenant Howe in St. Marys in order to intercept Morgan's Cavalry during his famous raid north. About 20 of these men were fed by the Browse household.","The diaries of Mary E. Browse record life on the Browse estate including documentation of farm work and business, but also including references to household activities and chores. Her diary of 1855 vividly records a sea voyage from New York to Liverpool in order to visit relatives in England. She also expresses her stand against slavery in her diary, and her prediction of disunion of the United States as a result of the bitter division in the country.","The papers of Robert H. Browse include extensive documentation of oil land acquisition in Pleasants County, including oil deeds, leases, plats, and royalty documents from ca. 1880-1910.","There are several hand drawn survey maps of West Virginia lands in the Grape Island and Middle Island Creek area bordering the Ohio River, and plats of lands along Fish Pot Creek, Raven Rock, and Willow Island Creek in Pleasants and Tyler Counties pertaining to land acquisitions, contracts, and partnerships involving the Browse Family (ca. 1830-1910).

This occurred on the eve of the election to decide ratification of the new state constitution. He was held in Wheeling for three days and then released after the election. There is also mention in the entry of 23 July 1863 of the posting of men of the 88th Ohio Regiment under Lieutenant Howe in St. Marys in order to intercept Morgan's Cavalry during his famous raid north. About 20 of these men were fed by the Browse household.","The diaries of Mary E. Browse record life on the Browse estate including documentation of farm work and business, but also including references to household activities and chores. Her diary of 1855 vividly records a sea voyage from New York to Liverpool in order to visit relatives in England. She also expresses her stand against slavery in her diary, and her prediction of disunion of the United States as a result of the bitter division in the country.","The papers of Robert H. Browse include extensive documentation of oil land acquisition in Pleasants County, including oil deeds, leases, plats, and royalty documents from ca. 1880-1910.","There are several hand drawn survey maps of West Virginia lands in the Grape Island and Middle Island Creek area bordering the Ohio River, and plats of lands along Fish Pot Creek, Raven Rock, and Willow Island Creek in Pleasants and Tyler Counties pertaining to land acquisitions, contracts, and partnerships involving the Browse Family (ca. 1830-1910). There are also maps marking oil fields in Pleasants County (ca. 1900-1920), and maps of the city of Hutchinson, Kansas (1886), and the city of Chicago and the World's Fair (1893).","Series include:\n1) Diaries;\n2) Business Correspondence of the Browse Family;\n3) Clippings;\n4) Deeds and Land Surveys;\n5) Financial Records of Browse Family;\n6) Oil Records;\n7) Patents (land records);\n8) Subjects; and\n9) Oversized Separations."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePermission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

She has authored numerous writings for newspapers concerning local history and had several medical articles published in journals. In addition to her writings on local history, Margaret Ballard did genealogical research for other families as a professional genealogist. For a transcript of an oral history with Dr. Margaret Ballard conducted by Dr. George Parkinson, see Goldenseal Magazine, the April-June issue of 1977.","Papers of Dr. Margaret Byrnside Ballard (1900-1976), regarding the history of Monroe County, West Virginia, and the Ballard family. As a genealogist and author of local history, she was an avid collector of the historical materials contained in this collection, most of which relate to her family and Monroe County. The collection includes personal papers, business records, historical and genealogical research material, scrapbooks, bibles, memorabilia, artifacts, photographs, broadsides, paintings, and postage stamps.","Personal papers and business records include papers of the Ballard family, such as estate settlements and the papers of Helen Houston Ballard Clark, Margaret's sister; papers of her parents Isaac Newton Ballard and Kate May Walkup; and papers of Margaret Byrnside Ballard herself.","Historical and genealogical research material includes papers concerning local family genealogies that were compiled by Margaret Byrnside Ballard, materials compiled by Dr. Ballard concerning various topics of local history and of personal interest to her, and a genealogical index.","This series includes the business and personal papers of the Ballard family.

Ballard, and Isaac Newton Ballard; and Helen Ballard Clark, Isaac's daughter.","Helen Ballard Clark's papers include both business and personal papers (ca. 1920-1970s). Her business papers concern her book, Geraldine. Her personal papers include the manuscript and book, Geraldine; letters to her mother, Kate May Walkup Ballard; letters from friends; and memorabilia.","Isaac Newton Ballard's papers include both business and personal papers (ca. 1870s-1950s). He was the first president of the Bank of Greenville and a Postmaster at Greenville. He was also part owner of a general store in Union called Ballard and Arnott. Materials included in his business papers are routine business correspondence, correspondence concerning routine farm business and his various investments, New River Grocery, the Bank of Greenville, C\u0026P Telephone, property deeds, leases, tax and other receipts, store account books, and personal account books.

Ballard's family genealogy, William Ballard, with her handwritten annotations and newspaper clippings dealing with the Ballard family.","Although Series 1 contains the bulk of the business and personal papers generated by the Ballard family, many other family papers are interspersed throughout the collection. Margaret Ballard often arranged family papers in her collection according to subject matter rather than person of origin. For example, while a folder's subject heading may be Greenville Post Office, it may contain correspondence and other materials generated by I.N. Ballard because he was the Greenville Postmaster for a time. Many subject headings or family histories may be compared to research projects with the research materials used by M. Ballard contained within.","This series consists of materials concerning local family genealogies, local histories, and miscellaneous subjects.

Ballard's genealogical research for local families and her personal interest in the local history of Monroe County and the surrounding area.

In 1959, Bhaktipada graduated from Maryville College magna cum laude and received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship to pursue a doctorate in American history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Bhaktipada remained at North Carolina for three years before dropping out of school in 1961 due an alleged \"sex scandal\" involving a student.","Bhaktipada and his partner Howard Wheeler moved to New York City, where in 1966, they met A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). This religious movement is more commonly termed \"Hare Krishna\" and is a denomination of Hinduism. Bhaktipada became Bhaktivedanta's student and devotee, and later became an influential leader in the movement himself. Bhaktipada and Wheeler relocated to Marshall County, West Virginia and leased land near the town of Moundsville. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the land was purchased and developed as the community of New Vrindaban, with Bhaktipada as its spiritual leader.","Bhaktipada and New Vrindaban were the source of many controversies, both internally and externally. Bhaktipada was expelled by ISKCON in 1987, and New Vrindaban itself was also expelled the following year. Bhaktipada was indicted by a federal grand jury in 1990 on charges of mail fraud and racketeering. Although he was initially found guilty, his conviction was vacated on the basis of prejudicial testimony. In 1994, Bhaktipada was offered a plea bargain, which he refused. At the 1996 retrial, he ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and served time in jail from 1996 until 2004. He moved to India in 2008, where he died in October 2011 at age 74 after a period of illness.","Henry Doktorski served as New Vrindaban's Music Director from 1986-1993. In 1994, Doktorski relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to pursue his Masters Degree in Music Composition. Since then, he has performed with several symphony orchestras and performed solo accordion recitals across the country.","In 2018, Doktorski completed his first non-fiction book about Hare Krishna history, Killing for Krishna: The Danger of Deranged Devotion. Since then, he has published eleven more books about New Vrindaban and the Hare Krishnas, which have been the subject of a seven-part podcast series. Doktorski currently resides in California.","Some materials in this collection were sourced from the New Vrindaban property; others were created by Henry Doktorski in the course of his research.","This collection contains records pertaining to the community of New Vrindaban in Marshall County, West Virginia and its founder Kirtanananda Bhaktipada Swami (Keith Gordon Ham), a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) or \"Hare Krishna\" religious movement, until his expulsion in 1987. Compiled by Henry Doktorski, a former resident of New Vrindaban and author of several books on the subject, the collection includes records which provide insight into daily life in the commune, such as committee meeting minutes, housing contracts and behavioral guidelines for devotees. There are also audio recordings and written transcripts of meditation sessions and other spiritual practices.","The collection also delves into legal records, press coverage, court transcripts, witness testimony and evidence from multiple criminal and civil cases involving the New Vrindaban commune, several members, and its leader, Bhaktipada. Court transcripts include testimony from devotees revealing intimate details of New Vrindaban society. For example, due to the prominent role of devotee women on fundraising roadtrips, those researching the treatment of women at New Vrindaban might be interested in witness testimony from the 1991 racketeering trial.","The materials appear in a variety of formats, including papers, photographs, slides, cassettes, audio reels and artifacts, such as beads and clothing items.","This collection includes graphic crime scene photos and descriptions of domestic violence and child abuse that may be harmful or difficult to view.","Organization:","The collection is organized into twelve series.","Series 1: New Vrindaban, Records (1967-2015) – Papers related to the daily operation and organization of the New Vrindaban commune in Moundsville, West Virginia.","Series 2: Kirtanananda Bhaktipada Swami, Personal Papers and Correspondence (1949-2011) – Essays, meditations and letters written by the Swami Bhaktipada, as well as personal papers from his childhood and early adulthood.","Series 3: Henry Doktorski, Research and Correspondence (1974-2020) – Personal notes, incoming and outgoing letters, and academic articles pertaining to Doktorski's research for several books on New Vrindaban and Swami Bhaktipada.","Series 4: Steven Bryant (Sulocana Das), Personal Papers and Correspondence (1970-1989) – Personal papers and writings about New Vrindaban by former devotee Steven Bryant prior to his murder in 1986.","Series 5: Court Records and Police Reports (1968-1999) – Legal documents and evidence from civil and criminal cases related to the Swami Bhaktipada and New Vrindaban, including racketeering, arson, and homicide.","Series 6: News Clippings (1966-2019) – Newspaper, magazine and journal articles related to the New Vrindaban commune and Swami Bhaktipada.","Series 7: New Vrindaban and ISKCON Publications (1952-2015) – Hare Krishna associated newsletters, magazines and journals.","Series 8: Audiovisual and Digital Media (1970-2011) – Cassettes, magnetic audio tape, VHS tapes, and additional formats of meetings and religious ceremonies at New Vrindaban and religious music.","Series 9: Photographs and Slides (1970s-1990s) – Print photographs and slides depicting life in the New Vrindaban commune as well as several trips to India.","Series 10: Artifacts – Items from the New Vrindaban commune, such as beads and clothing.","Series 11: Books and Unpublished Drafts – Books and drafts written about ISKCON and religious sects, writings by the founder of Hare Krishna, Swami Bhaktipada, Henry Doktorski, Howard Wheeler and various New Vrindaban devotees.","Series 12: Miscellaneous","Note to researchers - Most devotees of New Vrindaban possess both a legal name and a spiritual name that are used interchangeably.
