She was the daughter of Augustus W. Sexton (1792-1870) and Anna Young Sexton (1796-1880), both of whom were born in Massachusetts and were part of the significant migration of settlers from New England to western Virginia after 1800. Amie Sexton Silcott was the youngest of five children. Her siblings included: Louisa Anna Sexton Hays (1822-1899); Freeman Sexton (1827-1911); Worthington Sexton (b. 1829); and Almira Emmaline Sexton Farmington (1834-1900).","Anna Young Sexton was the first school teacher in French Creek, and Augustus Sexton taught in schools for more than forty years. Amie's oldest sister, Louisa, was a teacher before her marriage, as was her brother. Born into a family that valued education, it's likely that Amie began her education at an early age. When school wasn't in session she studied various subjects on her own.","Since Amie's father was away during the winter months teaching, and her mother was busy managing a farm, it seems probable that Louisa, who was fourteen years older than Amie, looked after her. In May 1849 Louisa married Peregrine \"Perry\" Hays of Gilmer County and moved to Glenville. In June, Amie joined her on a visit. Thereafter she spent most of her remaining life with or near Louisa.","From an early age Amie liked to write letters and poetry, which was sometimes published in local newspapers. Amie first taught in Glenville at age sixteen. She later taught at schools in Harrison and Calhoun counties.","In 1859 Amie married George W. Silcott (1830-1903), the county clerk of Calhoun County. They built a home at Arnoldsburg, then the county seat. Their daughter, Ella Louise \"Nellie\" Silcott was born in 1860. When the Civil War broke out George Silcott supported the Confederate cause. Captured and later exchanged at Vicksburg in 1863, he returned to the Confederate army under General W. L. Jackson. In December 1864 Amie traveled to Monroe County to see her husband. She returned to Arnoldsburg in April 1865.","Amie Sexton Silcott fell ill after her return and in July 1865 she was too sick to get out of bed. Her health continued to decline and on November 30, 1865, she died of \"Lung fever\". She was buried at Arnoldsburg.","(Based on article authored by Hunter Armentrout that appeared in the Calhoun Chronicle in 2007.)","Minter Jackson:","Minter Jackson speculated on land in central western Virginia (West Virginia). Milton Norris conducted surveys of and drew plats for some of these lands, and in some cases, Jackson sold lands to Norris a year after he had surveyed them. Just before the Civil War Jackson moved to Marion, Virginia, in southwestern Virginia, where he was involved in banking.","(Information from Hunter Armentrout.)","Papers of historian and collector Hunter F. Armentrout of Gilmer County, West Virginia, primarily documenting the history of the Gilmer County region in the 19th century. Collection chiefly contains correspondence, writings, financial papers, and photographs, One major component of the collection includes the letters of Amie Evaline Sexton Silcott (1836-1865), a member of the Sexton family from New England who settled in western Virginia.

She was the daughter of Augustus W. Sexton (1792-1870) and Anna Young Sexton (1796-1880), both of whom were born in Massachusetts and were part of the significant migration of settlers from New England to western Virginia after 1800. Amie Sexton Silcott was the youngest of five children. Her siblings included: Louisa Anna Sexton Hays (1822-1899); Freeman Sexton (1827-1911); Worthington Sexton (b. 1829); and Almira Emmaline Sexton Farmington (1834-1900).","Anna Young Sexton was the first school teacher in French Creek, and Augustus Sexton taught in schools for more than forty years. Amie's oldest sister, Louisa, was a teacher before her marriage, as was her brother. Born into a family that valued education, it's likely that Amie began her education at an early age. When school wasn't in session she studied various subjects on her own.","Since Amie's father was away during the winter months teaching, and her mother was busy managing a farm, it seems probable that Louisa, who was fourteen years older than Amie, looked after her. In May 1849 Louisa married Peregrine \"Perry\" Hays of Gilmer County and moved to Glenville. In June, Amie joined her on a visit. Thereafter she spent most of her remaining life with or near Louisa.","From an early age Amie liked to write letters and poetry, which was sometimes published in local newspapers. Amie first taught in Glenville at age sixteen. She later taught at schools in Harrison and Calhoun counties.","In 1859 Amie married George W. Silcott (1830-1903), the county clerk of Calhoun County. They built a home at Arnoldsburg, then the county seat. Their daughter, Ella Louise \"Nellie\" Silcott was born in 1860. When the Civil War broke out George Silcott supported the Confederate cause. Captured and later exchanged at Vicksburg in 1863, he returned to the Confederate army under General W. L. Jackson. In December 1864 Amie traveled to Monroe County to see her husband. She returned to Arnoldsburg in April 1865.","Amie Sexton Silcott fell ill after her return and in July 1865 she was too sick to get out of bed. Her health continued to decline and on November 30, 1865, she died of \"Lung fever\". She was buried at Arnoldsburg.","(Based on article authored by Hunter Armentrout that appeared in the Calhoun Chronicle in 2007.)","Minter Jackson:","Minter Jackson speculated on land in central western Virginia (West Virginia). Milton Norris conducted surveys of and drew plats for some of these lands, and in some cases, Jackson sold lands to Norris a year after he had surveyed them. Just before the Civil War Jackson moved to Marion, Virginia, in southwestern Virginia, where he was involved in banking.","(Information from Hunter Armentrout.)","Papers of historian and collector Hunter F. Armentrout of Gilmer County, West Virginia, primarily documenting the history of the Gilmer County region in the 19th century. Collection chiefly contains correspondence, writings, financial papers, and photographs, One major component of the collection includes the letters of Amie Evaline Sexton Silcott (1836-1865), a member of the Sexton family from New England who settled in western Virginia.

Other materials include Armentrout's research notes, land speculation papers of Minter Jackson (ca. 1840-1860), a local World War II era newsletter (1942-1945), court documents regarding distribution of abolitionist literature (1857), and photographs regarding Glenville Normal School (ca. 1880-1920).","This series includes research notes and other materials as compiled by Hunter F. Armentrout chiefly related to Amie Sexton Silcott, including detailed listings and transcripts of her letters as well as a chronological listing of the letters (note that this chronological order was broken down by the donor and re-filed alphabetically but that the numerical annotations were retained).

His father was a prominent American\n                industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n                Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n                and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n                had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n                the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n                North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n                Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n                Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n                Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n                Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n                a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n                States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n                1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n                to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n                Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n                Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n                While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n                Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n                the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n                Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n                affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n                area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n                the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n                replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n                Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n                until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n                committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n                and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n                positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n                Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n                the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n                Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n                the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n                Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n                constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n                Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n                America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n                gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n                re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n                Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n                (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n                Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

In a rigorous, yet flexible environment of intellectual inquiry, students develop the critical skills that allow them not only to pursue rewarding careers, but to serve as responsible citizens of the 21st Century.","VERY IMPORTANT: Anyone quoting from or making substantial use of the oral histories collected here should consider THE SOUND RECORDINGS THE DEFINITIVE SOURCE. Transcripts, indexes, and key words are only tools meant to help guide users to the sound recordings. Most of these interviews were done by WDP student-interviewers. Most interviews combine a life history format with some questioning specific to a student-interviewer's research interests. As part of their training, WDP students do some group interviews and also interview one another, and the collection also contains these recordings. Additionally, the collection gathers some recordings that were done by other groups—for example, local volunteers helping commemorate Williamsburg's 300th anniversary. All oral history interviews conducted by the WDP are done following the Oral History Association's principles and best practices guidelines. Each record in the digital archive contains: a) a sound recording of an interview (WAV format; some MP3 format); a few recordings have been edited to reflect restrictions; some recordings are available for use only on-site in Swem Library's Special Collections b) an image of the Deed of Gift relevant to the interview (PDF or TIFF format) c) a \"live index\" to the recording (PDF format); these indexes were made by assistants to the main interviewer during the interview and, using time code, give a rough guide to major topics covered in the interview. d) a \"headnote\" (PDF format); written by the main interviewer, headnotes give some basic information on the circumstances in which the interview took place and highlight some key topics covered in the interview. Many records also contain: e) an interview transcript, which incorporates the headnote described above (PDF format); prepared by the main interviewer, transcripts attempt to render the dialogue of the interview in a way that is quickly searchable.

Molly Robinson conducted the interview and Michelle Lelièvre indexed. Students enrolled in the WDP also attended and interacted with Mrs. Montgomery during the interview. Prior to sitting down with us, Mrs. Montgomery gave the class a tour of the historic First Baptist Church. This enriching tour took up much of our class period, so Mrs. Montgomery scheduled a follow-up oral history that took place on April 4, 2024. In this first interview, she discusses growing up in Winter Park, Florida, attending Hungerford High School in Eatonville, FL, traveling and performing with musician Bill Doggett, raising her daughter during her career as a musician, getting married and moving to Williamsburg, starting credit unions in the town, and entering various leadership positions, including Chairperson of the History Ministry at First Baptist Church.

She also cites numerous educators, from her elementary school teacher to a professor with whom Poole traveled to Belize for a semester abroad, as inspiratory figures in the initial development of her almost 39-year career. Poole explains how working on the 1985 excavation of the Shields Tavern site while completing her Master's Thesis for her MA in Anthropology from William \u0026 Mary helped to both ground her roots in the Williamsburg community and provide her with invaluable on-the-ground skills, such as appreciating the value of minute details and archeological storytelling, that would become central in her later work. She discusses her contributions to the 2022 excavation of the First Baptist Church Cite as among her proudest projects, describing the uncovering of such a personal history for the descendant community as a fulfilling process that exemplifies the value of archaeology. Poole also explains how she balanced her dual interests in fieldwork and obligations as a public-facing archaeologist with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, recalling as paramount her skills in creative writing and community development. She advises future archaeologists to focus on a specialized field of research that interests them and communicate the relevant knowledge in ways that the general public can understand and appreciate.

Mr. Braxton was very engaged with the topic and welcoming of any questions that we had for him.  He began his interview by drawing out a revised version of a map of the Triangle, which we drew a copy of.  Having grown up in the area surrounding the Triangle, Mr. Braxton had a valuable perspective on the area.

The conversation spanned the pre-redevelopment, redevelopment, and post-redevelopment periods of the Triangle's history, starting from Mr. Harris's days at Marshall-Wythe Law School.

We discovered him through his association with the Society of Friends of African American History, the group responsible for the monument at the Triangle, so a lot of our focus was on that.

Conyers is a native to Williamsburg and has spent majority of his career in both local and federal government.

The Johnsons seemed happy to welcome us into their home and to speak with us about Brookhaven. They have participated in the Williamsburg Documentary Project in the past and are experienced interviewees among American Studies students.

She also cites numerous educators, from her elementary school teacher to a professor with whom Poole traveled to Belize for a semester abroad, as inspiratory figures in the initial development of her almost 39-year career. Poole explains how working on the 1985 excavation of the Shields Tavern site while completing her Master's Thesis for her MA in Anthropology from William \u0026amp; Mary helped to both ground her roots in the Williamsburg community and provide her with invaluable on-the-ground skills, such as appreciating the value of minute details and archeological storytelling, that would become central in her later work. She discusses her contributions to the 2022 excavation of the First Baptist Church Cite as among her proudest projects, describing the uncovering of such a personal history for the descendant community as a fulfilling process that exemplifies the value of archaeology. Poole also explains how she balanced her dual interests in fieldwork and obligations as a public-facing archaeologist with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, recalling as paramount her skills in creative writing and community development. She advises future archaeologists to focus on a specialized field of research that interests them and communicate the relevant knowledge in ways that the general public can understand and appreciate.

His father was a prominent American\n                industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n                Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n                and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n                had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n                the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n                North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n                Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n                Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n                Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n                Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n                a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n                States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n                1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n                to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n                Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n                Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n                While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n                Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n                the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n                Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n                affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n                area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n                the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n                replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n                Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n                until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n                committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n                and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n                positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n                Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n                the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n                Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n                the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n                Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n                constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n                Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n                America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n                gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n                re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n                Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n                (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n                Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

His father was a prominent American\n                industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n                Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n                and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n                had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n                the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n                North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n                Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n                Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n                Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n                Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n                a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n                States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n                1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n                to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n                Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n                Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n                While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n                Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n                the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n                Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n                affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n                area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n                the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n                replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n                Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n                until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982.

In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans.
