After her parents' deaths, \n          Louisa Minor was raised by her mother's\n         sister, \n          Mary Walker (Lewis) Leitch Anderson (March\n         25, 1793-June 21, 1872) of \"Pant-Ops,\" \n          Albemarle County . Throughout the diary, \n          Mary Walker Anderson and \n          David Anderson are referred to as \"Ma\" and\n         \"Daddy.\"","Louisa Minor 's diary, ca. 350 pages, kept\n         from September 1, 1855 to December 29, 1866, reveals her\n         personal feelings as well as both routine and extraordinary\n         events in the lives of herself and her family and friends. She\n         often writes about her weekly activities, especially church\n         attendance and social interactions with relatives and friends.\n         References to her family and friends often concern marriages,\n         births, illnesses, deaths, visits, and \n          Louisa Minor 's impressions about\n         individuals and the events in their lives. She also writes her\n         own poetry, quotes verses of others, and records her thoughts\n         on books she read and church sermons she heard.","There are frequent references to members of the \n          Minor family , especially \n          Louisa Minor 's brothers and sisters and\n         their families. While \n          Louisa Minor was still a small child, her\n         father and several offspring migrated to \n          Missouri , while others, including \n          Louisa Minor , remained in \n          Virginia . During the period of the diary,\n         the following siblings were living: \n          Mary Overton Minor (December 4, 1812-), \n          Garritt Minor (November 15, 1815-), \n          William Woolfolk Minor (March 10, 1817-May\n         3, 1885), \n          James Hunter Minor (November 15,\n         1818-April 12, 1862), \n          Samuel Overton Minor (May 12, 1820-March\n         24, 1880), \n          Nicholas Peter Minor (August 25, 1822-), \n          Bettie Lewis Minor (September 12, 1825-),\n         and \n          Sallie Watson Minor (January 3, 1829-March\n         1873). There are also references to more distant relatives as\n         well as friends of the \n          Anderson family , \n          Carr family , \n          Davis family , \n          Gilmer family , \n          Leitch family , \n          Lewis family , \n          Macmurdo family , \n          Meriwether family , \n          Minor family , \n          Randolph family and \n          Terrell family .","Louisa Minor was quite religious, often\n         attending church several times a week, and visiting churches\n         of different denominations, including \n          Grace Church , the \" \n          Brick Church , \" \n          the University \"Chapel\" (held at this time\n         in a room in the wing of the \n          Rotunda ), \n          St. Paul's Church , \n          the \"Monumental\" Church , and an \n          \"African\" Church in \n          Richmond . She heard some of the prominent\n         clergymen of the time such as \n          Ebenezer Boyden , \n          John Albert Broadus , \n          Dabney Carr Davis , \n          Richard Terrell Davis , \n          Richard Kidder Meade , \n          Bishop William Meade , Liberian Bishop \n          John S. Payne , and \n          Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer .","There are references to and some descriptions of places\n         visited and events attended, including the \n          Virginia State Fair in \n          Richmond in 1857 and again in 1860. \n          Louisa Minor often visited the nearby\n         estates of family and friends-- \n          Castalia , \n          Cloverfields , \n          Kinloch , \n          Locust Hill , \n          Music Hall , \n          Orange Dale --relating occurrences at\n         them. There are mentions of the funeral of the artist \n          John Toole (March 1860), the annual\n         celebrations of the \n          Jefferson Society and the \n          Washington [Literary] Society at the \n          University of Virginia as well as other\n         events at the University. Information on \n          Charlottesville is found throughout the\n         diary.","Prior to the beginning of the Civil War references to\n         blacks included news of freed servants sailing from \n          Norfolk to \n          Africa (December 1856), and later accounts\n         of many of their deaths while en route (April 1857). Also\n         during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n         of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n         insubordination among the servants at \n          Music Hall (August 1857). \n          Louisa Minor 's feelings toward the\n         uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n         felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n         the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n         understanding of any rebelliousness. This lack of\n         understanding seems evident in December 1865 when she wrote\n         that the \"freedmen seem to be having all the fun and goodies.\"\n         She wrote of their changing status, their unwillingness to\n         attend to the family's wants, and their still receiving daily\n         allowances--all with the belief that they had been treated\n         fairly (December 1865).","During the Civil War, \n          Louisa Minor wrote about occurrences in\n         more detail, although much of the news was indirect, through\n         hearsay or letters. In late 1860, \n          Louisa Minor wrote about the realization\n         of war, and the companies of infantry \"drawn out in all `the\n         pomp and circumstance of war'.\" Throughout the war she often\n         expressed the typical feelings of Southerners toward the\n         Northerners, the victories and losses of the \n          Confederate Army , heroes such as \n          \"Stonewall\" Jackson , destruction of land\n         and transportation modes, and the changing status of blacks.\n         From January 1861 through April 1865, \n          Louisa Minor reported on the progress of\n         the war. She mentions that when \n          Stonewall Jackson 's troops marched\n         through in June 1862, she spent the whole day feeding\n         soldiers, gave up her bed at night, and was paid a visit in\n         the parlor by General \n          Richard Ewell , \"a funny old\n         fellow...[with] the simplicity and heart of a child...\". She\n         also reports on a Christmas dinner given to over 1200 soldiers\n         at the \n          Delevan Hospital , \n          Charlottesville , and Custer's\n         diversionary raid on Rio Hill on February 29, 1864. As time\n         progressed, the effects of the war became personally evident\n         to \n          Louisa Minor as more and more of her\n         family and friends and the surrounding area were affected.\n         During late 1864,and early 1865, \n          Charlottesville was more involved in the\n         war, with Yankee raids and destruction of property. \n          Louisa Minor gives a fairly full account\n         of Federal troops passing through \n          Albemarle County in March 1865, and\n         describes the hardships of the first year of\n         Reconstruction.","Also included is a bequest, April 23, 1871, of \n          Mary Walker (Lewis) Anderson leaving her\n         table furniture, two feather beds and a trundle bed with bed\n         clothes, \"wearing clothes,\" tin ware, and all personal\n         property and money due her to \n          Louisa Minor .","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

Minor , born April 13, 1833,\n         was the youngest child of \n          Samuel Overton Minor ( -August 30, 1838)\n         and \n          Lydia Laurie (Lewis) Minor (February 15,\n         1795-August 8, 1833). After her parents' deaths, \n          Louisa Minor was raised by her mother's\n         sister, \n          Mary Walker (Lewis) Leitch Anderson (March\n         25, 1793-June 21, 1872) of \"Pant-Ops,\" \n          Albemarle County . Throughout the diary, \n          Mary Walker Anderson and \n          David Anderson are referred to as \"Ma\" and\n         \"Daddy.\"","Louisa Minor 's diary, ca. 350 pages, kept\n         from September 1, 1855 to December 29, 1866, reveals her\n         personal feelings as well as both routine and extraordinary\n         events in the lives of herself and her family and friends. She\n         often writes about her weekly activities, especially church\n         attendance and social interactions with relatives and friends.\n         References to her family and friends often concern marriages,\n         births, illnesses, deaths, visits, and \n          Louisa Minor 's impressions about\n         individuals and the events in their lives. She also writes her\n         own poetry, quotes verses of others, and records her thoughts\n         on books she read and church sermons she heard.","There are frequent references to members of the \n          Minor family , especially \n          Louisa Minor 's brothers and sisters and\n         their families. While \n          Louisa Minor was still a small child, her\n         father and several offspring migrated to \n          Missouri , while others, including \n          Louisa Minor , remained in \n          Virginia . During the period of the diary,\n         the following siblings were living: \n          Mary Overton Minor (December 4, 1812-), \n          Garritt Minor (November 15, 1815-), \n          William Woolfolk Minor (March 10, 1817-May\n         3, 1885), \n          James Hunter Minor (November 15,\n         1818-April 12, 1862), \n          Samuel Overton Minor (May 12, 1820-March\n         24, 1880), \n          Nicholas Peter Minor (August 25, 1822-), \n          Bettie Lewis Minor (September 12, 1825-),\n         and \n          Sallie Watson Minor (January 3, 1829-March\n         1873). There are also references to more distant relatives as\n         well as friends of the \n          Anderson family , \n          Carr family , \n          Davis family , \n          Gilmer family , \n          Leitch family , \n          Lewis family , \n          Macmurdo family , \n          Meriwether family , \n          Minor family , \n          Randolph family and \n          Terrell family .","Louisa Minor was quite religious, often\n         attending church several times a week, and visiting churches\n         of different denominations, including \n          Grace Church , the \" \n          Brick Church , \" \n          the University \"Chapel\" (held at this time\n         in a room in the wing of the \n          Rotunda ), \n          St. Paul's Church , \n          the \"Monumental\" Church , and an \n          \"African\" Church in \n          Richmond . She heard some of the prominent\n         clergymen of the time such as \n          Ebenezer Boyden , \n          John Albert Broadus , \n          Dabney Carr Davis , \n          Richard Terrell Davis , \n          Richard Kidder Meade , \n          Bishop William Meade , Liberian Bishop \n          John S. Payne , and \n          Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer .","There are references to and some descriptions of places\n         visited and events attended, including the \n          Virginia State Fair in \n          Richmond in 1857 and again in 1860. \n          Louisa Minor often visited the nearby\n         estates of family and friends-- \n          Castalia , \n          Cloverfields , \n          Kinloch , \n          Locust Hill , \n          Music Hall , \n          Orange Dale --relating occurrences at\n         them. There are mentions of the funeral of the artist \n          John Toole (March 1860), the annual\n         celebrations of the \n          Jefferson Society and the \n          Washington [Literary] Society at the \n          University of Virginia as well as other\n         events at the University. Information on \n          Charlottesville is found throughout the\n         diary.","Prior to the beginning of the Civil War references to\n         blacks included news of freed servants sailing from \n          Norfolk to \n          Africa (December 1856), and later accounts\n         of many of their deaths while en route (April 1857). Also\n         during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n         of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n         insubordination among the servants at \n          Music Hall (August 1857). \n          Louisa Minor 's feelings toward the\n         uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n         felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n         the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n         understanding of any rebelliousness. This lack of\n         understanding seems evident in December 1865 when she wrote\n         that the \"freedmen seem to be having all the fun and goodies.\"\n         She wrote of their changing status, their unwillingness to\n         attend to the family's wants, and their still receiving daily\n         allowances--all with the belief that they had been treated\n         fairly (December 1865).","During the Civil War, \n          Louisa Minor wrote about occurrences in\n         more detail, although much of the news was indirect, through\n         hearsay or letters. In late 1860, \n          Louisa Minor wrote about the realization\n         of war, and the companies of infantry \"drawn out in all `the\n         pomp and circumstance of war'.\" Throughout the war she often\n         expressed the typical feelings of Southerners toward the\n         Northerners, the victories and losses of the \n          Confederate Army , heroes such as \n          \"Stonewall\" Jackson , destruction of land\n         and transportation modes, and the changing status of blacks.\n         From January 1861 through April 1865, \n          Louisa Minor reported on the progress of\n         the war. She mentions that when \n          Stonewall Jackson 's troops marched\n         through in June 1862, she spent the whole day feeding\n         soldiers, gave up her bed at night, and was paid a visit in\n         the parlor by General \n          Richard Ewell , \"a funny old\n         fellow...[with] the simplicity and heart of a child...\". She\n         also reports on a Christmas dinner given to over 1200 soldiers\n         at the \n          Delevan Hospital , \n          Charlottesville , and Custer's\n         diversionary raid on Rio Hill on February 29, 1864. As time\n         progressed, the effects of the war became personally evident\n         to \n          Louisa Minor as more and more of her\n         family and friends and the surrounding area were affected.\n         During late 1864,and early 1865, \n          Charlottesville was more involved in the\n         war, with Yankee raids and destruction of property. \n          Louisa Minor gives a fairly full account\n         of Federal troops passing through \n          Albemarle County in March 1865, and\n         describes the hardships of the first year of\n         Reconstruction.","Also included is a bequest, April 23, 1871, of \n          Mary Walker (Lewis) Anderson leaving her\n         table furniture, two feather beds and a trundle bed with bed\n         clothes, \"wearing clothes,\" tin ware, and all personal\n         property and money due her to \n          Louisa Minor .","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

Duke (February 6, 1865) from \n          W. F.

Col. Duke was sent there after being captured on\n         April 6, 1865 at \n          Sayler's Creek.","Duke reports that the prisoners of war received good\n         treatment from General \n          Ulysses S. Grant 's men, who divided their\n         rations with them and did not submit them to taunts or insults\n         during the march north, and he also mentions that the living\n         conditions of the prison itself were quite bearable (April 20,\n         1865).","In a later letter (June 9, 1865), he asks his wife to write\n         a letter to President \n          Andrew Johnson for his release as all\n         officers above the rank of major will be released only upon\n         special application. He tells her to bring up several points\n         in her petition: 1) he is needed at home to provide for her\n         and their children, 2) he has no influential friends to work\n         on his behalf to secure his release, 3) he is opposed to\n         guerilla war and he refused to allow his son William to join \n          John Singleton Mosby's Raiders .","Duke reports the release of all prisoners below the rank of\n         major and again requests his wife's aid in securing a special\n         release for himself. In this letter (June 10, 1865), he\n         suggests that she write to General Grant telling him that\n         their income is limited, he is needed at home, she will be\n         responsible for his good behavior, he is opposed to guerilla\n         war, and that he applied on April 25 to take the amnesty oath.\n         In addition, he tells her to go to the commander of the\n         Federal forces in \n          Charlottesville and ask him to write to\n         General Grant to secure a release for him based on character\n         references from leading citizens of \n          Charlottesville . Col. \n          R. T. W. Duke also furnishes a detailed\n         description of the \n          Johnson's Island prison and the place of\n         confinement called the \"Bull pen\", mentioning the gardens of\n         some of the officers, the rations of bread, meat, salt, soap,\n         beans, and hominy, and the presence of a sutter and his store\n         in the pen.","In the fourth letter, he writes concerning the decision of\n         his former slave \n          Jane to leave the Duke farm before his\n         return home, and he tells his wife to get the others to stay\n         on until he can negotiate their hire (June 29, 1865).","Other family letters include one from Col. Duke to his son,\n          R. T. W.

The material\n         relates to the \n          Smith family of \n          Staunton , the \n          Lewis family of \n          Sweet Springs (now \n          West Virginia ) and the \n          Cochran family of \n          Charlottesville and \n          Staunton .","Folly Farm was founded by \n          Joseph Smith in 1818 and is located about\n         two miles south of \n          Staunton on Route 11. It has a serpentine\n         wall which was designed by \n          Thomas Jefferson .","Correspondence of the \n          Cochran family is mainly concerned with\n         family relationships. A few letters relate events in the Civil\n         War. An October 17, 1861 letter speaks of an overcoat factory\n         founded by \n          Staunton women. In a letter to \n          Maggie Cochran (July 1, 1862) the victory\n         over McClellan at \n          Frasyers Farm is described. A letter to \n          Mittie Cochran (September 2, 1861)\n         mentions an engagement near \n          Fairfax . \n          Joseph S. Cochran attended the \n          University of Virginia and a letter from\n         him (October 7, 1890) mentions his impressions of Professors \n          [Albert Henry] Tuttle and \n          [John William] Mallet .","Letters between \n          John Lewis Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran deals\n         chiefly with family matters. The letter of September 7, 1857\n         mentions the status of their business operations. An\n         interesting letter (June 27, 1848) gives a view of slavery and\n         abolitionists. \n          Nannie Cochran 's death and its effects is\n         mentioned in August 20, 1863.","Letters between \n          Howe Peyton Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran are about\n         personal affairs and the Civil War. The early letters concern \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's attendance of the \n          Hanover Academy where he was very bored\n         and often homesick except when he traveled to \n          Richmond . Some interesting Civil War\n         letters are July 27, Sept 5, 14, \u0026 20, 1861. \n          Howe Peyton Cochran left the active\n         service when a substitute was bought for him (May 23, 1862). A\n         n.d. letter mentions \n          Monticello hospital being condemned due to\n         Typhoid fever. The letter of August 16, 1863 mentions the\n         deaths of \n          Nannie Cohran and \n          Maggie Cochran .","Letters between \n          Willie Lynn Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran were written\n         while \n          Willie Lynn Cochran attended school in \n          Brownsburg and mostly contain pleas for\n         more letters from home.","Letters between \n          Howe Peyton Cochran and his wife \n          Nannie L. (Carrington) Cochran (married\n         December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n         personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n         the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment ( \n          1st regiment Virginia Artillery ) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n          Tom Cobb , \n          Howell Cobb , Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n         preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n          Yorktown . The letters of April 1862\n         contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n          Yorktown . The letters of May 9 and 14,\n         1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n          Williamsburg which \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment did not\n         participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n          Randolph Macon , becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n          James Cochran 's unit. A son ( \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , named for \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother who died during\n         the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n          Nannie Cochran died, apparently as a\n         result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n         1863.","Joseph D. Cochran 's application for a \n          University of Missouri chemistry chair\n         mentions his teachers (August 8, 1890) while at the \n          University of Virginia and \n          College of Richmond . The letter of August\n         21, 1890 states he received references from Professors \n          [John William] Mallet , \n          [Francis Perry] Dunnington , \n          [George Frederick] Holmes , and \n          [Ormond] Stone of the \n          University of Virginia , Professor Puryear\n         of the \n          College of Richmond , and his present\n         congressman \n          [Henry St. George] Tucker .","In Letters to \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , two stirring\n         accounts of the virtue of \n          Nannie Cochran and her death are given on\n         the first birthday of \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , July 31,\n         1864.","In Letters to \n          Henry Cochran family affairs are\n         discussed. An October 11, 1862 letter mentions prices of basic\n         foods and how the state is covered with blood, \"Turn whichever\n         way you may nothing meets your eye, but maimed and bleeding\n         soldiers.\" A January 15, 1863 letter mentions the death of \n          Maggie Cochran from Typhoid Fever and\n         pneumonia. On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n         battle of \n          Culpepper . A March 31, 1863 letter\n         mentions houses and hospitals being destroyed to use the wood\n         for fuel. An April 16, 1863 letter mentions the prices of\n         food.","Letters to \n          Howe Peyton Cochran contain more letters\n         about family affairs. Howe was perusing a teaching job at \n          Randolph Macon and the letters of November\n         20, \u0026 27, 1861 mention the peculiarity of the trustees who\n         wished for their teachers to be Methodist and in the military.\n         A letter of April 14, 1862 mentions the death of \n          Campbell Carrington ( \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother) after the\n         battle of \n          Cournif on April 11, 1862.","Letters to Colonel and Mrs. \n          James C. Cochran include correspondence\n         between their sons \n          John L. Cochran , \n          Joseph D. Cochran , and daughter \n          Anne Cochran who went to \n          Gainesville, Florida because of \n          John Cochran 's ill health in 1886. The\n         letters give the progression of \n          John Cochran 's sickness which did not\n         improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n         February 1887 after his return to \n          Staunton .","Letters to \n          John Cochran contains an interesting\n         letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n         hogs.","Letters to \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran contain\n         letters from her brother \n          Thomas Preston Lewis who served with the \n          War Department in the 1850's. There are\n         two interesting letters: January 5, 1852 which mentions the\n         visit of a Magyar to \n          Congress who apparently impressed\n         everyone, and the concern of the American government over \n          Napoleon Bonaparte who was coming to power\n         in \n          France ; and, March 6, 1859 which mentions\n         the factional wars going on in congress and the affect it had\n         on the treasury.","The first few letters to \n          Nannie (Carrington) Cochran are from\n         relations and friends unable to attend her and \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's wedding. The letter\n         of June 10, 1861 is from \n          John Lewis Cochran and contains very\n         interesting Civil War information, including the Union's\n         treatment of prisoners.","The letters to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis have been removed\n         from a letter book containing mostly business letters. There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received the right to\n         practice law in \n          Virginia on September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n          census bureau (October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n          War Department based on recommendations by\n          Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart (November 15,\n         1850.) \n          Thomas Preston Lewis ' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n          Point Pleasant and an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n          Thomas Preston Lewis has at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n          John Buchanan Floyd . October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n          William Sparrow . March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n          Thomas Preston Lewis lost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n          Thomas Preston Lewis trying to collect on\n         his debts. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis attempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received help from \n          John F. Lewis in getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n          John F. Lewis had assisted \n          Thomas Preston Lewis before getting him\n         appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n         28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n          B. F. Ballard and mentions that he will\n         call for a new \n          West Virginia constitution. Three letters\n         concern the sale of land held in \n          Iowa which \n          Thomas Preston Lewis got from his debt\n         collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n         25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n         notice placed by \n          Thomas Preston Lewis to bring all claims\n         for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n         1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n          Rawley Springs in \n          Rockingham County, Virginia . Letters of\n         December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n         18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis starting and running\n         a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis . On September 10,\n         1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n          Florida school system.","Letters to \n          Ann M. Peyton from her sister \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran mention the \n          Cochran family 's move from \n          Staunton to \n          Charlottesville (October 24, 1826.) A\n         letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n         Mary.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith contain many applications for\n         loans. \n          Joseph Smith served in the \n          General Assembly from December 1, 1817 to\n         February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n         January 26, 1832 from \n          R. S. Brooke which concerns the debate in\n         the \n          General Assembly over slavery and the\n         conflict abolition has with personal property and\n         compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n         by \n          Joseph Smith to be $74,900.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith from \n          William Widdifield are mainly concerned\n         with the collection of a debt from \n          David Paul Brown . A letter of March 3,\n         1862 mentions \n          Joseph Smith 's brothers \n          Abraham Smith and \n          Silas H. Smith .","Appointments contain some of the appointments and\n         promotions of the families. \n          James Cochran was appointed justice of the\n         peace in \n          Augusta county in 1798. There are \n          Joseph Smith 's military promotions while\n         a member of \n          Virginia's 32nd militia . \n          James Cochran was appointed Postmaster of \n          Folly Mills in 1874.","Business Papers contain bills, receipts and promissory\n         notes. One bill of June 15, 1815 is from \n          Joseph Smith to the \n          United States for determining the number\n         of taxable people and taxable items in \n          Augusta county ; the total number of\n         taxable people was 589. \n          Joseph Smith was a life member of the \n          Virginia Agricultural Society (October 11,\n         1854.) Also there are five \n          South Carolina bonds issued after the\n         Civil War, but never cashed in.","Essays and Poetry include a poem lamenting the death of \n          Elizabeth Battaile Smith (November 17,\n         1810), a poem about an insane hospital in \n          Boston (March 1830), an obituary of \n          Magdalene Crawford (May 21, 1849), and\n         lecture notes to teach Physics (n.d.)","French Spoliation claims represent the attempt to get money\n         for the damages done by the French before 1800. The \n          United States , however, had exonerated\n         the French from having to pay so many felt the \n          Federal government should pay the\n         damages.","Inventories of Debts due \n          Joseph Smith contain detailed lists of\n         everyone and every business which owed \n          Joseph Smith money. The amounts were\n         considerable, some reaching as high as $134,000.","Legal documents contain mostly deeds and a few court case\n         decisions.","Slave Lists list all the slaves owned by \n          Joseph Smith and are divided into those\n         which are hired out and those which remain at home.

He received\n         appointments in the \n          census bureau (October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n          War Department based on recommendations by\n          Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart (November 15,\n         1850.) \n          Thomas Preston Lewis ' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n          Point Pleasant and an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n          Thomas Preston Lewis has at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n          John Buchanan Floyd . October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n          William Sparrow . March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n          Thomas Preston Lewis lost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n          Thomas Preston Lewis trying to collect on\n         his debts. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis attempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received help from \n          John F. Lewis in getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n          John F. Lewis had assisted \n          Thomas Preston Lewis before getting him\n         appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n         28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n          B. F. Ballard and mentions that he will\n         call for a new \n          West Virginia constitution. Three letters\n         concern the sale of land held in \n          Iowa which \n          Thomas Preston Lewis got from his debt\n         collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n         25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n         notice placed by \n          Thomas Preston Lewis to bring all claims\n         for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n         1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n          Rawley Springs in \n          Rockingham County, Virginia . Letters of\n         December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n         18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis starting and running\n         a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis . On September 10,\n         1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n          Florida school system.","Letters to \n          Ann M. Peyton from her sister \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran mention the \n          Cochran family 's move from \n          Staunton to \n          Charlottesville (October 24, 1826.) A\n         letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n         Mary.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith contain many applications for\n         loans. \n          Joseph Smith served in the \n          General Assembly from December 1, 1817 to\n         February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n         January 26, 1832 from \n          R. S. Brooke which concerns the debate in\n         the \n          General Assembly over slavery and the\n         conflict abolition has with personal property and\n         compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n         by \n          Joseph Smith to be $74,900.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith from \n          William Widdifield are mainly concerned\n         with the collection of a debt from \n          David Paul Brown . A letter of March 3,\n         1862 mentions \n          Joseph Smith 's brothers \n          Abraham Smith and \n          Silas H. Smith .","Appointments contain some of the appointments and\n         promotions of the families. \n          James Cochran was appointed justice of the\n         peace in \n          Augusta county in 1798. There are \n          Joseph Smith 's military promotions while\n         a member of \n          Virginia's 32nd militia . \n          James Cochran was appointed Postmaster of \n          Folly Mills in 1874.","Business Papers contain bills, receipts and promissory\n         notes. One bill of June 15, 1815 is from \n          Joseph Smith to the \n          United States for determining the number\n         of taxable people and taxable items in \n          Augusta county ; the total number of\n         taxable people was 589. \n          Joseph Smith was a life member of the \n          Virginia Agricultural Society (October 11,\n         1854.) Also there are five \n          South Carolina bonds issued after the\n         Civil War, but never cashed in.","Essays and Poetry include a poem lamenting the death of \n          Elizabeth Battaile Smith (November 17,\n         1810), a poem about an insane hospital in \n          Boston (March 1830), an obituary of \n          Magdalene Crawford (May 21, 1849), and\n         lecture notes to teach Physics (n.d.)","French Spoliation claims represent the attempt to get money\n         for the damages done by the French before 1800. The \n          United States , however, had exonerated\n         the French from having to pay so many felt the \n          Federal government should pay the\n         damages.","Inventories of Debts due \n          Joseph Smith contain detailed lists of\n         everyone and every business which owed \n          Joseph Smith money. The amounts were\n         considerable, some reaching as high as $134,000.","Legal documents contain mostly deeds and a few court case\n         decisions.","Slave Lists list all the slaves owned by \n          Joseph Smith and are divided into those\n         which are hired out and those which remain at home. A n.d.\n         item lists the amount spent on some of the slaves for\n         Christmas gifts.","Miscellaneous material includes a confirmation certificate\n         of \n          Ann (Price) Smith (June 5, 1811), lottery\n         tickets (1812), report cards of \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran (1872), a\n         survey attempting to promote the new South (1894), and\n         business cards of \n          Joseph Smith and Dr. \n          Henry Cochran .","index at back of second folder"],"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"],"userestrict_tesim":["See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc/\u003e"],"physloc_tesim":[""],"names_ssim":["University of Virginia.

A few letters relate events in the Civil\n         War. An October 17, 1861 letter speaks of an overcoat factory\n         founded by \n          Staunton women. In a letter to \n          Maggie Cochran (July 1, 1862) the victory\n         over McClellan at \n          Frasyers Farm is described. A letter to \n          Mittie Cochran (September 2, 1861)\n         mentions an engagement near \n          Fairfax . \n          Joseph S. Cochran attended the \n          University of Virginia and a letter from\n         him (October 7, 1890) mentions his impressions of Professors \n          [Albert Henry] Tuttle and \n          [John William] Mallet .","Letters between \n          John Lewis Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran deals\n         chiefly with family matters. The letter of September 7, 1857\n         mentions the status of their business operations. An\n         interesting letter (June 27, 1848) gives a view of slavery and\n         abolitionists. \n          Nannie Cochran 's death and its effects is\n         mentioned in August 20, 1863.","Letters between \n          Howe Peyton Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran are about\n         personal affairs and the Civil War. The early letters concern \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's attendance of the \n          Hanover Academy where he was very bored\n         and often homesick except when he traveled to \n          Richmond . Some interesting Civil War\n         letters are July 27, Sept 5, 14, \u0026 20, 1861. \n          Howe Peyton Cochran left the active\n         service when a substitute was bought for him (May 23, 1862). A\n         n.d. letter mentions \n          Monticello hospital being condemned due to\n         Typhoid fever.

(Carrington) Cochran (married\n         December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n         personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n         the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment ( \n          1st regiment Virginia Artillery ) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n          Tom Cobb , \n          Howell Cobb , Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n         preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n          Yorktown . The letters of April 1862\n         contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n          Yorktown . The letters of May 9 and 14,\n         1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n          Williamsburg which \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment did not\n         participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n          Randolph Macon , becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n          James Cochran 's unit. A son ( \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , named for \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother who died during\n         the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n          Nannie Cochran died, apparently as a\n         result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n         1863.","Joseph D. Cochran 's application for a \n          University of Missouri chemistry chair\n         mentions his teachers (August 8, 1890) while at the \n          University of Virginia and \n          College of Richmond .

An October 11, 1862 letter mentions prices of basic\n         foods and how the state is covered with blood, \"Turn whichever\n         way you may nothing meets your eye, but maimed and bleeding\n         soldiers.\" A January 15, 1863 letter mentions the death of \n          Maggie Cochran from Typhoid Fever and\n         pneumonia. On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n         battle of \n          Culpepper . A March 31, 1863 letter\n         mentions houses and hospitals being destroyed to use the wood\n         for fuel. An April 16, 1863 letter mentions the prices of\n         food.","Letters to \n          Howe Peyton Cochran contain more letters\n         about family affairs. Howe was perusing a teaching job at \n          Randolph Macon and the letters of November\n         20, \u0026 27, 1861 mention the peculiarity of the trustees who\n         wished for their teachers to be Methodist and in the military.\n         A letter of April 14, 1862 mentions the death of \n          Campbell Carrington ( \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother) after the\n         battle of \n          Cournif on April 11, 1862.","Letters to Colonel and Mrs. \n          James C.

The\n         letters give the progression of \n          John Cochran 's sickness which did not\n         improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n         February 1887 after his return to \n          Staunton .","Letters to \n          John Cochran contains an interesting\n         letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n         hogs.","Letters to \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran contain\n         letters from her brother \n          Thomas Preston Lewis who served with the \n          War Department in the 1850's.

The letter\n         of June 10, 1861 is from \n          John Lewis Cochran and contains very\n         interesting Civil War information, including the Union's\n         treatment of prisoners.","The letters to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis have been removed\n         from a letter book containing mostly business letters. There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received the right to\n         practice law in \n          Virginia on September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n          census bureau (October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n          War Department based on recommendations by\n          Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart (November 15,\n         1850.) \n          Thomas Preston Lewis ' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n          Point Pleasant and an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n          Thomas Preston Lewis has at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n          John Buchanan Floyd . October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n          William Sparrow . March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n          Thomas Preston Lewis lost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n          Thomas Preston Lewis trying to collect on\n         his debts. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis attempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received help from \n          John F. Lewis in getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n          John F. Lewis had assisted \n          Thomas Preston Lewis before getting him\n         appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n         28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n          B. F. Ballard and mentions that he will\n         call for a new \n          West Virginia constitution. Three letters\n         concern the sale of land held in \n          Iowa which \n          Thomas Preston Lewis got from his debt\n         collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n         25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n         notice placed by \n          Thomas Preston Lewis to bring all claims\n         for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n         1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n          Rawley Springs in \n          Rockingham County, Virginia . Letters of\n         December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n         18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis starting and running\n         a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis . On September 10,\n         1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n          Florida school system.","Letters to \n          Ann M. Peyton from her sister \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran mention the \n          Cochran family 's move from \n          Staunton to \n          Charlottesville (October 24, 1826.) A\n         letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n         Mary.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith contain many applications for\n         loans. \n          Joseph Smith served in the \n          General Assembly from December 1, 1817 to\n         February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n         January 26, 1832 from \n          R. S. Brooke which concerns the debate in\n         the \n          General Assembly over slavery and the\n         conflict abolition has with personal property and\n         compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n         by \n          Joseph Smith to be $74,900.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith from \n          William Widdifield are mainly concerned\n         with the collection of a debt from \n          David Paul Brown . A letter of March 3,\n         1862 mentions \n          Joseph Smith 's brothers \n          Abraham Smith and \n          Silas H. Smith .","Appointments contain some of the appointments and\n         promotions of the families. \n          James Cochran was appointed justice of the\n         peace in \n          Augusta county in 1798. There are \n          Joseph Smith 's military promotions while\n         a member of \n          Virginia's 32nd militia . \n          James Cochran was appointed Postmaster of \n          Folly Mills in 1874.","Business Papers contain bills, receipts and promissory\n         notes. One bill of June 15, 1815 is from \n          Joseph Smith to the \n          United States for determining the number\n         of taxable people and taxable items in \n          Augusta county ; the total number of\n         taxable people was 589. \n          Joseph Smith was a life member of the \n          Virginia Agricultural Society (October 11,\n         1854.) Also there are five \n          South Carolina bonds issued after the\n         Civil War, but never cashed in.","Essays and Poetry include a poem lamenting the death of \n          Elizabeth Battaile Smith (November 17,\n         1810), a poem about an insane hospital in \n          Boston (March 1830), an obituary of \n          Magdalene Crawford (May 21, 1849), and\n         lecture notes to teach Physics (n.d.)","French Spoliation claims represent the attempt to get money\n         for the damages done by the French before 1800. The \n          United States , however, had exonerated\n         the French from having to pay so many felt the \n          Federal government should pay the\n         damages.","Inventories of Debts due \n          Joseph Smith contain detailed lists of\n         everyone and every business which owed \n          Joseph Smith money. The amounts were\n         considerable, some reaching as high as $134,000.","Legal documents contain mostly deeds and a few court case\n         decisions.","Slave Lists list all the slaves owned by \n          Joseph Smith and are divided into those\n         which are hired out and those which remain at home. A n.d.\n         item lists the amount spent on some of the slaves for\n         Christmas gifts.","Miscellaneous material includes a confirmation certificate\n         of \n          Ann (Price) Smith (June 5, 1811), lottery\n         tickets (1812), report cards of \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran (1872), a\n         survey attempting to promote the new South (1894), and\n         business cards of \n          Joseph Smith and Dr. \n          Henry Cochran .","index at back of second folder","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start.

A few letters relate events in the Civil\n         War. An October 17, 1861 letter speaks of an overcoat factory\n         founded by \n          Staunton women. In a letter to \n          Maggie Cochran (July 1, 1862) the victory\n         over McClellan at \n          Frasyers Farm is described. A letter to \n          Mittie Cochran (September 2, 1861)\n         mentions an engagement near \n          Fairfax . \n          Joseph S.

The letter of September 7, 1857\n         mentions the status of their business operations. An\n         interesting letter (June 27, 1848) gives a view of slavery and\n         abolitionists. \n          Nannie Cochran 's death and its effects is\n         mentioned in August 20, 1863.","Letters between \n          Howe Peyton Cochran and his mother \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran are about\n         personal affairs and the Civil War. The early letters concern \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's attendance of the \n          Hanover Academy where he was very bored\n         and often homesick except when he traveled to \n          Richmond . Some interesting Civil War\n         letters are July 27, Sept 5, 14, \u0026 20, 1861. \n          Howe Peyton Cochran left the active\n         service when a substitute was bought for him (May 23, 1862). A\n         n.d. letter mentions \n          Monticello hospital being condemned due to\n         Typhoid fever.

(Carrington) Cochran (married\n         December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n         personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n         the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment ( \n          1st regiment Virginia Artillery ) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n          Tom Cobb , \n          Howell Cobb , Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n         preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n          Yorktown . The letters of April 1862\n         contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n          Yorktown . The letters of May 9 and 14,\n         1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n          Williamsburg which \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's regiment did not\n         participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n          Randolph Macon , becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n          James Cochran 's unit. A son ( \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , named for \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother who died during\n         the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n          Nannie Cochran died, apparently as a\n         result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n         1863.","Joseph D. Cochran 's application for a \n          University of Missouri chemistry chair\n         mentions his teachers (August 8, 1890) while at the \n          University of Virginia and \n          College of Richmond . The letter of August\n         21, 1890 states he received references from Professors \n          [John William] Mallet , \n          [Francis Perry] Dunnington , \n          [George Frederick] Holmes , and \n          [Ormond] Stone of the \n          University of Virginia , Professor Puryear\n         of the \n          College of Richmond , and his present\n         congressman \n          [Henry St. George] Tucker .","In Letters to \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , two stirring\n         accounts of the virtue of \n          Nannie Cochran and her death are given on\n         the first birthday of \n          Campbell Carrington Cochran , July 31,\n         1864.","In Letters to \n          Henry Cochran family affairs are\n         discussed. An October 11, 1862 letter mentions prices of basic\n         foods and how the state is covered with blood, \"Turn whichever\n         way you may nothing meets your eye, but maimed and bleeding\n         soldiers.\" A January 15, 1863 letter mentions the death of \n          Maggie Cochran from Typhoid Fever and\n         pneumonia. On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n         battle of \n          Culpepper . A March 31, 1863 letter\n         mentions houses and hospitals being destroyed to use the wood\n         for fuel. An April 16, 1863 letter mentions the prices of\n         food.","Letters to \n          Howe Peyton Cochran contain more letters\n         about family affairs. Howe was perusing a teaching job at \n          Randolph Macon and the letters of November\n         20, \u0026 27, 1861 mention the peculiarity of the trustees who\n         wished for their teachers to be Methodist and in the military.\n         A letter of April 14, 1862 mentions the death of \n          Campbell Carrington ( \n          Nannie Cochran 's brother) after the\n         battle of \n          Cournif on April 11, 1862.","Letters to Colonel and Mrs. \n          James C.

Cochran , and daughter \n          Anne Cochran who went to \n          Gainesville, Florida because of \n          John Cochran 's ill health in 1886. The\n         letters give the progression of \n          John Cochran 's sickness which did not\n         improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n         February 1887 after his return to \n          Staunton .","Letters to \n          John Cochran contains an interesting\n         letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n         hogs.","Letters to \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran contain\n         letters from her brother \n          Thomas Preston Lewis who served with the \n          War Department in the 1850's. There are\n         two interesting letters: January 5, 1852 which mentions the\n         visit of a Magyar to \n          Congress who apparently impressed\n         everyone, and the concern of the American government over \n          Napoleon Bonaparte who was coming to power\n         in \n          France ; and, March 6, 1859 which mentions\n         the factional wars going on in congress and the affect it had\n         on the treasury.","The first few letters to \n          Nannie (Carrington) Cochran are from\n         relations and friends unable to attend her and \n          Howe Peyton Cochran 's wedding. The letter\n         of June 10, 1861 is from \n          John Lewis Cochran and contains very\n         interesting Civil War information, including the Union's\n         treatment of prisoners.","The letters to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis have been removed\n         from a letter book containing mostly business letters. There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received the right to\n         practice law in \n          Virginia on September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n          census bureau (October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n          War Department based on recommendations by\n          Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart (November 15,\n         1850.) \n          Thomas Preston Lewis ' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n          Point Pleasant and an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n          Thomas Preston Lewis has at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n          John Buchanan Floyd . October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n          William Sparrow . March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n          Thomas Preston Lewis lost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n          Thomas Preston Lewis trying to collect on\n         his debts. \n          Thomas Preston Lewis attempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n          Thomas Preston Lewis received help from \n          John F. Lewis in getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n          John F. Lewis had assisted \n          Thomas Preston Lewis before getting him\n         appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n         28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n          B. F. Ballard and mentions that he will\n         call for a new \n          West Virginia constitution. Three letters\n         concern the sale of land held in \n          Iowa which \n          Thomas Preston Lewis got from his debt\n         collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n         25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n         notice placed by \n          Thomas Preston Lewis to bring all claims\n         for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n         1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n          Rawley Springs in \n          Rockingham County, Virginia . Letters of\n         December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n         18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis starting and running\n         a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n          Thomas Preston Lewis . On September 10,\n         1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n          Florida school system.","Letters to \n          Ann M. Peyton from her sister \n          Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochran mention the \n          Cochran family 's move from \n          Staunton to \n          Charlottesville (October 24, 1826.) A\n         letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n         Mary.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith contain many applications for\n         loans. \n          Joseph Smith served in the \n          General Assembly from December 1, 1817 to\n         February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n         January 26, 1832 from \n          R. S. Brooke which concerns the debate in\n         the \n          General Assembly over slavery and the\n         conflict abolition has with personal property and\n         compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n         by \n          Joseph Smith to be $74,900.","Letters to \n          Joseph Smith from \n          William Widdifield are mainly concerned\n         with the collection of a debt from \n          David Paul Brown . A letter of March 3,\n         1862 mentions \n          Joseph Smith 's brothers \n          Abraham Smith and \n          Silas H. Smith .","Appointments contain some of the appointments and\n         promotions of the families. \n          James Cochran was appointed justice of the\n         peace in \n          Augusta county in 1798. There are \n          Joseph Smith 's military promotions while\n         a member of \n          Virginia's 32nd militia . \n          James Cochran was appointed Postmaster of \n          Folly Mills in 1874.","Business Papers contain bills, receipts and promissory\n         notes.
