At an early age his family moved to a farm\n in rural Orange County, Va. Almond entered the University of\n Virginia in 1917 as a member of the Student Army Training\n Corps but withdrew a year later and consequently served for a\n year as principal of the Zoar High School near Roanoke, Va.,\n 1921- 1922. He then entered the University of Virginia School\n of Law and earned his law degree in 1923. He had been admitted\n to the Virginia Bar in 1921. He was in private practice as a\n lawyer in Roanoke, Va., 1923- 1932, and quickly became known\n for his handling of criminal cases.","A Democrat, Almond's interest in politics began in his\n teens. His involvement with Democrat Harry Flood Byrd began in\n 1925, when Almond made several speeches in support of Byrd's\n gubernatorial campaign. With Byrd's help, Almond was appointed\n assistant Commonwealth's attorney for the city of Roanoke,\n 1930-1933, and a judge of the Roanoke Hustings court,\n 1933-1945. He was later appointed to the 79th U.S. Congress\n and elected a member of the 80th U.S. Congress. The Virginia\n Democratic Party, led by Harry F. Byrd, asked Almond to step\n down from his Congressional seat and run for attorney general\n of Virginia, to which position he was elected in 1948. He\n served in this office until 1957, at which time he resigned to\n run for governor of Virginia.","Both Almond's campaign for and service as governor were\n dominated by Virginia's response to the Supreme Court's school\n desegregation edict. As governor, he inherited a program of\n \"massive resistance\" designed to halt school integration by\n erecting a series of defensive obstacles. Realizing the\n movement was doomed and if continued would potentially destroy\n the Commonwealth's educational system, in January 1959 Almond\n admitted defeat and established a commission to develop a plan\n for the integration of Virginia's public schools. Almond's\n reversal on this issue cost him the support of the Harry F.\n Byrd and his many supporters.","Following Almond's term as governor, he was appointed by\n President John F. Kennedy as an interim judge of the U.S.\n Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, Washington, D.C. With\n U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd on the Senate Judicial Committee,\n it took much campaigning on the part of Almond's friends and\n supporters to secure his official appointment to this post in\n 1963. He served as a member of this court until his retirement\n in 1986.","J. Lindsay Almond married Josephine Katherine Minter\n (1901-1992) in 1925. A native of Roanoke, Va., Mrs. Almond\n attended Elizabeth College in Salem, Va., and received her\n bachelor's degree in 1923 from Wittenberg University in Ohio.\n The Almond's had no children, but raised Mrs. Almond's orphan\n nephew, Lewis S. Minter, from infancy. Mr. Almond died April\n 14, 1986, and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Roanoke,\n Va.","Series 1 contains the non-official correspondence of J.\n Lindsay Almond, Jr., 1925-1983, chiefly as governor and while\n he was seeking a federal judgeship. Subjects mentioned include\n concerns of constituents; recommendations of persons for\n appointments by various state and local officials; the attempt\n on Almond's life in April 1959; Almond's stand on school\n desegregation (see the correspondence of Alburtis S. Harrison,\n Jr., Charles L. Lady, and Sydney F. Small); and the efforts of\n Almond's supporters to get him a position on the U.S. Court of\n Patent Appeals (see the correspondence of George Edward Allen\n (1885-1972), Miner Carl Andrews, Lester R. Bachner, Harry\n Flood Byrd (1887-1966), James O. Eastland, Charles Rogers\n Fenwick, Eppa Hunton IV, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert\n Francis Kennedy, Marvin E. Nuckols, Jr., and A. Willis\n Robertson). This appointment was blocked for almost a year by\n U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, a member of the Senate Judicial\n Committee, who had broken with Almond over the latter's\n apparent reversal of his support of school desegregation and\n the policy of \"massive resistance.\" Also included is scattered\n family correspondence, chiefly concerning the health of\n Almond's mother, Edmonia Nicholas (Burgess) Almond (d.\n 1966).","Series 2 contains speeches given on various occasions.\n Subseries 2.1, Speeches by J. Lindsay Almond, are arranged\n chronologically. See 1958-1960 for the bulk of speeches\n concerning school desegregation. Subseries 2.2, Speeches by\n Others, is arranged alphabetically by author.","Series 3 includes scattered financial and legal records,\n 1948-1978, of J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., consisting of records of\n sale and purchase of residential real estate in Roanoke and\n Richmond, Va., loose accounts and papers including forms\n relating to his employment as a federal judge, canceled\n checks, an account book for his expenses relating to the last\n illness and death of his mother, Edmonia Nicholas (Burgess)\n Almond (d. 1966) of Locust Grove, Va., and miscellaneous items\n including an affidavit concerning the Virginia Senatorial\n campaign of 1946 and its connection with the C.I.O. Political\n Action Committee and a list of firearms owned by Mr.\n Almond.","Series 4 includes scrapbooks, 1934-1963, containing chiefly\n newspaper clippings from Richmond and Roanoke, Va., newspapers\n documenting the various careers of J. Lindsay Almond, Jr. The\n volumes are arranged in four subseries as follows: Subseries\n 4.1 documents Almond's career as a judge of the Roanoke City\n Hustings Court and as a member of the U.S. House of\n Representatives. Series 4.2 documents Almond's return to\n Virginia to serve as Attorney General. Subseries 4.3 documents\n Almond's campaign for, election as, and service as governor of\n Virginia. Prominently mentioned is his fight against\n court-ordered desegregation of public schools. Subseries 4.4\n in many ways overlaps previous subseries but also includes a\n scrapbook concerning the Roanoke Racing Homer Club, Roanoke,\n Va., of which Almond was a member, and a 1963 barbecue given\n in Almond's honor.","Series 5 consists of newspaper clippings, 1931-1987,\n arranged chronologically, chiefly from Roanoke and Richmond,\n Va., papers. Subjects include Almond's service as Attorney\n General of Virginia, campaign for and election as Governor of\n Virginia, the \"massive resistance\" movement, and the Almonds'\n life after leaving office.

His\n land records in this collection, covering the period\n 1759-1800, trace the title to a number of tracts in the county\n obtained from various parties. Joseph's son David Lupton\n (1757-1822) established the Quaker or Apple Pie Ridge branch\n of the family in Frederick County. He was a prominent farmer,\n millwright and Quaker leader.

His land records (Box 2) trace title to\n tracts in Frederick and Hampshire counties and lots in\n Winchester, Va., and consist of deeds, plats, grants, etc. The\n Hampshire County (now W.

His papers contain\n a number of original marriage certificates, 1787-1833, signed\n by bridge and groom and witnessed by family members, guests,\n and members of the meeting. Included is a certificate for the\n marriage of David Lupton (1786-1814) and Ann McPherson at\n Hopewell in 1809.","David Lupton collected materials, 1758-1815, concerning the\n estate of Isaac Hollingsworth, father of Lupton's first wife,\n Mary (1758-1814).

His correspondence\n (Box 4), 1815-1843, is especially heavy for the years\n 1842-1843 and centers on the sale of flour, wheat and pig\n iron. There is much correspondence with Baltimore merchants\n and with George Franklin Hupp, proprietor of Columbia Furnace\n in Shenandoah County, and Joseph S. Machir, a Strasburg\n merchant. Nathan Lupton's account book, 1828, concerns farm\n labor, construction costs and the estates of David Lupton\n (1757-1822), Joseph Lupton (1781-1825) and Isaac Lupton. His\n accounts, 1829-1835, 1842-1843, detail a mixture of personal\n and business concerns.","As a merchant, Lupton kept receipts for the sale and\n shipment of wheat and flour and store orders for merchandise,\n 1842-1843. Receipts, 1842-1843, for the transportation of pig\n and bloom iron from Columbia Furnace by R. W. Ashton for\n George Franklin Hupp are largely directed to John Mason of\n Georgetown, D.C. Miscellany includes a trusteeship for John\n McPherson and Son of Alexandria in 1818. Estate materials\n consist of an inventory, appraisals, receipts and bonds.","Nathan's brother Jonal H. Lupton (7195-1870) was a\n Frederick County farmer and horse-breeder.

Jonah\n Lupton's bonds include a number executed by Phineas Janney as\n president of the Bank of the Potomac in Alexandria, D.C. (now\n Va.), 1843-1846.","A number of items relate to the family of Martha Ann\n Sidwell, Jonah Lupton's first wife.

Lupton's\n Civil Ware materials include a copy of a petition, 1863, of\n the loyal citizens of Winchester and Frederick County to\n Abraham Lincoln in behalf of General Robert Huston Milroy\n (signed by Jonah and Joel Lupton and 63 others); an account of\n property taken in 1861; passes; a certificate of loyalty,\n permit, order and requisition. Lupton's miscellany includes\n Society of Friends materials, 1829-1869, and two items of his\n second wife, Lydia (Walker) Lupton.","Joel Lupton (1804-1883) also lived along Apple Pie Ridge,\n where he pursued a busy career as farmer, millwright and\n manufacturer. Lupton received letters, 1823-1878, from a\n number of different inventors and agents who were seeking to\n sell and distribute their versions of early threshing\n machines. Among these were Dr. Chester Clark of Philadelphia\n and Hazard Knowles of Washington, D.C. Lupton also took great\n interest in sawmill operation, as well as entering a business\n partnership with Henry Lowe of Baltimore in the paper\n manufacturing firm of Lavender, Lowe and Lupton.","The account book, 1846-1866, of Joel Lupton concerns timber\n harvesting and sawmill operation with his brother Lewis. They\n had contracted to supply the Winchester and Potomac Railroad\n Company with their lumber needs. The book also bears accounts\n with Ridge Meeting of the Society of Friends in Frederick\n County (final page) and accounts of an unidentified Winchester\n merchant, 1815-1832 (the volume is filed oversize following\n Box 6).","His accounts, 1823-1883, heaviest in the 1830s-1840s,\n indicate Joel Lupton invested significantly in the Winchester\n and Potomac Railroad, like his brothers. Agricultural records\n consist of railroad receipts for the shipment of hay, flour\n inspection certificates, receipts for the sale of wheat, and\n rates and regulations on the Winchester and Potmac Railroad.\n Agreements and deeds concerning land in Frederick and\n Hampshire counties, 1829-1847, largely concern mills.","A number of items chronicle Joel Lupton's dealings with\n inventors or their agents (Box 7).

Lupton (1846-1918), a son of Jonah H. Lupton,\n lived at \"Springdale\" in Frederick County. Letters, 1888-1895,\n written to this farmer are mostly from kinsmen. A student\n notebook, 1869, concerns the principles of surveying. Lupton\n and his younger sister, Rebecca Jane (Lupton) Broomell\n (1848-1924), belonged to a local literary club known as \"The\n Sociable.\" Some records of this group that survive here are\n minutes (kept by their cousin Maria C.

Represented in the collection\n are James Faulkner (1776-1817), of Martinsburg, Va. (now W.\n Va.), merchant; lawyer Elisha Boyd (1796-1841), a friend of\n James Faulkner; lawyer Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884), who\n served in both houses of the Virginia legislature and in the\n U.S. House of Representatives for both Virginia and West\n Virginia; and Charles James Faulkner, Jr. (1847-1929) of\n \"Boydville,\" Berkeley County, lawyer and West Virginia circuit\n judge, and U.S. Senator, 1887-1899.","The Faulkner family papers cover three generations of one\n of the most influential families in Berkeley County, West\n Virginia. Merchants and lawyers in Martinsburg, the Faulkners\n have traditionally taken an active part in the social,\n economic, political and judicial affairs of their county, the\n state of Virginia, and West Virginia, and the nation.","James Faulkner (1776-1817), an Irish immigrant, settled in\n Martinsburg and in 1796 formed a partnership with merchant\n Michael McKewan as James Faulkner \u0026 Co. The company\n dissolved after two years, but James Faulkner continued to\n trade under his own name. His personal and business\n correspondence and financial records are mixed, however\n separate folders cover both James Faulkner \u0026 Co. and James\n Faulkner's later mercantile activities. Among James Faulkner's\n correspondents are Mathew Carey, Dr. Richard McSherry of\n Martinsburg, Virginia congressman James Stephenson, and Mason\n Locke Weems; a letterbook, 1799-1800, kept by James Faulkner\n also contains mercantile accounts, 1806-1807. The mercantile\n folders include not only licences, legal notices and store\n orders, but also records, 1795-1796, of John Tabb \u0026 Co. of\n Martinsburg and materials concerning the same of lottery\n tickets (especially for the Vaccine Institution Lottery in\n Baltimore, Md.).","For many years James Faulkner served as an officer in the\n Virginia Militia. By the opening of the War of 1812, he had\n risen to the rank of major and commanded the Virginia\n artillery at Fort Barbour in Norfolk and at the Battle of\n Craney Island. His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F. Faulkner\" (see\n James Faulkner's accounts, especially 1815, inventory of\n estate, and the will of William Mackey), but changed his name\n sometime before 1825. He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester. He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection.

He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Among Charles James Faulkner's other papers (for a full\n list see guide) are records kept by John Weller, a fellow\n attorney who acted as Charles James Faulkner's agent during\n the latter's mission to France (see below). The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J. W. Garrett,\n Louis McLane and Thomas Swann); Bank of the Valley in Virginia\n (see also correspondence with Henry M. Brent, Hamilton G. Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78). Miscellany includes papers concerning\n a former servant at \"Boydville,\" Mary McGuire; letters\n concerning Charles James Faulkner's visit to Great Britain in\n 1846; schools and education (including addresses); news\n clippings; freemason materials; and estate records.","Charles James Faulkner's wife, Mary Wagner (Boyd) Faulkner\n (d. 1894) lived at \"Boydville\" most of her life. Her papers\n include correspondence; an account book and loose accounts; a\n commonplace book kept in France, 1860; records concerning a\n claim against the U.S. government for damages at \"Boydville,\"\n 1863-1865; and personal miscellany (Box 81).","Elisha Boyd Faulkner (b. 1841) lawyer, W. Va. legislator\n and judge, was the Faulkner's eldest son. He practiced law in\n Hopkinsville, Ky., after the Civil War, but returned to\n Martinsville in the 1870s to practice in partnership with his\n younger brother. Box 82 contains his correspondence, a few\n case files, and personal miscellany.","Charles James Faulkner (1847-1929) inherited \"Boydville\"\n from his mother. He practiced law, served as a West Virginia\n circuit judge, and entered the U.S. Senate in 1887. His\n records as a senator (arranged chronologically) include\n letters from constituents, petitioners, fellow Democrats and\n senators concerning congressional activities and Democratic\n politics; speeches and printed items; and news clippings\n (Boxes 87-88).","Several small folders of papers concern Charles James\n Faulkner's first wife, Sallie Winn (d.1891) of\n Charlottesville, Va., her mother Mary Jane (Garrett) Winn\n (1818-1869), and her brother John Winn (b. 1838?). Mrs.\n Faulkner's sister, Elizabeth Garrett Winn (b. 1840?) lived in\n Martinsburg for many years. She was a popular belle in\n Charlottesville in the immediate postwar years, and later\n became a teacher in West Virginia. Her papers include\n correspondence, accounts, a commonplace book, ca.1867, records\n of her teaching career, 1873-1880, at the Martinsburg Grammar\n School, and personal miscellany (Boxes 90-93). Another sister,\n Ellen Watson Winn (1842?-1893) cared for the children at\n \"Boydville\" after Mrs. Faulkner's death. Papers of the second\n Mrs. Faulkner, Virginia Fairfax Whiting (1867-1938), are\n entirely financial in nature (Box 93).","Box 94 contains a few items each for Charles James\n Faulkner's sisters and their husbands, and his children.\n Miscellaneous Berkeley and Jefferson county records and some\n unclassified miscellany round out the collection.","Lastly, volumes transferred to this collection in April\n 1986, including account books for James Faulkner (1779-1817),\n Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), Andrew Waggener, Charles James\n Faulkner (1806-1884), Lauck \u0026 Stephen, Martinsburg, Va.\n (now W.

His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F. Faulkner\" (see\n James Faulkner's accounts, especially 1815, inventory of\n estate, and the will of William Mackey), but changed his name\n sometime before 1825. He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J.

Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78).

Represented in the collection\n are James Faulkner (1776-1817), of Martinsburg, Va. (now W.\n Va.), merchant; lawyer Elisha Boyd (1796-1841), a friend of\n James Faulkner; lawyer Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884), who\n served in both houses of the Virginia legislature and in the\n U.S. House of Representatives for both Virginia and West\n Virginia; and Charles James Faulkner, Jr. (1847-1929) of\n \"Boydville,\" Berkeley County, lawyer and West Virginia circuit\n judge, and U.S. Senator, 1887-1899.","The Faulkner family papers cover three generations of one\n of the most influential families in Berkeley County, West\n Virginia. Merchants and lawyers in Martinsburg, the Faulkners\n have traditionally taken an active part in the social,\n economic, political and judicial affairs of their county, the\n state of Virginia, and West Virginia, and the nation.","James Faulkner (1776-1817), an Irish immigrant, settled in\n Martinsburg and in 1796 formed a partnership with merchant\n Michael McKewan as James Faulkner \u0026 Co. The company\n dissolved after two years, but James Faulkner continued to\n trade under his own name. His personal and business\n correspondence and financial records are mixed, however\n separate folders cover both James Faulkner \u0026 Co. and James\n Faulkner's later mercantile activities. Among James Faulkner's\n correspondents are Mathew Carey, Dr. Richard McSherry of\n Martinsburg, Virginia congressman James Stephenson, and Mason\n Locke Weems; a letterbook, 1799-1800, kept by James Faulkner\n also contains mercantile accounts, 1806-1807. The mercantile\n folders include not only licences, legal notices and store\n orders, but also records, 1795-1796, of John Tabb \u0026 Co. of\n Martinsburg and materials concerning the same of lottery\n tickets (especially for the Vaccine Institution Lottery in\n Baltimore, Md.).","For many years James Faulkner served as an officer in the\n Virginia Militia. By the opening of the War of 1812, he had\n risen to the rank of major and commanded the Virginia\n artillery at Fort Barbour in Norfolk and at the Battle of\n Craney Island. His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F. Faulkner\" (see\n James Faulkner's accounts, especially 1815, inventory of\n estate, and the will of William Mackey), but changed his name\n sometime before 1825. He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester. He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J. W. Garrett,\n Louis McLane and Thomas Swann); Bank of the Valley in Virginia\n (see also correspondence with Henry M. Brent, Hamilton G. Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78). Miscellany includes papers concerning\n a former servant at \"Boydville,\" Mary McGuire; letters\n concerning Charles James Faulkner's visit to Great Britain in\n 1846; schools and education (including addresses); news\n clippings; freemason materials; and estate records.","Charles James Faulkner's wife, Mary Wagner (Boyd) Faulkner\n (d. 1894) lived at \"Boydville\" most of her life. Her papers\n include correspondence; an account book and loose accounts; a\n commonplace book kept in France, 1860; records concerning a\n claim against the U.S. government for damages at \"Boydville,\"\n 1863-1865; and personal miscellany (Box 81).","Elisha Boyd Faulkner (b. 1841) lawyer, W. Va. legislator\n and judge, was the Faulkner's eldest son. He practiced law in\n Hopkinsville, Ky., after the Civil War, but returned to\n Martinsville in the 1870s to practice in partnership with his\n younger brother. Box 82 contains his correspondence, a few\n case files, and personal miscellany.","Charles James Faulkner (1847-1929) inherited \"Boydville\"\n from his mother. He practiced law, served as a West Virginia\n circuit judge, and entered the U.S. Senate in 1887. His\n records as a senator (arranged chronologically) include\n letters from constituents, petitioners, fellow Democrats and\n senators concerning congressional activities and Democratic\n politics; speeches and printed items; and news clippings\n (Boxes 87-88).","Several small folders of papers concern Charles James\n Faulkner's first wife, Sallie Winn (d.1891) of\n Charlottesville, Va., her mother Mary Jane (Garrett) Winn\n (1818-1869), and her brother John Winn (b. 1838?). Mrs.\n Faulkner's sister, Elizabeth Garrett Winn (b. 1840?) lived in\n Martinsburg for many years. She was a popular belle in\n Charlottesville in the immediate postwar years, and later\n became a teacher in West Virginia. Her papers include\n correspondence, accounts, a commonplace book, ca.1867, records\n of her teaching career, 1873-1880, at the Martinsburg Grammar\n School, and personal miscellany (Boxes 90-93). Another sister,\n Ellen Watson Winn (1842?-1893) cared for the children at\n \"Boydville\" after Mrs. Faulkner's death. Papers of the second\n Mrs. Faulkner, Virginia Fairfax Whiting (1867-1938), are\n entirely financial in nature (Box 93).","Box 94 contains a few items each for Charles James\n Faulkner's sisters and their husbands, and his children.\n Miscellaneous Berkeley and Jefferson county records and some\n unclassified miscellany round out the collection.","Lastly, volumes transferred to this collection in April\n 1986, including account books for James Faulkner (1779-1817),\n Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), Andrew Waggener, Charles James\n Faulkner (1806-1884), Lauck \u0026 Stephen, Martinsburg, Va.\n (now W.

His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F.

He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J.

Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78).

Represented in the collection\n are James Faulkner (1776-1817), of Martinsburg, Va. (now W.\n Va.), merchant; lawyer Elisha Boyd (1796-1841), a friend of\n James Faulkner; lawyer Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884), who\n served in both houses of the Virginia legislature and in the\n U.S. House of Representatives for both Virginia and West\n Virginia; and Charles James Faulkner, Jr. (1847-1929) of\n \"Boydville,\" Berkeley County, lawyer and West Virginia circuit\n judge, and U.S. Senator, 1887-1899.","The Faulkner family papers cover three generations of one\n of the most influential families in Berkeley County, West\n Virginia. Merchants and lawyers in Martinsburg, the Faulkners\n have traditionally taken an active part in the social,\n economic, political and judicial affairs of their county, the\n state of Virginia, and West Virginia, and the nation.","James Faulkner (1776-1817), an Irish immigrant, settled in\n Martinsburg and in 1796 formed a partnership with merchant\n Michael McKewan as James Faulkner \u0026 Co. The company\n dissolved after two years, but James Faulkner continued to\n trade under his own name. His personal and business\n correspondence and financial records are mixed, however\n separate folders cover both James Faulkner \u0026 Co. and James\n Faulkner's later mercantile activities. Among James Faulkner's\n correspondents are Mathew Carey, Dr. Richard McSherry of\n Martinsburg, Virginia congressman James Stephenson, and Mason\n Locke Weems; a letterbook, 1799-1800, kept by James Faulkner\n also contains mercantile accounts, 1806-1807. The mercantile\n folders include not only licences, legal notices and store\n orders, but also records, 1795-1796, of John Tabb \u0026 Co. of\n Martinsburg and materials concerning the same of lottery\n tickets (especially for the Vaccine Institution Lottery in\n Baltimore, Md.).","For many years James Faulkner served as an officer in the\n Virginia Militia. By the opening of the War of 1812, he had\n risen to the rank of major and commanded the Virginia\n artillery at Fort Barbour in Norfolk and at the Battle of\n Craney Island. His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F. Faulkner\" (see\n James Faulkner's accounts, especially 1815, inventory of\n estate, and the will of William Mackey), but changed his name\n sometime before 1825. He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester. He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection.

He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Among Charles James Faulkner's other papers (for a full\n list see guide) are records kept by John Weller, a fellow\n attorney who acted as Charles James Faulkner's agent during\n the latter's mission to France (see below). The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J. W. Garrett,\n Louis McLane and Thomas Swann); Bank of the Valley in Virginia\n (see also correspondence with Henry M. Brent, Hamilton G. Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78). Miscellany includes papers concerning\n a former servant at \"Boydville,\" Mary McGuire; letters\n concerning Charles James Faulkner's visit to Great Britain in\n 1846; schools and education (including addresses); news\n clippings; freemason materials; and estate records.","Charles James Faulkner's wife, Mary Wagner (Boyd) Faulkner\n (d. 1894) lived at \"Boydville\" most of her life. Her papers\n include correspondence; an account book and loose accounts; a\n commonplace book kept in France, 1860; records concerning a\n claim against the U.S. government for damages at \"Boydville,\"\n 1863-1865; and personal miscellany (Box 81).","Elisha Boyd Faulkner (b. 1841) lawyer, W. Va. legislator\n and judge, was the Faulkner's eldest son. He practiced law in\n Hopkinsville, Ky., after the Civil War, but returned to\n Martinsville in the 1870s to practice in partnership with his\n younger brother. Box 82 contains his correspondence, a few\n case files, and personal miscellany.","Charles James Faulkner (1847-1929) inherited \"Boydville\"\n from his mother. He practiced law, served as a West Virginia\n circuit judge, and entered the U.S. Senate in 1887. His\n records as a senator (arranged chronologically) include\n letters from constituents, petitioners, fellow Democrats and\n senators concerning congressional activities and Democratic\n politics; speeches and printed items; and news clippings\n (Boxes 87-88).","Several small folders of papers concern Charles James\n Faulkner's first wife, Sallie Winn (d.1891) of\n Charlottesville, Va., her mother Mary Jane (Garrett) Winn\n (1818-1869), and her brother John Winn (b. 1838?). Mrs.\n Faulkner's sister, Elizabeth Garrett Winn (b. 1840?) lived in\n Martinsburg for many years. She was a popular belle in\n Charlottesville in the immediate postwar years, and later\n became a teacher in West Virginia. Her papers include\n correspondence, accounts, a commonplace book, ca.1867, records\n of her teaching career, 1873-1880, at the Martinsburg Grammar\n School, and personal miscellany (Boxes 90-93). Another sister,\n Ellen Watson Winn (1842?-1893) cared for the children at\n \"Boydville\" after Mrs. Faulkner's death. Papers of the second\n Mrs. Faulkner, Virginia Fairfax Whiting (1867-1938), are\n entirely financial in nature (Box 93).","Box 94 contains a few items each for Charles James\n Faulkner's sisters and their husbands, and his children.\n Miscellaneous Berkeley and Jefferson county records and some\n unclassified miscellany round out the collection.","Lastly, volumes transferred to this collection in April\n 1986, including account books for James Faulkner (1779-1817),\n Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), Andrew Waggener, Charles James\n Faulkner (1806-1884), Lauck \u0026 Stephen, Martinsburg, Va.\n (now W.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War).

A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78).

While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner.

He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision.

Merchants and lawyers in Martinsburg, the Faulkners\n have traditionally taken an active part in the social,\n economic, political and judicial affairs of their county, the\n state of Virginia, and West Virginia, and the nation.","James Faulkner (1776-1817), an Irish immigrant, settled in\n Martinsburg and in 1796 formed a partnership with merchant\n Michael McKewan as James Faulkner \u0026 Co.

His personal and business\n correspondence and financial records are mixed, however\n separate folders cover both James Faulkner \u0026 Co. and James\n Faulkner's later mercantile activities. Among James Faulkner's\n correspondents are Mathew Carey, Dr. Richard McSherry of\n Martinsburg, Virginia congressman James Stephenson, and Mason\n Locke Weems; a letterbook, 1799-1800, kept by James Faulkner\n also contains mercantile accounts, 1806-1807. The mercantile\n folders include not only licences, legal notices and store\n orders, but also records, 1795-1796, of John Tabb \u0026 Co. of\n Martinsburg and materials concerning the same of lottery\n tickets (especially for the Vaccine Institution Lottery in\n Baltimore, Md.).","For many years James Faulkner served as an officer in the\n Virginia Militia. By the opening of the War of 1812, he had\n risen to the rank of major and commanded the Virginia\n artillery at Fort Barbour in Norfolk and at the Battle of\n Craney Island. His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany.

He attended Georgetown College and then\n read law at the prestigious school of Henry St. George Tucker\n at Winchester. He began to practice in Martinsburg about 1827.\n He entered politics shortly thereafter and remained active\n throughout the rest of his life, as the following paragraphs\n will indicate.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J. W. Garrett,\n Louis McLane and Thomas Swann); Bank of the Valley in Virginia\n (see also correspondence with Henry M. Brent, Hamilton G. Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78).

Her papers include\n correspondence, accounts, a commonplace book, ca.1867, records\n of her teaching career, 1873-1880, at the Martinsburg Grammar\n School, and personal miscellany (Boxes 90-93). Another sister,\n Ellen Watson Winn (1842?-1893) cared for the children at\n \"Boydville\" after Mrs. Faulkner's death.

Merchants and lawyers in Martinsburg, the Faulkners\n have traditionally taken an active part in the social,\n economic, political and judicial affairs of their county, the\n state of Virginia, and West Virginia, and the nation.","James Faulkner (1776-1817), an Irish immigrant, settled in\n Martinsburg and in 1796 formed a partnership with merchant\n Michael McKewan as James Faulkner \u0026 Co. The company\n dissolved after two years, but James Faulkner continued to\n trade under his own name. His personal and business\n correspondence and financial records are mixed, however\n separate folders cover both James Faulkner \u0026 Co. and James\n Faulkner's later mercantile activities. Among James Faulkner's\n correspondents are Mathew Carey, Dr. Richard McSherry of\n Martinsburg, Virginia congressman James Stephenson, and Mason\n Locke Weems; a letterbook, 1799-1800, kept by James Faulkner\n also contains mercantile accounts, 1806-1807. The mercantile\n folders include not only licences, legal notices and store\n orders, but also records, 1795-1796, of John Tabb \u0026 Co. of\n Martinsburg and materials concerning the same of lottery\n tickets (especially for the Vaccine Institution Lottery in\n Baltimore, Md.).","For many years James Faulkner served as an officer in the\n Virginia Militia. By the opening of the War of 1812, he had\n risen to the rank of major and commanded the Virginia\n artillery at Fort Barbour in Norfolk and at the Battle of\n Craney Island. His military records include early commissions,\n materials concerning the Martinsburg Independent Blues, 3rd\n Artillery Regiment, and must rolls and returns, an orderly\n book, letters and other items concerning James Faulkner's\n service in the War of 1812 (Box 9).","Also found among James Faulkner's papers are land records\n concerning Martinsburg and Berkeley County; an account book,\n 1811-1820, kept in part by James Faulkner as president of the\n Berkeley County Overseers of the Poor; an account and will of\n James Faulkner's father-in-law William Mackey; and estate\n materials, including an inventory, loose accounts, and records\n concerning a monument to James Faulkner in Martinsburg.","Elisha Boyd (1769-1841), a contemporary and friend of James\n Faulkner, and eventually father-in-law to James Faulkner's\n son, Charles James Faulkner, was a prominent lawyer of\n Martinsburg, involved in politics and local economic\n development. His papers include correspondence, notably with\n Richmond lawyer John Wickham, and with Charles James Faulkner\n while both served in the Virginia legislature; land records in\n Berkeley County and Martinsburg; and legal materials from\n Elisha Boyd's law practice in the Berkeley County Court and\n the Virginia Superior Count of Chancery at Winchester. Also,\n Elisha Boyd's papers contain records of Andrew Waggener,\n father of Elisha Boyd's first wife, including records,\n 1795-1800, of the mercantile firm of Waggener \u0026 Warner in\n Berkeley County; records concerning Elisha Boyd's service as\n commander of the 4th Regiment and 10th Brigade of Virginia\n Militia; estate materials including a will, deed, notes, etc.;\n and miscellany. There are also a few items for Elisha Boyd's\n third wife, Elizabeth Hill (Byrd) Boyd, and his son, Rev.\n Andrew Hunter Holmes Boyd.","Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884) is certainly the key\n figure in this collection. There is some internal evidence\n that Charles James Faulkner was born \"James F.

The records\n primarily concern the maintenance of the \"Boydville\" estate in\n Martinsburg, built by Elisha Boyd and inherited by Charles\n James Faulkner's wife. Boxes 45-46 contain additional records\n concerning \"Boydville,\" particularly the acquisition of\n adjoining lands and contracts with laborers and tenants; and\n records of Charles James Faulkner's purchases and sales of\n land in Frederick County, Va. (the \"Glengary\" farm obtained\n from John Rogers Cooke in partnership with Philip Clayton\n Pendleton), Berkeley County, and Martinsburg.","Charles James Faulkner's law practice comprises the largest\n portion of his papers. Box 47 contains notes kept as a student\n at the Winchester Law School, 1825-1826, and general\n miscellany of his practice such as licences, accounts, notes\n on law, etc. The papers involving actual litigation or other\n services for clients are divided into several groups: by\n court, into case files (records of four or more items,\n including writs, summonses, proceedings, bills, notes, etc.,\n relating to specific cases) and suit papers (three or less\n items per lawsuit basically arranged chronologically); by\n client (records of legal services provided over time not\n necessarily involving litigation); And by estate (including\n estate settlements in which Charles James Faulkner served as\n court-appointed administrator and settlements involving\n pension claims for service in the Revolutionary War). Box 65\n contains records kept by Charles James Faulkner and Edmund\n Pendleton as trustees for the Martinsburg mercantile firm of\n Lauck \u0026 Stephen. Charles James Faulkner practiced chiefly\n in the Berkeley County Court, Circuit Superior Court, and\n Circuit Court; the Jefferson County Circuit Court; Morgan\n County Circuit Court; and West Virginia Supreme Court of\n Appeals. One interesting folder (Box 59) concerns Charles\n James Faulkner's appearance as counsel for W. Va. in the U.S.\n Supreme Court in an action by Virginia to recover the counties\n of Berkeley and Jefferson in 1870.","Among the more important clients for whom Charles James\n Faulkner maintained files were the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio\n Railroad Company (see also correspondence with J. W. Garrett,\n Louis McLane and Thomas Swann); Bank of the Valley in Virginia\n (see also correspondence with Henry M. Brent, Hamilton G. Fant\n and Charles Webb); and the Hagerstown Bank, Hagerstown, Md. A\n complete list of case files, client files, and estate\n settlements is filed in Box 47.","Charles James Faulkner entered politics early in his\n career. The folders covering his first service in the Virginia\n House of Delegates and State Senate include campaign\n materials, speeches, resolutions and printed documents. While\n serving in the House, Charles James Faulkner was appointed\n commissioner to settle Virginia's boundary with Maryland. His\n records of that mission include documents signed by William\n Byrd II and reports Charles James Faulkner issued as\n commissioner. His Whig party activities were wide ranging; his\n papers contain materials from the 1840 and 1844 Whig\n presidential campaigns in Virginia, an unsuccessful campaign\n for Congress in 1843, and various political speeches (Box\n 69).","Charles James Faulkner entered Congress in 1851. His\n congressional files contain campaign materials, election\n certificates, records as chairman of the House Committee on\n Military Affairs (he took particular interest in the armories\n at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and in\n bolstering the U.S. Army), printed items and news clippings,\n and a large file of miscellany (Box 70). While serving in\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner switched to the Democratic\n party. He accepted the post of chairman of the National\n Democratic Resident Committee in Washington, D.C., which was\n charged with organizing \"grassroots\" support in the summer of\n 1856 for the election of James Buchanan as president (Boxes\n 71-72). The materials, arranged chronologically, include\n circulars, committee correspondence and financial\n accounts.","A grateful President Buchanan appointed Charles James\n Faulkner Envoy Extraordinary to France in 1860 upon the death\n of fellow Virginian John Young Mason. The records kept as\n minister to France include correspondence (primarily letters\n of introduction and American claims against French citizens,\n but with some official dispatches), credentials, invitations,\n biographical sketches of Charles James Faulkner (in French)\n and news clippings (Box 73). Charles James Faulkner served a\n full year, returned to Washington, and was arrested for\n several months in 1861, in effect as a political prisoner held\n for the exchange of a prominent northern congressman.","After his release, Charles James Faulkner remained\n primarily in Virginia and served for a time on the staff of\n Confederate General Thomas J. (\"Stonewall\") Jackson. A lengthy\n broadside in the collection served to explain Charles James\n Faulkner's activities in those years, but brought forth howls\n of protest from former Confederates and pro-Union West\n Virginians alike (Box 73).","With the close of the war, Charles James Faulkner struggled\n to regain a position of standing in West Virginia politics. He\n served in the 1872 Constitutional Convention as chairman of\n the committees on the judiciary and on revision. Boxes 74-75\n contain speeches, documents, resolutions, judiciary plans\n (printed) and news clippings.","Charles James Faulkner returned to Congress in 1875. His\n records contain election materials, materials concerning his\n service on a three-man Committee to Investigate the Affairs of\n the Red Cloud Indian Agency (July-November 1875), papers kept\n as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Relations,\n petitions and applications, constituent requests, lists of\n voters, clippings and miscellany. After his retirement from\n Congress, Charles James Faulkner unsuccessfully ran for the\n U.S. Senate and the office of governor of West Virginia (Boxes\n 76-77).","The few remaining boxes cover Charles James Faulkner's\n personal life and economic activities. He served as president\n and chief counsel of the Martinsburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad\n Co., president of the Berkeley County Agricultural \u0026\n Mechanical Association, president of the West Virginia\n Historical Society, and regent of the West Virginia University\n at Morgantown (Box 78).
