Abstract Or Scope
John Lafayette Everly (b. 1837) was a farmer and surveyor in Preston County, West Virginia, and served in the 7th West Virginia Infantry during the Civil War. Two typescript copies of "A Short History of the Everly Family" document John L. Everly's family from the late 18th century to the early 20th century, with an emphasis on Everly's Civil War service and his children. (Although Kenneth Fowler's name is recorded to one of the typescripts, it is unclear who actually authored it.)

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
