William Graham papers

0.01 Linear Feet 1 folder

This collection includes items related to William Graham, an early rector of Washington and Lee University, then named Liberty Hall Academy. Included are two drafts of Graham's epitaph. The drafts do not match the epitaph that appears on Graham's current grave on the campus of Washington and Lee University. It could have been for his original grave in Richmond, Va., but no evidence has been found to prove that. There is a note dated April 10, 1782 to Colonel Bowyer from Graham stating he could not make it to town but submits what appears to be requested information in writing which is a list of tithables including the names of four enslaved individuals: Davie, Hill, Ester, and Tabby. There is a "Memorandum or State of Reaffirming [?] in Distress," written by Graham on February 6, 1792, religous writing, and a shared grouping of papers stitched together at the spring with instructions for transmuting brass and copper written going in one direction and documenting an arbitration between "Zech" [Zachariah?] Johnston and John Maupin written going in another. Lastly, the collection includes the appraisal conducted on Graham's personal library after his death dated September 15, 1800.

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.
