 Scope and Content Information

Papers, primarily 1770-1848, accumulated by members of the Baylor family of New Market, Caroline County, Va., especially Frances Walker Baylor (d. 1783), her son, John Baylor, Jr. (1750-1808), who studied in England ca. 1770-1772, her grandson, Dr. George D. Baylor (1789-1848), and her great grandson, Dr. Warner Lewis Baylor (1825-1894). The loose papers are mainly family letters, legal records, genealogical information, and poems. Manuscript books include a nineteenth-century cookbook, Dr. George D. Baylor's ledger of medical accounts, 1842-1847, and genealogical information on the Lewis and related families. Three printed books have been transferred to the library. The collection is complemented by various photostats, including Col.
