He married Alice Beard and had eleven children including; Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), and Daniel Brown (1770-1818).","Henry Brown (2) (1760-1841), later commissioned as a Captain, was wounded in the Revolutionary War. After the war he opened a store in New London, Bedford (later Campbell) County with his brother, Daniel. He had a full and interesting life in mercantile pursuits, being involved in several ventures with other partners, and spending a good deal of his time in court collecting debts. He acted as Federal Tax Collector in Bedford County, 1800-1803, a deputy inspector of revenue and served several terms as a Sheriff. He was also a treasurer of the New London Academy Meeting House and the New London Agricultural Society. New London is in present day Campbell County, Virginia. His business and personal papers present a picture of the successful business man of that day. No letters written by Captain Henry Brown are in this collection, though many references to letters he had written are to be found. Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), married Frances Thompson (1775-1822). Their children included Henry Brown, Jr. (1797-1836), who married Eleanor Tucker; Samuel T. Brown, who married Lissie Huger; Locky [Lockie] T. Brown(b. 1827), who married Alexander Irvine; Frances Brown, who married Edwin Robinson; Alice Brown, who married William M. Worthington; and John Thompson Brown (1802-1836), who married Mary E. Willcox.","Many papers of Henry Brown, Jr. (3) (1797-1836), are included in this collection, but his personality makes little impression on the reader. Toward the end of his short life he served in his father's store in Lynchburg, later opening a store of his own. Henry Brown Jr. married Eleanor Tucker. He died of an illness that had plagued him from his early years.","John Thompson Brown (3) (1802-1836) was born near Bedford County, Virginia. He was a graduate of Princeton who later read law under Judge Creed Taylor. John became a member of the House of Delegates from Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia (later West Virginia), at the age of 26. Following his marriage in 1830 to Mary E. Willcox, daughter of a leading citizen of Petersburg, he was elected to the House of Delegates. His speeches to the House of Delegates on slavery, states rights, and politics in the Jackson and post-Jackson period exist in pamphlet form and are valuable for their insight into the position taken by Virginians in this period. He also served as member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention from 1829-1830. At the age of 29 he was mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senator (appointed by the State legislature at the time), and undoubtedly would have been an important figure in national politics if he had not suffered an untimely death at the age of 34. He and Mary Willcox had three children; Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), John Willcox Brown (b. 1833), and Col. John Thompson Brown II (1835-1864).","Col. John Thompson Brown II (4) (1835-1864), was less than two years old when his father died. He lived to carry out his father's ideas in the next generation when the debate regarding state rights and slavery came to be settled by recourse to arms. His fiery speeches contributed to the war fever, a war in which he rose to the rank of Colonel in the artillery before being killed by a sniper's bullet on May 6, 1864.","Henry Peronneau Brown (4) (1832-1894), was named after a Princeton schoolmate and close friend of his father's, Peronneau Finley, of Charleston, South Carolina. Henry Peronneau Brown lived briefly with his namesake after his father's death. The correspondence of Henry Peronneau Brown with his wife and their relatives, is chiefly of value for the insight it gives into family affairs during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Henry Peronneau Brown (1832- 1894), married France Bland Coalter (1835-1894), in 1858. They were the parents of John Thompson Brown III (b. 1861), who married Cassie Dallas Tucker Brown (fl.1898), reuniting the Tucker family with the line. They in turn had five children; John Thompson Brown IV (b. 1896); Frances Bland Coalter Brown; Henry Peronneau Brown III; Charles Brown; Elizabeth Dallas Brown; and Willcox Brown.","Coalter Family","John Coalter (1) (1769-1838), was born in 1769 to parents Michael Coalter and Elizabeth Moore. While his father was away serving in the war against the British, John Coalter and his brothers worked the family farm on Walker's Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia. After brief schooling he became tutor to the children of St. George Tucker (1752-1827), and Frances (Bland) Randolph Tucker (d.1788). Following the death of Mrs. Tucker, Coalter moved with the family to Williamsburg, serving without pay in return for the legal training he received from Judge St. George Tucker (1752-1827). While studying law, he also attended lectures at the College of William and Mary under Bp. James Madison and George Wythe. In December 1790, he received his license to practice law. A year later he married Maria Rind, the orphaned daughter of a Williamsburg printer, who had been serving as governess for the Tucker children. After the death of Maria Rind Coalter (d.1792), in childbirth, he married (1795), Margaret Davenport (d. 1795), of Williamsburg, who also died in childbirth within the year. Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), daughter of St. George Tucker, was taken as his third wife in 1802. John Coalter had been her tutor twelve years before. She later bore him his only three children, Frances Lelia Coalter (1803-1822), Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (1805-1853), and St. George Tucker Coalter (1809- 1839). John Coalter later became a Circuit Judge of the Virginia General Court and bought \"Elm Grove,\" an estate in Staunton, Virginia. Coalter continued to live there until 1811, at which time he moved to Richmond to serve as Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1822, Coalter took his fourth wife, the widow Hannah (Jones) Williamson. In his latter years he enjoyed wide holdings and interests, including a lively concern with gold mining in Virginia. John Tucker Coalter died at \"Chatham\u0026quot; plantation in Stafford County, Virginia, 1838.","Elizabeth Tucker Coalter (2) (1805-1853), married John Randolph Bryan (godson of John Randolph of Roanoke) in 1831 and lived at Eagle Point, Gloucester County, Virginia. They had nine children; John Coalter Bryan (1831-1853), Delia Bryan, (d. 1833), Frances Tucker Bryan (b. 1835), Randolph Bryan (b. 1837), Georgia Screven Bryan (b. 1839), St. George Tucker Bryan (b. 1843), Joseph Bryan (b. 1847), Thomas Forman Bryan (1848-1851), Corbin Braxton Bryan (b. 1852).","St. George Tucker Coalter (2) (1809-1839), married the strong-willed Judith Harrison Tomlin (1808-1859). He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William. P. Braxton in 1855; and St. George Tucker Coalter (b. 1839), who married Amelia Downy in 1862 and Charlotte (Downy) Terrill in 1868. See Brown Family","Tucker Family","St. George Tucker (1) (1752-1827), was born in 1752 near Port Royal, Bermuda to Ann Butterfield Tucker and Henry Tucker, a merchant. St. George Tucker had a extensive career in law starting with his acceptance to the College of William and Mary under the tutelage of George Wythe in 1771. He served as clerk of courts of Dinwiddlie County, 1774; commonwealth attorney for Chesterfield County, 1783-1786; law professor at the College of William and Mary, 1790; and federal court judge for Virginia, 1813-1825. In 1771, he married Frances (Bland) Randolph, a widow, who had three children from a previous marriage; Richard Randolph, Theodorick Randolph (d. 1792), and John Randolph of Roanoke. St. George and Frances Randolph Tucker together, had five children; Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), Tudor Tucker, Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), Elizabeth Tucker (b. 1788), and Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (1784-1851). They lived on the Randolph plantation, \"Mattoax\" in Chesterfield County, Virginia, until the death of France Randolph Tucker in 1813. In 1791, St. George remarried the widow Lelia Skipwith Carter (fl. 1795). None of their three children lived to adulthood.","Henry St. George Tucker (2) (1780-1848), served as a professor of law at the University of Virginia; in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1806-1807; in the U.S. Congress, 1815-1819; and in the Virginia Senate, 1819-1824. He married Anne Evelina Hunter in 1806 and had at least eleven children, including; Randolph Tucker, Dr. David Hunter Tucker, Frances Tucker, Mary Tucker, Virginia Tucker, Anne Tucker, and John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897).","Randolph Tucker (3) married Lucy (?).The couple had children; St. George Tucker and Judge Randolph Tucker.","Dr. David Hunter Tucker (3) married Eliz Dallas and had Rev. Dallas Tucker and Cassie Dallas Tucker.","John Randolph Tucker (3) (1823-1897), married Laura Holmes Powell in 1848 and had seven children. He was served as attorney general of Virginia, 1857-1865; professor of law at Washington College (currently Washington and Lee University); and was elected to U.S. Congress, 1874-1887.","Ann Frances Bland Tucker (2) (1785-1813), married John Coalter (1769-1838). See Coalter Family.","Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (2) (1784-1851), graduated from the College of William and Mary with a law degree. In 1807, he married Mary Coalter (d. 1827), sister of John Coalter (1769-1838). He moved to Missouri and became the Circuit Court Judge of the Missouri Territory in 1817. Nathaniel remarried twice, to Eliza Naylor in 1828 and to Lucy Anne Smith. He returned to teach at the College of William and Mary in 1834.","Other People\n \nWilliam Munford (1775-1825) A friend of John Tucker Coalter's (1769-1838), from his Williamsburg days, William Munford, a poet and lawyer of some note, wrote letters to Coalter which contain interesting reports of the College of William and Mary and of Harvard University. He wrote of the poverty stricken French immigrants in Norfolk, and sent vivid descriptions of the activity of the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. He lived and studied with George Wythe in Williamsburg, later moving with him to Richmond to serve as his clerk. His remarks on Wythe, for whom he had a great affection, throw light on that important member of the legal profession in the new nation.","Gary A. Adams' (fl. 1900), connection to the family is unknown. However, several bills to him from the dry goods stores and the household supply stores are included in the collection.","Cynthia Beverly (Tucker) Washington Coleman (1832-1908) of Williamsburg, was an aunt of Cassie Tucker.","Judge John Randolph Tucker (circa 1915) Newspaper Clippings, 1913-1915, from Nome, Alaska concern the term of judgeship of John Randolph Tucker, (circa 1915).","Captain David Tucker Brown (circa 1918), was a member of the 1918 Peace Commission, Paris, France.","Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame","There are two collections within the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department, Swem Library, College of William and Mary that Relate to this Collection.

After the war he opened a store in New London, Bedford (later Campbell) County with his brother, Daniel. He had a full and interesting life in mercantile pursuits, being involved in several ventures with other partners, and spending a good deal of his time in court collecting debts. He acted as Federal Tax Collector in Bedford County, 1800-1803, a deputy inspector of revenue and served several terms as a Sheriff. He was also a treasurer of the New London Academy Meeting House and the New London Agricultural Society. New London is in present day Campbell County, Virginia. His business and personal papers present a picture of the successful business man of that day. No letters written by Captain Henry Brown are in this collection, though many references to letters he had written are to be found. Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), married Frances Thompson (1775-1822). Their children included Henry Brown, Jr. (1797-1836), who married Eleanor Tucker; Samuel T.

Willcox, daughter of a leading citizen of Petersburg, he was elected to the House of Delegates. His speeches to the House of Delegates on slavery, states rights, and politics in the Jackson and post-Jackson period exist in pamphlet form and are valuable for their insight into the position taken by Virginians in this period. He also served as member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention from 1829-1830. At the age of 29 he was mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senator (appointed by the State legislature at the time), and undoubtedly would have been an important figure in national politics if he had not suffered an untimely death at the age of 34.

The correspondence of Henry Peronneau Brown with his wife and their relatives, is chiefly of value for the insight it gives into family affairs during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Henry Peronneau Brown (1832- 1894), married France Bland Coalter (1835-1894), in 1858. They were the parents of John Thompson Brown III (b. 1861), who married Cassie Dallas Tucker Brown (fl.1898), reuniting the Tucker family with the line.

After brief schooling he became tutor to the children of St. George Tucker (1752-1827), and Frances (Bland) Randolph Tucker (d.1788). Following the death of Mrs. Tucker, Coalter moved with the family to Williamsburg, serving without pay in return for the legal training he received from Judge St. George Tucker (1752-1827). While studying law, he also attended lectures at the College of William and Mary under Bp. James Madison and George Wythe. In December 1790, he received his license to practice law. A year later he married Maria Rind, the orphaned daughter of a Williamsburg printer, who had been serving as governess for the Tucker children. After the death of Maria Rind Coalter (d.1792), in childbirth, he married (1795), Margaret Davenport (d. 1795), of Williamsburg, who also died in childbirth within the year. Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), daughter of St. George Tucker, was taken as his third wife in 1802. John Coalter had been her tutor twelve years before. She later bore him his only three children, Frances Lelia Coalter (1803-1822), Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (1805-1853), and St. George Tucker Coalter (1809- 1839). John Coalter later became a Circuit Judge of the Virginia General Court and bought \"Elm Grove,\" an estate in Staunton, Virginia. Coalter continued to live there until 1811, at which time he moved to Richmond to serve as Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1822, Coalter took his fourth wife, the widow Hannah (Jones) Williamson. In his latter years he enjoyed wide holdings and interests, including a lively concern with gold mining in Virginia.

He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William.

He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William. P. Braxton in 1855; and St. George Tucker Coalter (b. 1839), who married Amelia Downy in 1862 and Charlotte (Downy) Terrill in 1868. See Brown Family","Tucker Family","St. George Tucker (1) (1752-1827), was born in 1752 near Port Royal, Bermuda to Ann Butterfield Tucker and Henry Tucker, a merchant. St. George Tucker had a extensive career in law starting with his acceptance to the College of William and Mary under the tutelage of George Wythe in 1771. He served as clerk of courts of Dinwiddlie County, 1774; commonwealth attorney for Chesterfield County, 1783-1786; law professor at the College of William and Mary, 1790; and federal court judge for Virginia, 1813-1825. In 1771, he married Frances (Bland) Randolph, a widow, who had three children from a previous marriage; Richard Randolph, Theodorick Randolph (d. 1792), and John Randolph of Roanoke. St. George and Frances Randolph Tucker together, had five children; Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), Tudor Tucker, Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), Elizabeth Tucker (b. 1788), and Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (1784-1851). They lived on the Randolph plantation, \"Mattoax\" in Chesterfield County, Virginia, until the death of France Randolph Tucker in 1813. In 1791, St. George remarried the widow Lelia Skipwith Carter (fl. 1795). None of their three children lived to adulthood.","Henry St. George Tucker (2) (1780-1848), served as a professor of law at the University of Virginia; in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1806-1807; in the U.S. Congress, 1815-1819; and in the Virginia Senate, 1819-1824. He married Anne Evelina Hunter in 1806 and had at least eleven children, including; Randolph Tucker, Dr. David Hunter Tucker, Frances Tucker, Mary Tucker, Virginia Tucker, Anne Tucker, and John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897).","Randolph Tucker (3) married Lucy (?).The couple had children; St. George Tucker and Judge Randolph Tucker.","Dr. David Hunter Tucker (3) married Eliz Dallas and had Rev.

See Coalter Family.","Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (2) (1784-1851), graduated from the College of William and Mary with a law degree. In 1807, he married Mary Coalter (d. 1827), sister of John Coalter (1769-1838). He moved to Missouri and became the Circuit Court Judge of the Missouri Territory in 1817. Nathaniel remarried twice, to Eliza Naylor in 1828 and to Lucy Anne Smith. He returned to teach at the College of William and Mary in 1834.","Other People\n \nWilliam Munford (1775-1825) A friend of John Tucker Coalter's (1769-1838), from his Williamsburg days, William Munford, a poet and lawyer of some note, wrote letters to Coalter which contain interesting reports of the College of William and Mary and of Harvard University. He wrote of the poverty stricken French immigrants in Norfolk, and sent vivid descriptions of the activity of the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. He lived and studied with George Wythe in Williamsburg, later moving with him to Richmond to serve as his clerk. His remarks on Wythe, for whom he had a great affection, throw light on that important member of the legal profession in the new nation.","Gary A. Adams' (fl. 1900), connection to the family is unknown. However, several bills to him from the dry goods stores and the household supply stores are included in the collection.","Cynthia Beverly (Tucker) Washington Coleman (1832-1908) of Williamsburg, was an aunt of Cassie Tucker.","Judge John Randolph Tucker (circa 1915) Newspaper Clippings, 1913-1915, from Nome, Alaska concern the term of judgeship of John Randolph Tucker, (circa 1915).","Captain David Tucker Brown (circa 1918), was a member of the 1918 Peace Commission, Paris, France."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAdditional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame\u003c/p\u003e  "],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBrown, Coalter, Tucker Papers (II), Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["Brown, Coalter, Tucker Papers (II), Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are two collections within the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department, Swem Library, College of William and Mary that Relate to this Collection.

He married Alice Beard and had eleven children including; Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), and Daniel Brown (1770-1818).","Henry Brown (2) (1760-1841), later commissioned as a Captain, was wounded in the Revolutionary War. After the war he opened a store in New London, Bedford (later Campbell) County with his brother, Daniel. He had a full and interesting life in mercantile pursuits, being involved in several ventures with other partners, and spending a good deal of his time in court collecting debts. He acted as Federal Tax Collector in Bedford County, 1800-1803, a deputy inspector of revenue and served several terms as a Sheriff. He was also a treasurer of the New London Academy Meeting House and the New London Agricultural Society. New London is in present day Campbell County, Virginia. His business and personal papers present a picture of the successful business man of that day. No letters written by Captain Henry Brown are in this collection, though many references to letters he had written are to be found. Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), married Frances Thompson (1775-1822). Their children included Henry Brown, Jr. (1797-1836), who married Eleanor Tucker; Samuel T. Brown, who married Lissie Huger; Locky [Lockie] T. Brown(b. 1827), who married Alexander Irvine; Frances Brown, who married Edwin Robinson; Alice Brown, who married William M. Worthington; and John Thompson Brown (1802-1836), who married Mary E. Willcox.","Many papers of Henry Brown, Jr. (3) (1797-1836), are included in this collection, but his personality makes little impression on the reader. Toward the end of his short life he served in his father's store in Lynchburg, later opening a store of his own. Henry Brown Jr. married Eleanor Tucker. He died of an illness that had plagued him from his early years.","John Thompson Brown (3) (1802-1836) was born near Bedford County, Virginia. He was a graduate of Princeton who later read law under Judge Creed Taylor. John became a member of the House of Delegates from Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia (later West Virginia), at the age of 26. Following his marriage in 1830 to Mary E. Willcox, daughter of a leading citizen of Petersburg, he was elected to the House of Delegates. His speeches to the House of Delegates on slavery, states rights, and politics in the Jackson and post-Jackson period exist in pamphlet form and are valuable for their insight into the position taken by Virginians in this period. He also served as member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention from 1829-1830. At the age of 29 he was mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senator (appointed by the State legislature at the time), and undoubtedly would have been an important figure in national politics if he had not suffered an untimely death at the age of 34. He and Mary Willcox had three children; Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), John Willcox Brown (b. 1833), and Col. John Thompson Brown II (1835-1864).","Col. John Thompson Brown II (4) (1835-1864), was less than two years old when his father died. He lived to carry out his father's ideas in the next generation when the debate regarding state rights and slavery came to be settled by recourse to arms. His fiery speeches contributed to the war fever, a war in which he rose to the rank of Colonel in the artillery before being killed by a sniper's bullet on May 6, 1864.","Henry Peronneau Brown (4) (1832-1894), was named after a Princeton schoolmate and close friend of his father's, Peronneau Finley, of Charleston, South Carolina. Henry Peronneau Brown lived briefly with his namesake after his father's death. The correspondence of Henry Peronneau Brown with his wife and their relatives, is chiefly of value for the insight it gives into family affairs during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Henry Peronneau Brown (1832- 1894), married France Bland Coalter (1835-1894), in 1858. They were the parents of John Thompson Brown III (b. 1861), who married Cassie Dallas Tucker Brown (fl.1898), reuniting the Tucker family with the line. They in turn had five children; John Thompson Brown IV (b. 1896); Frances Bland Coalter Brown; Henry Peronneau Brown III; Charles Brown; Elizabeth Dallas Brown; and Willcox Brown.","Coalter Family","John Coalter (1) (1769-1838), was born in 1769 to parents Michael Coalter and Elizabeth Moore. While his father was away serving in the war against the British, John Coalter and his brothers worked the family farm on Walker's Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia. After brief schooling he became tutor to the children of St. George Tucker (1752-1827), and Frances (Bland) Randolph Tucker (d.1788). Following the death of Mrs. Tucker, Coalter moved with the family to Williamsburg, serving without pay in return for the legal training he received from Judge St. George Tucker (1752-1827). While studying law, he also attended lectures at the College of William and Mary under Bp. James Madison and George Wythe. In December 1790, he received his license to practice law. A year later he married Maria Rind, the orphaned daughter of a Williamsburg printer, who had been serving as governess for the Tucker children. After the death of Maria Rind Coalter (d.1792), in childbirth, he married (1795), Margaret Davenport (d. 1795), of Williamsburg, who also died in childbirth within the year. Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), daughter of St. George Tucker, was taken as his third wife in 1802. John Coalter had been her tutor twelve years before. She later bore him his only three children, Frances Lelia Coalter (1803-1822), Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (1805-1853), and St. George Tucker Coalter (1809- 1839). John Coalter later became a Circuit Judge of the Virginia General Court and bought \"Elm Grove,\" an estate in Staunton, Virginia. Coalter continued to live there until 1811, at which time he moved to Richmond to serve as Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1822, Coalter took his fourth wife, the widow Hannah (Jones) Williamson. In his latter years he enjoyed wide holdings and interests, including a lively concern with gold mining in Virginia. John Tucker Coalter died at \"Chatham\u0026quot; plantation in Stafford County, Virginia, 1838.","Elizabeth Tucker Coalter (2) (1805-1853), married John Randolph Bryan (godson of John Randolph of Roanoke) in 1831 and lived at Eagle Point, Gloucester County, Virginia. They had nine children; John Coalter Bryan (1831-1853), Delia Bryan, (d. 1833), Frances Tucker Bryan (b. 1835), Randolph Bryan (b. 1837), Georgia Screven Bryan (b. 1839), St. George Tucker Bryan (b. 1843), Joseph Bryan (b. 1847), Thomas Forman Bryan (1848-1851), Corbin Braxton Bryan (b. 1852).","St. George Tucker Coalter (2) (1809-1839), married the strong-willed Judith Harrison Tomlin (1808-1859). He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William. P. Braxton in 1855; and St. George Tucker Coalter (b. 1839), who married Amelia Downy in 1862 and Charlotte (Downy) Terrill in 1868. See Brown Family","Tucker Family","St. George Tucker (1) (1752-1827), was born in 1752 near Port Royal, Bermuda to Ann Butterfield Tucker and Henry Tucker, a merchant. St. George Tucker had a extensive career in law starting with his acceptance to the College of William and Mary under the tutelage of George Wythe in 1771. He served as clerk of courts of Dinwiddlie County, 1774; commonwealth attorney for Chesterfield County, 1783-1786; law professor at the College of William and Mary, 1790; and federal court judge for Virginia, 1813-1825. In 1771, he married Frances (Bland) Randolph, a widow, who had three children from a previous marriage; Richard Randolph, Theodorick Randolph (d. 1792), and John Randolph of Roanoke. St. George and Frances Randolph Tucker together, had five children; Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), Tudor Tucker, Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), Elizabeth Tucker (b. 1788), and Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (1784-1851). They lived on the Randolph plantation, \"Mattoax\" in Chesterfield County, Virginia, until the death of France Randolph Tucker in 1813. In 1791, St. George remarried the widow Lelia Skipwith Carter (fl. 1795). None of their three children lived to adulthood.","Henry St. George Tucker (2) (1780-1848), served as a professor of law at the University of Virginia; in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1806-1807; in the U.S. Congress, 1815-1819; and in the Virginia Senate, 1819-1824. He married Anne Evelina Hunter in 1806 and had at least eleven children, including; Randolph Tucker, Dr. David Hunter Tucker, Frances Tucker, Mary Tucker, Virginia Tucker, Anne Tucker, and John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897).","Randolph Tucker (3) married Lucy (?).The couple had children; St. George Tucker and Judge Randolph Tucker.","Dr. David Hunter Tucker (3) married Eliz Dallas and had Rev. Dallas Tucker and Cassie Dallas Tucker.","John Randolph Tucker (3) (1823-1897), married Laura Holmes Powell in 1848 and had seven children. He was served as attorney general of Virginia, 1857-1865; professor of law at Washington College (currently Washington and Lee University); and was elected to U.S. Congress, 1874-1887.","Ann Frances Bland Tucker (2) (1785-1813), married John Coalter (1769-1838). See Coalter Family.","Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (2) (1784-1851), graduated from the College of William and Mary with a law degree. In 1807, he married Mary Coalter (d. 1827), sister of John Coalter (1769-1838). He moved to Missouri and became the Circuit Court Judge of the Missouri Territory in 1817. Nathaniel remarried twice, to Eliza Naylor in 1828 and to Lucy Anne Smith. He returned to teach at the College of William and Mary in 1834.","Other People\n \nWilliam Munford (1775-1825) A friend of John Tucker Coalter's (1769-1838), from his Williamsburg days, William Munford, a poet and lawyer of some note, wrote letters to Coalter which contain interesting reports of the College of William and Mary and of Harvard University. He wrote of the poverty stricken French immigrants in Norfolk, and sent vivid descriptions of the activity of the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. He lived and studied with George Wythe in Williamsburg, later moving with him to Richmond to serve as his clerk. His remarks on Wythe, for whom he had a great affection, throw light on that important member of the legal profession in the new nation.","Gary A. Adams' (fl. 1900), connection to the family is unknown. However, several bills to him from the dry goods stores and the household supply stores are included in the collection.","Cynthia Beverly (Tucker) Washington Coleman (1832-1908) of Williamsburg, was an aunt of Cassie Tucker.","Judge John Randolph Tucker (circa 1915) Newspaper Clippings, 1913-1915, from Nome, Alaska concern the term of judgeship of John Randolph Tucker, (circa 1915).","Captain David Tucker Brown (circa 1918), was a member of the 1918 Peace Commission, Paris, France.","Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame","There are two collections within the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department, Swem Library, College of William and Mary that Relate to this Collection.

After the war he opened a store in New London, Bedford (later Campbell) County with his brother, Daniel. He had a full and interesting life in mercantile pursuits, being involved in several ventures with other partners, and spending a good deal of his time in court collecting debts. He acted as Federal Tax Collector in Bedford County, 1800-1803, a deputy inspector of revenue and served several terms as a Sheriff. He was also a treasurer of the New London Academy Meeting House and the New London Agricultural Society. New London is in present day Campbell County, Virginia. His business and personal papers present a picture of the successful business man of that day. No letters written by Captain Henry Brown are in this collection, though many references to letters he had written are to be found. Captain Henry Brown (1760-1841), married Frances Thompson (1775-1822). Their children included Henry Brown, Jr. (1797-1836), who married Eleanor Tucker; Samuel T.

Willcox, daughter of a leading citizen of Petersburg, he was elected to the House of Delegates. His speeches to the House of Delegates on slavery, states rights, and politics in the Jackson and post-Jackson period exist in pamphlet form and are valuable for their insight into the position taken by Virginians in this period. He also served as member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention from 1829-1830. At the age of 29 he was mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senator (appointed by the State legislature at the time), and undoubtedly would have been an important figure in national politics if he had not suffered an untimely death at the age of 34.

The correspondence of Henry Peronneau Brown with his wife and their relatives, is chiefly of value for the insight it gives into family affairs during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Henry Peronneau Brown (1832- 1894), married France Bland Coalter (1835-1894), in 1858. They were the parents of John Thompson Brown III (b. 1861), who married Cassie Dallas Tucker Brown (fl.1898), reuniting the Tucker family with the line.

After brief schooling he became tutor to the children of St. George Tucker (1752-1827), and Frances (Bland) Randolph Tucker (d.1788). Following the death of Mrs. Tucker, Coalter moved with the family to Williamsburg, serving without pay in return for the legal training he received from Judge St. George Tucker (1752-1827). While studying law, he also attended lectures at the College of William and Mary under Bp. James Madison and George Wythe. In December 1790, he received his license to practice law. A year later he married Maria Rind, the orphaned daughter of a Williamsburg printer, who had been serving as governess for the Tucker children. After the death of Maria Rind Coalter (d.1792), in childbirth, he married (1795), Margaret Davenport (d. 1795), of Williamsburg, who also died in childbirth within the year. Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), daughter of St. George Tucker, was taken as his third wife in 1802. John Coalter had been her tutor twelve years before. She later bore him his only three children, Frances Lelia Coalter (1803-1822), Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (1805-1853), and St. George Tucker Coalter (1809- 1839). John Coalter later became a Circuit Judge of the Virginia General Court and bought \"Elm Grove,\" an estate in Staunton, Virginia. Coalter continued to live there until 1811, at which time he moved to Richmond to serve as Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1822, Coalter took his fourth wife, the widow Hannah (Jones) Williamson. In his latter years he enjoyed wide holdings and interests, including a lively concern with gold mining in Virginia.

He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William.

He lived out his life fighting sickness and the losing battle of making his farm profitable. Judith Harrison Tomlin collected letters, which included many exchanged by the fourteen cousins (nine Bryans and five Coalters). Though none of these people were prominent on the large canvas of life, their collected letters give an interesting and informative picture of life in Virginia in the first half of the nineteenth century. St. George and Judith Coalter had six children; Walker Tomlin Coalter (1830-1831); John Coalter (1831-1883); Henry Tucker (1833-1870); Ann Frances Bland Coalter (1835-1894), who married Henry Peronneau Brown (1832-1894), in 1858; Virginia Braxton Coalter (b. 1837), who married William. P. Braxton in 1855; and St. George Tucker Coalter (b. 1839), who married Amelia Downy in 1862 and Charlotte (Downy) Terrill in 1868. See Brown Family","Tucker Family","St. George Tucker (1) (1752-1827), was born in 1752 near Port Royal, Bermuda to Ann Butterfield Tucker and Henry Tucker, a merchant. St. George Tucker had a extensive career in law starting with his acceptance to the College of William and Mary under the tutelage of George Wythe in 1771. He served as clerk of courts of Dinwiddlie County, 1774; commonwealth attorney for Chesterfield County, 1783-1786; law professor at the College of William and Mary, 1790; and federal court judge for Virginia, 1813-1825. In 1771, he married Frances (Bland) Randolph, a widow, who had three children from a previous marriage; Richard Randolph, Theodorick Randolph (d. 1792), and John Randolph of Roanoke. St. George and Frances Randolph Tucker together, had five children; Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), Tudor Tucker, Ann Frances Bland Tucker (1785-1813), Elizabeth Tucker (b. 1788), and Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (1784-1851). They lived on the Randolph plantation, \"Mattoax\" in Chesterfield County, Virginia, until the death of France Randolph Tucker in 1813. In 1791, St. George remarried the widow Lelia Skipwith Carter (fl. 1795). None of their three children lived to adulthood.","Henry St. George Tucker (2) (1780-1848), served as a professor of law at the University of Virginia; in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1806-1807; in the U.S. Congress, 1815-1819; and in the Virginia Senate, 1819-1824. He married Anne Evelina Hunter in 1806 and had at least eleven children, including; Randolph Tucker, Dr. David Hunter Tucker, Frances Tucker, Mary Tucker, Virginia Tucker, Anne Tucker, and John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897).","Randolph Tucker (3) married Lucy (?).The couple had children; St. George Tucker and Judge Randolph Tucker.","Dr. David Hunter Tucker (3) married Eliz Dallas and had Rev.

See Coalter Family.","Nathaniel Beverley Tucker (2) (1784-1851), graduated from the College of William and Mary with a law degree. In 1807, he married Mary Coalter (d. 1827), sister of John Coalter (1769-1838). He moved to Missouri and became the Circuit Court Judge of the Missouri Territory in 1817. Nathaniel remarried twice, to Eliza Naylor in 1828 and to Lucy Anne Smith. He returned to teach at the College of William and Mary in 1834.","Other People\n \nWilliam Munford (1775-1825) A friend of John Tucker Coalter's (1769-1838), from his Williamsburg days, William Munford, a poet and lawyer of some note, wrote letters to Coalter which contain interesting reports of the College of William and Mary and of Harvard University. He wrote of the poverty stricken French immigrants in Norfolk, and sent vivid descriptions of the activity of the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. He lived and studied with George Wythe in Williamsburg, later moving with him to Richmond to serve as his clerk. His remarks on Wythe, for whom he had a great affection, throw light on that important member of the legal profession in the new nation.","Gary A. Adams' (fl. 1900), connection to the family is unknown. However, several bills to him from the dry goods stores and the household supply stores are included in the collection.","Cynthia Beverly (Tucker) Washington Coleman (1832-1908) of Williamsburg, was an aunt of Cassie Tucker.","Judge John Randolph Tucker (circa 1915) Newspaper Clippings, 1913-1915, from Nome, Alaska concern the term of judgeship of John Randolph Tucker, (circa 1915).","Captain David Tucker Brown (circa 1918), was a member of the 1918 Peace Commission, Paris, France."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAdditional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame\u003c/p\u003e  "],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00052.frame"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBrown, Coalter, Tucker Papers (II), Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["Brown, Coalter, Tucker Papers (II), Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are two collections within the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department, Swem Library, College of William and Mary that Relate to this Collection.

Mary wishes Fanny would write. Wish Lucy was with Fanny because Mary does not have work for her and will probably hire her our next year. Sister Anne has small school that will increase after Christmas, though only 2 girls currently board.","Mary C. has been ill. Sister is cast down because her school has increased a little but she has no boarders. Jean Stone is here but she takes the place of Frank. Mary wishes John could help her. John has taken a school. Letter from Blair last week, he is in Sumter, Alabama with Powell helping to build his house where he will stay this year and make a crop. Powell has bought land and is settling; he has a very good school. Blair wants Mary C. to go live with him because he believes she would like the neighborhood although she is unsure of this. Mary C. is going to Vicksburg next fall. Mr. Garland had an accident. He had got to Wheeling and expected to leave in the evening for St. Louis. Mr. G seems in good spirits and it was fortunate that Mr. Rose went with him. Mr. Rose carried Albert and Jim with him and after he was hurt, John Rose had to leave Mr. G and take them to Wheeling to keep them out of the way of the Abolishi. He hired them out there and then went back for Mr. G. Anne first received a letter from Mr. Rose which was initially alarming if it wasn't for Mr. Garland's postscript. Lewis Burwell is in from Alabama, he got there on December 29th, and it is assumed it was a courting expedition. John Burwell has another son. Alexander Boyd is to be married to Sally Young. Mary Burwell staying in town all winter and sends her love. Servants are delighted at the thought of moving west. If Mr. G likes his family, he will move in the fall which is a long time for Mary C. to look forward to and thinking about it makes her dread it very much. Saw an account of a tornado which passed through Gloucester and Mathews and is curious as to whether it was near Fanny. Hired Lucy out this year for $30. Mary does all the necessary work except washing which is done by Charlotte because Anne has no boarders. Little Fan sends love. The baby is named Spotswood.","Mrs. Bott came in tonight and says tell Mama that Anna has a son named Dandridge Spotswood who is about 3 weeks old and is doing well. Brother R is fond of it. Amy is still weak. Behind with sewing work because Lizzie has to mind the baby so much. In dreadful spirits. Disappointed at Mama not coming with Mrs. Jones. Caroline joined the Church Sunday before last. Yesterday Spotswood was baptized and it hurt that Mama wasn't there. Hope Brother J will be able to sell the colt to get the money so that Mama can take what she needs of it. Tried to collect money but failed and am tiring of death and debt. Mr. G and Mary are well. Expect Mama with Dr. S. and Lady. Write by Dr. S because he will return next Sunday.","Send copies of the letters contained in the St. Louis Republican. They were received today addressed to Uncle Armistead. City of Mexico, October 1, 1847 – particulars of Brother William's death. He was Aide to Col. Clark Commander of 2nd Brigade of Gen: Worth's Division. Morning of the 8th, they reported to Col. McIntosh. Col. Clark had been wounded at Churabusco. Took possession against the enemy lines at dawn and were given orders to charge and drive the enemy from the position in which he occupied. Order was obeyed and we were victorious but at the expense of our best men. 1/3 of the men and 21 of 41 officers in our division were killed or wounded. Brother was shot down by a musket when within 10 feet if the enemy's 1st line of defense. Ball struck him just above the knee of his right leg (breaking it) and then he was struck down by a lance which ultimately killed him. During the long and bloody fight his sword and sash were stolen as well as the ring on his finger. He was buried the next morning in sight of the battlefield with the other 120 who fell with him. Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities. Enclosed are those items in addition to a letter from Col. Clark to General Worth about his death. R.W. Kirkman cut locks of his hair and will send those in the trunk but enclosed are locks of hair that had been cut by the lance that killed him and were lying on the ground near him. Been with Burwell since the first of May and any further questions I would love to help. –R.W. Kirkham Adjt. 5th Infantry. Tacubaga, Mexico, September 10, 1847 – excellent qualities possessed by William T. Burwell. Beloved for his suavity and irreproachable manners. –N.G. Clark Col. 5th infantry.","Haven't heard from John since last September. Brother A. received a letter from Mary Papplan saying that Fanny had a daughter and Mary C. felt mortified because she didn't know. Mr. Catlett wrote about the birth of Willie but not with this new child. Mary C. is in Jackson Mississippi with Brother Armistead who has been there since October. Blair went to Texas in November and Powell is married and no longer needed Mary C.  She left Alabama in January with friends and visited New Orleans before coming back to Jackson. Randolph lives in New Orleans and Mary C. visited with him for 5 weeks and was pleased with his wife who is the daughter of Mr. Meade who was an old acquaintance. Mrs. Goodwyn from Virginia is a sister of Roberts wife was also there and stayed a fair amount of time as well. Bettie went to Mary G.'s wedding in St Louis and has yet to return. Mary going to Virginia. In June Mrs. Caroline G. is in St. Louis with Mary and Doctor. Mr. Pembroke Garland is living with Doctor G and Mrs. Garland came to visit. Mr. Pembroke has been confined to his bed for 8 years. Mrs. Doctor Garland came to visit after Mary C. arrived in Jackson; she is the daughter of Mr. James Garland. Letter from Powell and Margaret stated that little Willie missed Mary C. after she left. Mr. Catlett's friend, Mr. Morris, lives near Jackson and Mary C. sent word to him by Mr. Bur. Have a good Presbyterian preacher. Blair likes Texas; he is on the San Antonio River in Victoria County and he is good health. Cousin Ann is doing well and living with Cousin Sally. Mr. Roberts tends to his plantation which is 4 miles from Cousin Sally's. Matilda Boyd is married to a brother of Ann's husband.","Pris gave birth to a son on July 30th and both are doing well. The assumption is that the child will be named Armistead. Fanny hasn't been feeling well and Mary C is worried about her. Hope Miss Lucy is better. Wishes for Fanny's mother to let her know who the minister is in Abingdon now. Powell is doing well and had another son named Armistead Thomas after the grandfathers. Blair is pleased with Texas where he is buying and selling stocks which he finds profitable, the nearest post office is in Goliad and he says the traveling agrees with him. Anne is in very bad spirits. Hugh is with Anne, but they are contemplating sending him to Uncle Landon because she does not want to send another child to Roman Catholic School. Caroline has a son born on July 8th that is named Bernard Gains after the Dr.'s father. Anna will be confined soon with her 11th child. Brother R sent his and his 2 boys, Armistead and Robert's, Daguerreotypes. Robert looks old. Brother A. is working on his river plantation. John is candidate for Clerk of the Senate. Feels solicitude for Frank and is anxious for John to send him to Powell until he is old enough for business. Visited Cousin Mary Barnet who lives in Yazoo City with her five children. In her most recent letter she wrote of losing her infant that was born when Mary C. visited.","Lady in Vicksburg had sensitivity to light but an eye doctor helped her and she can now read and work. The Doctor sees patients from all over the US. Brother Robert to visit if she doesn't go to Virginia over the summer. All is well with Mary. Blair is in good health and was about to start moving cattle from the Colorado River to Matagorda Bay and is expected to be gone 3 months. Hopes Fanny will see Dr. Farrar and has heard from Sister Anne that while he is in Richmond he would try to see Fanny. Won't be home until the last of June unless someone is going to Jackson. Armistead can't come and Mary C. doesn't want to burden Powell because he brought her. Pris's baby is ill with Whooping Cough. Bettie and the rest are well. Unsure about John not sending Frank to school. Miss Nancy P. and David Minge are married. If Charles Field lived in Rosewell, where is Mrs. Tabb Catlett. Powell, Margaret, and Cousin Mary Barnet (Randolph) send their love.","3rd son of Brother Armistead passed away at age 5 of Dysentery after the Measles. The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children. The baby is 13 months old and no bigger than a 6 month old. He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died. Brother Armistead has been unwell for 2 months with diarrhea. Concerned about Frank. Powell does not teach at home now; he is employed at an academy 3 miles from home where he teaches languages. Dr. Farrar expects Prince Edward will go to Philadelphia in March because he has a son that will graduate then. Brother Robert might come to visit this winter and if so she might go back with him. Pris sends love. Bettie is very busy and sends love. Miss Lucy's health is bad. Blair is still in Texas.","Thinking of writing Fanny for 10 years but have always out it off. Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.","State of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.  Uncle B joined the Presbyterian Church yesterday. Be at home about 4 days every month from cattle driving.","In Petersburg 3 weeks. Hugh came the Wednesday before Anne left and stayed one night because he had to go to Memphis where he expects to get a commission under the Confederate States in Col Bowen's regiment. He left the day Eliza was buried. She died Wednesday the 12th and was buried the next day at 4 o'clock. Sam and her brothers arrived after she was already gone. Left Petersburg Monday morning and joined Nannie B. who had left the Friday before in Hillsboro. Robert is going to join the hornet's nest, a company in Col Hill's regiment at Yorktown. People here been busy today fixing boxes for the North Carolina regiments. Robert leaves tonight and Florence Morton goes as far as Petersburg with him. Anna is going to Hillsboro as well as Willie who is going there to study medicine. Armistead is in the Calvary Company near Little Rock.","Comfort to have Bob stationed near Frances and wish that Armistead was with him. Armistead joined the Calvary Company in Arkansas and was stationed near Little Rock.","Aunt Carrie staying with Aunt Mary since news of Uncle Sam's illness. He is at his Mississippi plantation. Letter from Cousin Mattie. Not a word from Spot. Hear from Hugh in an indirect way; he is in Kentucky near Columbus. Heard through General Meems that Uncle Armistead got over the river safely and is expected to get on without difficulty.","Sam died. Fell at the battle near Boonsborough, Maryland on Sunday the 14th. Thought to have initially died at Harper's Ferry but he wasn't near Harper's Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper's Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon's son, Maurice, who was Sam's aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.","School began the 1st of the month. Wife had an accident that confined her to her room for 2 weeks. Anxious about Armistead. He is in General Price's army. Not heard from in more than a month. John's regiment has been ordered to Suffolk and is expected to fight soon. His regiment is Colonel Owen the 53rd. Willie was in Richmond and it is rumored that his regiment has been ordered to the same place. His regiment is the 43rd Colonel Kenan. John is Ass.

Several refugees, 5 grown persons. 2 children and 2 servants in addition to the Episcopal minister, his wife and servant. In total there are 39 regular boarders. Flour is $28 per barrel and butter is 50 or 60 cents per pound, and everything in the same proportion. Supplies can scarcely be had at any price. Can get shoes for $8 and because the price will only rise, will have the shoes made and sent to Petersburg unless otherwise instructed. Member of church sick in hospital in Lynchburg. His wife has written repeated but has heard nothing in return. His name is J.L. Todd and is in Christian Hospital Ward no. 3. Please make inquiry so that the wife can be informed. Congregation has lost 19 young men from wounds and sickness in the company.","Hugh's health improved and left the 4th for the army. He is Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Missouri Regiment and expects to go to Missouri with Price soon. Received letter from Hugh while he was in Charlotte where he stayed with Brother Robert. Brother Robert has a good school and several refugees boarding, fortunately they were able to buy corn flour, meat, and sugar at reasonable prices. Maggie was ill but has since recovered and gone to Buller Clairborne's to visit. Hugh was in Richmond but was unable to see Mr. Catlett. Brother John received crops and they are a great help.","Hugh not hurt in the battle near Grand Gulf. Spotswood is doing well. University of Alabama closes on the 5th of June because of scarcity in provision, a month early. Because he has been there 2 semesters he is able to come home for break even though it is an expensive and dangerous trip. If he returns to university he will be the only senior. Expect Brother Landon the last of June or 1st of July. His son, Maurice, is in the 2nd Virginia Cavalry. Girls and Hugh spent Christmas at Buller Clairborne's and met with Sarah Rose who is also staying there.

He hired them out there and then went back for Mr. G. Anne first received a letter from Mr. Rose which was initially alarming if it wasn't for Mr. Garland's postscript.

Mary Burwell staying in town all winter and sends her love. Servants are delighted at the thought of moving west. If Mr. G likes his family, he will move in the fall which is a long time for Mary C. to look forward to and thinking about it makes her dread it very much. Saw an account of a tornado which passed through Gloucester and Mathews and is curious as to whether it was near Fanny. Hired Lucy out this year for $30.

Caroline joined the Church Sunday before last. Yesterday Spotswood was baptized and it hurt that Mama wasn't there. Hope Brother J will be able to sell the colt to get the money so that Mama can take what she needs of it. Tried to collect money but failed and am tiring of death and debt. Mr. G and Mary are well.

They were received today addressed to Uncle Armistead. City of Mexico, October 1, 1847 – particulars of Brother William's death. He was Aide to Col. Clark Commander of 2nd Brigade of Gen: Worth's Division. Morning of the 8th, they reported to Col. McIntosh. Col. Clark had been wounded at Churabusco. Took possession against the enemy lines at dawn and were given orders to charge and drive the enemy from the position in which he occupied. Order was obeyed and we were victorious but at the expense of our best men. 1/3 of the men and 21 of 41 officers in our division were killed or wounded. Brother was shot down by a musket when within 10 feet if the enemy's 1st line of defense. Ball struck him just above the knee of his right leg (breaking it) and then he was struck down by a lance which ultimately killed him. During the long and bloody fight his sword and sash were stolen as well as the ring on his finger. He was buried the next morning in sight of the battlefield with the other 120 who fell with him. Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities. Enclosed are those items in addition to a letter from Col. Clark to General Worth about his death. R.W. Kirkman cut locks of his hair and will send those in the trunk but enclosed are locks of hair that had been cut by the lance that killed him and were lying on the ground near him. Been with Burwell since the first of May and any further questions I would love to help. –R.W. Kirkham Adjt. 5th Infantry.

Blair is pleased with Texas where he is buying and selling stocks which he finds profitable, the nearest post office is in Goliad and he says the traveling agrees with him. Anne is in very bad spirits. Hugh is with Anne, but they are contemplating sending him to Uncle Landon because she does not want to send another child to Roman Catholic School. Caroline has a son born on July 8th that is named Bernard Gains after the Dr.'s father. Anna will be confined soon with her 11th child. Brother R sent his and his 2 boys, Armistead and Robert's, Daguerreotypes. Robert looks old. Brother A. is working on his river plantation. John is candidate for Clerk of the Senate. Feels solicitude for Frank and is anxious for John to send him to Powell until he is old enough for business. Visited Cousin Mary Barnet who lives in Yazoo City with her five children.

The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children. The baby is 13 months old and no bigger than a 6 month old. He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died. Brother Armistead has been unwell for 2 months with diarrhea. Concerned about Frank. Powell does not teach at home now; he is employed at an academy 3 miles from home where he teaches languages. Dr. Farrar expects Prince Edward will go to Philadelphia in March because he has a son that will graduate then. Brother Robert might come to visit this winter and if so she might go back with him.

Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eYoungest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eYellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him.

Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026amp; 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else.

Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBrother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary.

No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year.

The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.

Blair is in good health and was about to start moving cattle from the Colorado River to Matagorda Bay and is expected to be gone 3 months. Hopes Fanny will see Dr. Farrar and has heard from Sister Anne that while he is in Richmond he would try to see Fanny. Won't be home until the last of June unless someone is going to Jackson. Armistead can't come and Mary C. doesn't want to burden Powell because he brought her. Pris's baby is ill with Whooping Cough. Bettie and the rest are well. Unsure about John not sending Frank to school. Miss Nancy P. and David Minge are married. If Charles Field lived in Rosewell, where is Mrs. Tabb Catlett. Powell, Margaret, and Cousin Mary Barnet (Randolph) send their love.","3rd son of Brother Armistead passed away at age 5 of Dysentery after the Measles. The 3 older children had the measles at the same time but faired much more favorably. He suffered for 10 days. He was the most healthy and sprightly of the children. The baby is 13 months old and no bigger than a 6 month old. He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died. Brother Armistead has been unwell for 2 months with diarrhea. Concerned about Frank. Powell does not teach at home now; he is employed at an academy 3 miles from home where he teaches languages. Dr. Farrar expects Prince Edward will go to Philadelphia in March because he has a son that will graduate then. Brother Robert might come to visit this winter and if so she might go back with him. Pris sends love. Bettie is very busy and sends love. Miss Lucy's health is bad. Blair is still in Texas.","Thinking of writing Fanny for 10 years but have always out it off. Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.","State of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.  Uncle B joined the Presbyterian Church yesterday. Be at home about 4 days every month from cattle driving.","In Petersburg 3 weeks. Hugh came the Wednesday before Anne left and stayed one night because he had to go to Memphis where he expects to get a commission under the Confederate States in Col Bowen's regiment.

Letter from Cousin Mattie. Not a word from Spot. Hear from Hugh in an indirect way; he is in Kentucky near Columbus. Heard through General Meems that Uncle Armistead got over the river safely and is expected to get on without difficulty.","Sam died. Fell at the battle near Boonsborough, Maryland on Sunday the 14th. Thought to have initially died at Harper's Ferry but he wasn't near Harper's Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper's Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon's son, Maurice, who was Sam's aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.","School began the 1st of the month. Wife had an accident that confined her to her room for 2 weeks.

Maggie was ill but has since recovered and gone to Buller Clairborne's to visit. Hugh was in Richmond but was unable to see Mr. Catlett. Brother John received crops and they are a great help.","Hugh not hurt in the battle near Grand Gulf. Spotswood is doing well. University of Alabama closes on the 5th of June because of scarcity in provision, a month early.

Her two brothers escaped the war unscathed and lived to be moderately old. People poor after war. Scarcity of food - lived off of corn bread \u0026 fried meat. Education was troublesome – father formerly employed teachers for her brothers but once they came of age, her family had to drive 4 miles to brother-in-laws house to be taught by Dr. Griffin (Earl of 'Traquaire'). First great invention she remembers is the sewing machine because it made women's lives easier. After the sewing machine was the telephone which helped to unite all of Tidewater, Virginia.

Only younger brother, Carter, and she remain of their family. Husband died 7 years before. Has 6 grandchildren. Expressions used by servant. \"Uncle\" George caught and prepared oysters for her 16th birthday. White mammy was housekeeper who idolized her mother's children and is remembered for her faith in God. Grandmother Ann Walker Carter, married John Catlett, jr. of King William County, Virginia in 1780. Their first daughter was named \"Hetty\" after a Quaker nurse who nursed John back to health in Philadelphia. Grandfather built 'manor house' along the York River, 4.5 miles above Yorktown. Aunt Hetty married Mr. Benjamin Waller of Williamsburg. Gave miniature to son's wife (married his mother's niece who was her 1st cousin). Father had 7 sisters: Polly married Col.

Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities.

Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary.

Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna.

Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her. Brother A was at court and didn't return until Wednesday morning. She was interred on Wednesday and is now resting with William and Bettie.","Lilly, Uncle Armistead's second daughter died. She was taken sick before Jinnie. Grief so great for Jinnie's loss that can't feel Lilly's. Aunt Carrie and Maggie are staying at the Barrens until Carrie goes to Virginia with Uncle Burwell. Also included is the obituary of Virginia Burwell.","Busy cow driving. Make an abundance of corn for bread. Uncle A lost 2 daughters within a very short time with Grandma following shortly after that. Vicksburg is a very sickly place and it is good that Aunt Anne and her family are leaving it. Aunt Anne to Virginia, Nan to St. Louis, Mag to school with Aunt Anna, Spot to school in St. Louis, and Hugh is still in St. Louis. Uncle Pow and family were well a few weeks ago.","Comment on life in Texas. Writing to Frances in hopes that Sister Ann is with her. No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen. No crop last year, only 4 bales of cotton on 50 acres and no corn. Blair goes 8 to 10 days in the cow driving season sleeping outside without taking his boots off, he has made about $1000 a year. Complains of hardships and wishes to get rid of his contract which is effective 3 more years. Hair and beard almost white and looks 10 years older than Ben, but his health is better here than in Alabama. Frank one of the best cow hands on the range. Immigration here has increased in the last few years, but last year's drought slowed this immigration. Most of the newcomers are planters. Two Prestons of Missouri (Landon and Shaw), kin to the Virginia Prestons, have settled on the Navidad about 5 miles from Ben. Had another daughter last month, so they now have 4 sons and 3 daughter and all are in good health. The newest girl is named Martha Catherine. Try to teach the 5 oldest but they do not like books. Very mild winter. Can get oysters from 20 miles away. Last ham of bacon was from Alabama. Until this year killed deer and turkey but this year they have been scarce. Probable that Texas will declare itself independent and it is doubtful that she will enter into the Southern Confederacy. Hope no black republic will ever rule. Grieves that he has to eat corn from a Republican state this year.","State of affairs has made money matters very hard in the South. The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork. Woolfork shot four times and stabbed 5 times and Flournoy's son died immediately. Corn is 6 or 7 inches high. Uncle B and family are not home because they went to Texana Friday for preaching.  Uncle B joined the Presbyterian Church yesterday. Be at home about 4 days every month from cattle driving.","In Petersburg 3 weeks.

Thought to have initially died at Harper's Ferry but he wasn't near Harper's Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper's Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon's son, Maurice, who was Sam's aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.","School began the 1st of the month. Wife had an accident that confined her to her room for 2 weeks.

Maggie was ill but has since recovered and gone to Buller Clairborne's to visit. Hugh was in Richmond but was unable to see Mr. Catlett. Brother John received crops and they are a great help.","Hugh not hurt in the battle near Grand Gulf. Spotswood is doing well.

Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities.

Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful.

The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse.

No smoke house on property and all eatables are kept in a cabin that is about 8 square feet. No corn crib or stable. Get corn and flour from New Orleans and kill a hog as needed. The stock is fed by the pasture from the Navidad to the Lavaca River. Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen. Never run more than three plows at a time so that there is always a team able to work. Break land with 2 or 4 yoke of oxen. Work the crop with mules and horses and a single yoke of oxen.

The Comanche Indians have been coming down on the settlers killing them and stealing everything. Mr. W.B. Grimes started a rancho on the Leona which empties into the Frio. Had 2200 head of cattle and 22 cow horses. The Indians penned 20 of the horses in their own pen close to the house and the two they couldn't open.  One they shot and the other they frightened so much that he could not be helped. One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die. One man they scalped and cut the skin off the bottom of his feet and made him run through the thorns, then skinned his beard off, shot 20 copper spiked arrows into him and then cut them out, picked a hole in the back of his neck, shot him through with a musket ball, cut out his heart, then cleaned off the road and stretched him across it and made 9 marks by the side of him. The lady was scalped but is still alive. The two men who take care of G's stock told F.M. Flournoy and son killed Woolfork.

Col. Scott and Captain Merrill are buried on either side of Burwell as well as his little dog Rod who had been shot through the body during the battle, but was found licking his masters wounds before he died. 9/10th of those who had their limbs amputated have died and so it is good that Burwell's was a quick death. 8 of Burwell's regiment, more than half of those who initially came to the City of Mexico have fallen. Burwell has an ink stand sand box and wafer box which he took to the castle of Perote. He is noted as wishing his brother in Vicksburg had them because he would have appreciated their curiosities.

He contracted whooping cough in the spring while teething, followed by diarrhea, and then the measles when it was thought he would not live. Virginia became very ill the week after her brother died.

Settled 3 miles west of Sumterville, 15 miles north of Livingston and 8 miles southwest of Gainesville. House is a double log cabin with sheds on both sides. A fine sandy hill is 200 yards from the church and the garden and orchard are between the house and church. Moved an old female school house so as to have 5 rooms beside a dining room, cook room, and store room. Settled here in 1847 when bought 80 acres of land at $12 ½, 2 years ago bought another 80 at $10 and this spring bought 100 acres at $15. Brother-in-law owns half of everything except the last 100 acres in which he owns ¼. He takes care of the farm while Ben takes care of the schoolhouse. Charges $4 a month and allow them to quit when they choose. 3 children - all boys and the oldest will be 4 next September, the youngest is 3 months. The older children are spoiled rotten. Rarely leaves the house without Willie and his dog Prince and Ben's dog Blue. Only teach 6 hours a day. Live in a good neighborhood where all the people are industrious. The country has been healthy for the last 8 years. At Sumterville there are 2 schools, one for male and one for female. The male school is a military school taught by a Dinwiddian, a graduate of Virginia Military institute. The female school is taught by Mr. Davidson of Petersburg, a grandson of General Butts and graduate of the U.S. Naval School. In Livingston the female teacher, Mr. Brame, was born in Petersburg, and so the Dinwoodie is well represented here. Blair is still in Texas but speaks of coming in the summer.","Youngest boy, 2 ½ years old, died last March 1, 2 months after Mary left us which makes the loss of 3 loved ones in a year and a half. Molly's death was sudden and of an unaccountable sickness. She had been complaining for several weeks of pain in her bowels. Her baby was born August 13th and seemed to recover relatively quickly, gaining weight and looking healthy in only 2 months. Friend and relative of the doctor was married middle of October. Mary helped with the wedding and attended the parties looking as well as ever. Became involved in religious duties. Longed to see her deceased sister, Carry. Promised her that her children would be taken care of. Sunday before Christmas, she dined with Anne P. and seemed more cheerful. She had dinner with friends and ate some pressed souse which is the supposed immediate reason for her illness. The next morning she complained of excruciating pain and so the Dr. prescribed her medicine and sent for Dr. Linton. She sent for Anne P. at 9 o'clock as she grew worse where she was suffering from intense pain in her bowels and vomiting. Sent for Dr. Papin. She got better the following day, but at about midday she complained of a pain in her side and so she was given a little paregoric under Dr.'s orders. Left her room for a few minutes and when Anne P. returned to give her the prescribed medicine she was breathing very badly and could not be aroused. Called the doctor immediately who thought she had only slept too long and gave her brandy and succeeded in rousing her though she remained cold where she began praying with a stiff tongue, after which she could not be revived. The last words she said where for Lizzie to \"rub my hands\" By 10 o'clock she was a corpse. The boy contracted scarlet fever on a Thursday and passed away the following Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock. Fanny to go with Betty Lemoine and spend time with her Virginia relations. Went through 7 years in poverty. Received a letter from mother. Thankful that Mr. G. is a changed man and is a constant member of the Episcopal Church. Hugh is a very promising boy and assists Mr. Watt in teaching and so his own education costs nothing. Collects bills and makes nearly enough to cloth himself. Mag is rather rude and wild. Spot is a complete scape grace. He is the only one that goes to school. Fanny teaches Nan and Mag but could not manage Spot.  Mary's children are doing well.","Yellow fever broke here in August, but went to the country and were fortunate enough to escape it with the exception of one servant who went to town without the master's knowledge, but who has fully recovered. This is the winter the legislature meets and the town is filled with people. Bettie's being married and left us. Pris is not able to go out. Miss Fanny wishes to be with her again if she could afford it. Fanny has 3 children. Powell is the only one that writes often. He has 3 boys: William, Armistead Thomas, after the two grandfathers and Benjamin Powell. I named the two last. He sent money to have Mary C.'s daguerreotype taken and sent it to him. Blair is still in Texas. He made arrangements to visit last August but the yellow fever was everywhere in the way in which Jno was to come.","Fanny is with Frances. Baby has been very sick for 2 months and has the worst sore eyes, but he is now getting better. Asks about Frances's soul and whether or not she is saved.","Wrote Mr. C. to meet in Richmond but Cholera is very bad in Richmond and so Mrs. Petrie thought it was best to stop in Augusta, Georgia. Fear Mr. Catlett never received telegraph. Crossing the York River, as well as the uncertainty of getting a conveyance to Gloucester deters her from going until she has heard from John or Mr. Catlett. Dr. jones went to Gloucester yesterday and if there wasn't word from John or Mr. Catlett, Mary C. would go with him today.","Tried for many years to get Brother John to come to Alabama and join B.P. in a school. Contemplated raising money next fall to pay off John's debts in order to get him to Alabama. Would like to help John but doesn't want to injure himself or his family in the process. If Frank comes he will be treated as one of B.P.'s children especially if he is willing to learn a trade. Only teaches from 8-4. Blair is in Texas and pleased with the country there. He is attending to cattle on a 5 year contract. The oldest child, Wm. T., is good looking but it is feared he will give B.P. a lot of trouble. He can spell 2 and 3 letter words and doesn't go to school. Tommy is ugly and not so sprightly but is noble. B.P. is the flower of the flock in looks and generally a good boy who is hard to quiet once he gets started. Robt Hanna is rather large (15 lbs at 14 months) but is sprightly and otherwise healthy. Have 260 acres worth about $15 per acre. Work 5 hands and keep 2 women and a boy at the house. Made 19 bags of cotton last year which was worth about $700. School was worth about $1000. Owe about $3500 due next winter. Owed about $1000 and if this year is as profitable as the last, then they will be able to raise $2500. Expect to sell every negro except 3 and buy a new set. May sell them on credit to get 10% more. Trying to raise grain and stock because cotton is uncertain. May come to Virginia to buy new negroes if he succeeds in selling the ones he has. If this happens he will come and visit Fanny. Corn crop sold at $1 a bushel. Drought has been severe. The corn crop looks well and has begun to shoot. If there is a good rain once a week for the next 4 weeks the crop will be doubled. If this is the case there will be 50,000 bushels within 5 miles of this place. Finished cleaning wheat and made about 90 bushels. Wheat crop generally good with between 20 \u0026 30 bushels to the acre. Thinks they will be able to sell 100 bushels for $1. Usually make enough sugar cane to keep the children and negroes chewing all year, but will hardly make seed this year. Wish Fanny could get agriculture friends to get a 1 or 2 of choice white wheat and send it to him in the mail between now and October. Margaret has gone to visit her Aunt who is in bad health. The boys have gone to Sumterville for preaching. Can't believe he is over 40 when he hardly feels 20. Mobile and Ohio Railroad is coming fast and will be 12 or 15 miles by the end of the year. Building a branch off it to Gainesville which will pass within 2 miles. The railroads will have a considerable effect on the price of land. Land is cheaper here than anywhere else. Added a second floor to his home sand is now a very comfortable dwelling with 8 rooms and a large room for boarders. Wants Brother John's post office address.","Worries that Fanny is unwell and wishes that she comes to visit. Brother Robert said he was going to write Fanny and see her this summer, which it is assumed he has not done. Wonders if Mr. Catlett will be in Richmond this summer, what the baby's name is and why she has not received a lock of hair. Armistead is going to carry Charlie to Alabama to Powell's school. Powell still wants Frank to go to his school.","Brother Robert's Daughter Fanny died on her way home from New York. Brother John has given him trouble. In Frank's last letter he said that his father was sending him to Uncle Powell's in Alabama as soon as he was out of debt. Would like to know how much John owes and Powell would like to know if John would come so they could have a school. If he could be certain that John would come,  he would make arrangements for a larger school the following year. Thinks that Armistead will send Willie and that Anne will send Spot to Powell next year to school especially since the railroad will make it only a 2 day ride from Richmond. Costs $5 to go to Mobile by train. Stayed with a granddaughter of Cousin Tabb in Greensborough. Sally Tabb and Henry said she talked about the family often. Met a lady from Rockbridge County who knew many of the same people Mary C. knew from Prince Edward. One of her daughters married Ben Smith who is now a professor in the Union Seminary. Eye sight is getting worse. Not given up on Mr. Catlett send a daguerreotype of the children.","Trouble with mail service sending and receiving letters. Ill after visit. Mr. Wood wishes to buy a farm in Cumberland but was unable to and so he bought a comfortable residence in another part of town. Uncle Raymond Minor lost his wife just after they moved to Cumberland leaving him with a 2 month old infant which he begged her to take. The child's name is Elvira C. Minor and is just 10 years old. Not sent her or Rose to school except music lessons. Ellie calls her Marmy and Rose calls her sister because that's what she had heard her brother call her all those years. Rose's mother died 4 years ago and her father, 41, married a 21 year old last fall. Health is bad. Mr. Wood is sick as well. M.S. Wood's mother's health is better than it once was but has lost all sight in one eye and is unable to write.","Bettie is one of the finest children and was christened Bettie Burwell. Looking for Brother Joh who is coming to live in Evergreen to work in the bookstore that Brother A bought. Brother R had a stroke. Since Fanny's death he has turned very grey according to Anna. Hear from Powell very often who was visited by Armistead over Christmas. Anne is doing well and Miss Caroline is with her. Brother and Pris went to a masked ball with F and Nanie. They got home before 11.","Moved to Texas where B.P. bought land on the Lavacca River. 260 acres of land with 100 enclosed and 70 in cultivation for $1500. Frank left yesterday. Not able to leave before February or March. Wish to send 1 or 2 Negroes and to hire someone to plant the crops so that profits will not be lost. Only 4 days travel to Indianola.  Frank will live with Blair who is stock raising. Blair will give him $150 a year. Wishes to know the price of good plow boys from ages 12 to 15 and if Mr. Catlett would find some and send them to New Orleans. Hear very rarely from Vicksburg.  Benny is rather puny and has had a fever for a day or two.","Uncle Pow bought a place in Jackson and expects to move there in April. Half dozen neighbors in four miles. Bound to the North by Carancahua River and on the west and south by the bay of the same name. Uncle Blair's land that of deceased Wm Miller, is 5000 acres of land in this tract. 6000 head of cattle. He expects to brand 1200 calves and sell 400 beef cattle this year. Thinks Charley would like to live there with Frank and Blair. Aunt Harriet is a very fine woman. Uncle Robert moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NC. Will send a Texas Almanac.","Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland's plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March.   Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.","Mother died. For the last 8 weeks she was confined to her bed and was basically blind but her mental vigor remained. Monday at half past 9 she died without a struggle. Very few of her children were with her.

Only 12 cows, last year raised 10 heifer calves and 1 steer calf. 5 mares and fillies, 2 buggy horses and 4 mules and 5 yoke of oxen.

One started down the Leona to warn the other settlers but the Indians had hid in the gully and when O Neal passed, 40 rose behind him on G's horses and almost caught him because his horse was broke down and has already run 7 miles. If he had run 50 more yards, then they would have had his scalp. They killed 2 men and mangled a young lady so badly they thought she would die.

He also began a family farm that was approximately 800 acres mostly in Albemarle County with a small portion located in adjoining Louisa County. Campbell grew tobacco, wheat and timber, raised livestock, operated a saw mill and a blacksmithing shop from his farm. Census records and tax statements indicate he was a slave holder. According to the 1820 United States Census, Campbell held six slaves. In 1850 his holdings grew to 26 slaves, both male and female aging from 2 to 65.
