Joseph Dickson (1749-1822) settled in what is now Greenbrier County, West Virginia, from Ireland by way of Pennsylvania in the 1770s. He received land grants originally from the King's land office in 1769, and later from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1785, 1789, and 1795 for property on Howard's Creek. His son, Robert Dickson (1795-1869?), inherited the land and built Locust Hill in 1833, now called Mountain Home. Robert Renick Dickson (1827-1888) and Henry Frazier Dickson (1841-1909), Robert Dickson's sons, inherited the land and in turn left it to their heirs. The Dicksons turned Mountain Home near White Sulphur Springs into a resort in the 1800s and early 1900s. The property and home were owned by the family until they were sold in 1968.","The guide to the Dickson Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Dickson Family Papers was completed prior to 2001.","The papers consist largely of land, property, and goods transaction receipts and documents of each of the four generations of the Dickson Family, who originally settled in what is now Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in the 1770s.

Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him.

Certificates, oaths, correspondence, deeds, and a diary are included in Joseph Dickson's papers, along with several sale documents for enslaved people from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Much of the land and goods and many of the enslaved people were exchanged with neighbors and others in the area. Most of Joseph Dickson's documents are individually described in this inventory. The papers of John Dickson (1737-1809, brother of Joseph Dickson), Robert Dickson, Robert Renick Dickson and Henry Frazier Dickson, and Geraldine Dickson Burrow (1879-1943, daughter of Henry Frazier Dickson), are grouped by type of material (for example, financial accounts, correspondence, and land deeds). Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him.

Joseph Dickson (1749-1822) settled in what is now Greenbrier County, West Virginia, from Ireland by way of Pennsylvania in the 1770s. He received land grants originally from the King's land office in 1769, and later from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1785, 1789, and 1795 for property on Howard's Creek. His son, Robert Dickson (1795-1869?), inherited the land and built Locust Hill in 1833, now called Mountain Home. Robert Renick Dickson (1827-1888) and Henry Frazier Dickson (1841-1909), Robert Dickson's sons, inherited the land and in turn left it to their heirs. The Dicksons turned Mountain Home near White Sulphur Springs into a resort in the 1800s and early 1900s. The property and home were owned by the family until they were sold in 1968.","The guide to the Dickson Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Dickson Family Papers was completed prior to 2001.","The papers consist largely of land, property, and goods transaction receipts and documents of each of the four generations of the Dickson Family, who originally settled in what is now Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in the 1770s.

Much of the land and goods and many of the enslaved people were exchanged with neighbors and others in the area. Most of Joseph Dickson's documents are individually described in this inventory. The papers of John Dickson (1737-1809, brother of Joseph Dickson), Robert Dickson, Robert Renick Dickson and Henry Frazier Dickson, and Geraldine Dickson Burrow (1879-1943, daughter of Henry Frazier Dickson), are grouped by type of material (for example, financial accounts, correspondence, and land deeds). Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him. The papers also include genealogy charts of the family.","Certificate asserting that Joseph Dickson was received in his parish and \"has behaved himself in a Verry prudent and exemplary manner,\" signed by M.

Certificates, oaths, correspondence, deeds, and a diary are included in Joseph Dickson's papers, along with several sale documents for enslaved people from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Much of the land and goods and many of the enslaved people were exchanged with neighbors and others in the area. Most of Joseph Dickson's documents are individually described in this inventory. The papers of John Dickson (1737-1809, brother of Joseph Dickson), Robert Dickson, Robert Renick Dickson and Henry Frazier Dickson, and Geraldine Dickson Burrow (1879-1943, daughter of Henry Frazier Dickson), are grouped by type of material (for example, financial accounts, correspondence, and land deeds). Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him.

The largest set of letters within the collection is comprised of the wartime letters of William H. Earhart, serving in Company B, 30th Virginia Sharpshooters Battalion, nearly all of these being addressed to wife Nancy Earhart. Also included are letters from Confederate soldiers James L. Cassell (51st Virginia Infantry), David Earhart (4th Virginia Infantry), and Thomas Johnson. Also included are several wartime letters from extended family members, relaying news of family and friends, as well as war news. Other letters within the series were written by family members who settled in Missouri and Texas and provide family news and discussions of local conditions and affairs. The series also includes a typed transcript of a letter from Samuel and Jane Shannon of Davidson County, North Carolina (now Tennessee), discussing road construction, conflicts with Native Americans, land transactions, and crop conditions.  ","Series II, Financial/Legal Papers: This series includes several deeds for properties held by the Earhart family, including land in Missouri. The series also includes receipts issued by local tax collectors and merchants to John Grayson, Lawrence Earhart, Nancy Earhart, and William H. Earhart. Arranged by document type, then alphabetically by recipient. ","Series III, Photographs: Included in this small collection are four photographs: a studio portrait of Virginia Earhart Boykin, two snapshots likely of James Warren Earhart II (one with an older woman, possibly his mother) in military uniform; and a wedding photo identified on the reverse side as \"J. W. E. III\" (probably James Warren Earhart III). ","Nancy Elvira Williams Earhart was born in Virginia on November 7, 1838. She married William H. Earhart, son of George and Nancy Taylor Earhart, who was born in Montgomery County, Virginia, on June 10, 1828. The Earharts resided at various times in the counties of Carroll, Montgomery, and Pulaski, Virginia. They had eight children: Lawrence (1860-1950), Mary (1862-1884), George Lee (1866-1906), Alexander (1868-1896), Lula (1870-1922), William (1872-1933), James (1874-1938), and Ada (1876-1890). During the Civil War, on May 23, 1863, William Earhart enlisted with the Confederate Army in Pulaski, Virginia, and served in Company B, 30th Battalion, Virginia Sharpshooters. He was taken prisoner on September 19, 1864, and was confined at Camp Chase, Ohio, and then sent to New Orleans, Louisiana, before being released. William H. Earhart died in Pulaski County, Virginia, on April 20, 1881; Nancy E. Earhart died in Montgomery County on February 6, 1918. Both were buried in Earhart Family Cemetery at Ellett (Montgomery County).","Nancy and William's youngest son James Warren Earhart (1874-1938) married Sallie Virginia Hays (1876-1972). The couple had several children, including Virginia Earhart Boykin (1907-1999), who married Edward Carrington Venable Boykin in 1961; and James Warren Earhart, Jr. (1909-2000), who married  Lucy Payne Waddell Earhart (1911-1985).

","The subjects of the letters range quite widely, but many have to do with financial matters, including various debts, loans, notes, and Bank of Virginia stock certificates.

In 1748, she moved with her parents to Southwest Virginia, where Mary married William Ingles (born in London, 1729) in 1750. The Draper and Ingles families together established the first English-speaking settlement west of the Alleghanies at Draper's Meadow (predecessor to today's Blacksburg).","In July 1755, Mary Draper Ingles, her sons George and Thomas, her sister-in-law Betty Draper and others were captured during a Shawnee raid and were led up the New River and into present-day Kentucky. Eventually, Mary escaped, and her 850-mile trek back to her home has been documented in a number of published sources and a dramatic interpretation.","After her return, Mary and her husband William lived in Bedford County for several years but eventually returned to Montgomery County. At a location within the bounds of present-day Radford, Virginia, they established Ingles Ferry, which eventually grew to include a tavern, general store and blacksmith shop. Mary would give birth to four more children (John, Mary, Susan and Rhoda) before her husband died in 1782. Mary died in 1815.","The guide to the Ingles Family Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement and description of the Ingles Family Collection was completed in Summer 2002.","The Ingles Family Collection contains a ledger from the Ferry Hill store with entries dated between 1797 and 1804, and three of six volumes of the Ingles family Bible (published by Samuel T.
