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. 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 papers also include genealogy charts of the family.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

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.

She also graduated from Virginia Tech and worked for Virginia Tech University Libraries.","External source: \"Dorothy Heavener Bodell,\" Findagrave.com, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26222420/dorothy-heavener-bodell","The Montgomery White Sulphur Springs resort, located in Ellett Valley (near Blacksburg), Virginia, was incorporated by a group of local businessmen in 1855. Benefiting from the popular belief in the restorative powers of mineral waters, the Montgomery White catered to a new leisure class seeking healthy and entertaining distractions. In doing so, the resort joined such other nearby establishments as the Greenbrier White, Old Sweet, and Yellow Sulphur springs. The Montgomery White, encompassing several acres of land, boasted a three-story hotel with more than 200 rooms and more than 30 cottages on the grounds.","During the American Civil War, in 1862, the resort was designated a Confederate general hospital, charged with caring for sick and wounded soldiers. By the end of the summer, the hospital was at capacity, with more than 400 patients. While there is no complete list of those who died in the hospital, the nearby cemetery is said to hold 265 graves.","Following the war and much renovation, the Montgomery White again opened to the public and became a popular summertime destination. In 1872, the resort hosted the first board meeting of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, and in 1874, Jefferson Davis visited for the Southern Historical Society's organizational meeting.","By 1886, George W. Fagg \u0026 Company operated the resort, which continued to be a successful enterprise for some years. By the 1890s, however, the Montgomery White and other such resorts were slowly declining in popularity. The economic panic of 1893, together with undocumented instances of fire and flood, may have accelerated the resort's downfall. The Montgomery White property was sold by auction and the remaining structures dismantled in 1904.","Source: Bodell, Dorothy.

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).","William H.
