The land and farming\n         records span several generations over three centuries, but\n         have been divided by generation where appropriate.\n         Consequently, records concerning \"Kinloch\" in Essex County, or\n         \"Sandy Point\" in Charles City County, for instance, will\n         appear under several different headings.

The diaries are bound with copies of\n         David Richardson's Virginia \u0026 Carolina Almanac for the\n         appropriate years. Among his correspondence is one\n         particularly interesting letter from Episcopal clergyman\n         Stephen Higginson Tyng (1800-1855). Waring's accounts cover\n         personal expenses and plantation operations; one account book,\n         1815-1818, appears to concern the operation of a mercantile\n         firm with Bevin Dandridge Pitts (d.1860?). Among the collected\n         land records are materials tracing the title to \"Port Micou,\"\n         (including legal opinions of Benjamin Watkins Leigh and John\n         Tyler [folder 3] and a tract called simply \"William Taylor's\n         Place\" (later \"Cavanaugh's\"), a part of the Port Micou-Kinloch\n         consolidated tract in later years. For a summary of the title\n         histories to Call Number Waring's various tracts see the notes\n         of Richard Baylor in the folder marked \"estate materials\" (Box\n         3)","Robert Payne Waring (d.1838), son of the above, died young,\n         and his father handled many matters regarding his estate.

Again, see correspondence and the\n         appropriate folders in Box 6. Other important correspondents\n         include Thomas Gregory Baylor (1837-1890), U.

Many letters from neighbors and acquaintances concern\n         the purchase and welfare of Negro slaves; these are\n         supplemented by a folder in Box 6 covering slave\n         purchases.","Materials of the Old Dominion Steamboat Company, in which\n         Baylor was a stockholder, include correspondence of officers\n         with Baylor, stock certificates, reports, and other records.\n         Materials concerning agricultural societies include an address\n         by Richard Baylor as president of one such local unit (the\n         Agricultural Society of Essex County?) and membership\n         certificates for himself and family in the Virginia State\n         Agricultural Society. Box 6 also includes a photocopy of the\n         St. Anne's Parish vestry minute book, 1787-1857, kept in part\n         by Baylor as secretary.
