These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n pertaining to the sojourn of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n England prior to and during the\n Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n Colonel \n John Baylor's son at school in \n Caius College, \n Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n intentions of returning to the \n United States (December 28, 1770); the\n advice of \n William Bond, a former teacher of \n John Baylor, for him to seek further\n educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n William Bond's request for \n John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n and to visit \n England (May 4, 1778); \n John Baylor's trip to \n England to wed his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n the Baylor's leaving \n England, and comments concerning the\n fashions and decadence of \n England (May 4, 1779).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

Included are samples from Mexcio, Guatemala, and Peru. The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil.

","Lucy Elizabeth Prichard (October 26, 1876 - July 29, 1964) was born in Cattlettsburg, Kentucky. Daughter of Robert H. and Mary Prichard, she had a brother, Karl, and a sister-in-law, Elizabeth. Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for Atlantic Monthly .","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the Nicholas County News Leader (originally News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the Nicholas County News Leader combined with Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly West Virginia Hillbilly with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the Hillbilly in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the Hillbilly . In 1992, he sold the Hillbilly to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the Hillbilly ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy , a 50-volume West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia , and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled Best of Hillbilly . He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the West Virginia Hillbilly and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772).

There is a group of letters between \n John Baylor, \n John Frere, and \n John Baylor's former teacher in \n England, \n William Bond, concerning education for\n his two sons, \n John Baylor and \n George Daniel Baylor.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n England, at the \n Putney Grammer School and \n Caius College, \n Cambridge. While in \n England, he developed a keen interest\n in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n name his new home, \" \n Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n the development of American thoroughbreds. \n John Baylor also rendered public\n service to the newly formed county of \n Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n War. \n John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n live in \n Europe until they could obtain a return\n passage to \n America. \n George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n of the \n Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n 1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n General \n George Washington. He was commanding\n officer of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n the \n First Continental Dragoons on November\n 9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n Brigadier General. \n Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n and captain of the \n 3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n Revolution. He along with his other brother \n Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n Revolution, immigrated to \n Kentucky. Later \n Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n a member of the \n United States Coast and Geodetic\n Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n from family members, friends, and business associates of\n all the above generations of the \n Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n pertaining to the sojourn of \n John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n England prior to and during the\n Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n Colonel \n John Baylor's son at school in \n Caius College, \n Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n intentions of returning to the \n United States (December 28, 1770); the\n advice of \n William Bond, a former teacher of \n John Baylor, for him to seek further\n educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n William Bond's request for \n John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n and to visit \n England (May 4, 1778); \n John Baylor's trip to \n England to wed his cousin, \n Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n the Baylor's leaving \n England, and comments concerning the\n fashions and decadence of \n England (May 4, 1779). Correspondence concerning events leading up to and\n including the Revolutionary War includes: \n Sam Waterman's support of the Stamp\n Act repeal and the danger of shipping livestock from \n London to \n John Baylor (March 6, 1766); a Mr.\n Grand's letter refusing to advise \n John Baylor due to threat of prison\n (March 28, [1772]): copies of \n Committee of Correspondence letters to \n John Norton asking him to keep them\n informed regarding events in \n England and Acts of \n Parliament and his reply (April 6,\n \u0026 July 6, 1773); a recommendation for the Baron of\n [Bonstetten] who served in the Danish and Prussian Wars\n (September 27,1777); \n John Baylor as a prisoner aboard a\n British ship, Thomas [Thortican], possibly due to suspicion\n that he was reportedly carrying a treaty between \n France and the \n United States (February 5, 1778); the\n birth of Colonel \n George Baylor's son (May 6, 1779); \n Walker Baylor asking his brother to\n send him some money to cover his expenses incurred in\n fighting in the Revolution (August 13, 1779); a statement\n of \n Edmund Pendleton, the Chairman of the \n Caroline Committee of Correspondence,\n regarding the loyalty of \n John Baylor to the colonial cause,\n relating that \n John Baylor supported the actions of\n the Americans at \n Lexington, and returned to \n England only to marry (October 13,\n 1779); the statement of \n George Baylor regarding the loyalty of\n his brother evidenced by his opinion of events at \n Lexington, and his recommendation of\n Baron de Wolfen in the service of the \n American Army, and concluding with the\n explanation that \n John Baylor did not fight due to a\n physical infirmity acquired in his youth (October 14,1779);\n John Wormeley requests \n John Baylor to use his influence to\n give him an escort to visit his father in \n Virginia (August 16, 1782); and a\n request for \n George Baylor to help recover money\n form one of the officers of his regiment for Mr. Alexander\n (September 3, 1783). Other subjects of note include: the tobacco growing and\n export business (May 8, 1741; March 6, 1766; August 12,\n 1769; February 5, 1778; June 29, 1788; March 10, 1789; June\n 6, 1789; March 15, 1793; \u0026 February 5, 1790); iron and\n forge business (October 11, 1771; \u0026 April 13, 1774);\n horses and horse breeding (\"Sober John\"-October25, 1754;\n \"Fearnought\"-March 21, 1771; October 30, 1756; March 6,\n 1766; and July 17, 1800); and a discussion about whether\n the Spanish will allow free trade up the \n Mississippi River and \n Ohio River ([December 4], 1783). Several letters mention slaves and slavery. Among these\n are: slaves for sale (April 14, 1770; March 21, 1771;\n September 14, 1771; \u0026 June 19, 1811); mention of slave\n passes, a slave detained on the road for lack of one, and a\n visit of slaves with the family in \n Gloucester County, Virginia (July 12,\n 1813); the prices of slaves in the \n Pearl River area of the \n Mississippi Territory and prices of\n hire (November 28, 1816); and a letter from a Quaker, \n George Boone, of \n Berks County, Pennsylvania, attempting\n to verify that \n James Martin, a black man who claimed\n to have been born to free parents and wrongly sold as part\n of Colonel \n John Baylor's estate, was indeed a\n free black and not legally owned by \n Thomas Adams of \n Orange County, Virginia (August 12,\n 1818).
