He was appointed to West\n Point in 1831 by President Jackson; after his graduation in\n 1835 he received a lieutenancy in the army in time to serve in\n the Seminole War. The following year he resigned his\n commission in order to study law at Transylvania University.\n He settled in St. Louis, Missouri in 1837 and began practicing\n law; he was appointed U. S. district attorney for Missouri but\n removed for political reasons by President Tyler. He served as\n mayor of St. Louis, 1842-1843, and as judge of the court of\n common pleas, 1845-1849. He resigned in 1849 to resume his law\n practice, and in 1852 moved to Maryland where he practiced law\n chiefly before the Supreme Court of the United States. In\n 1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n Harper's Ferry incident. He was appointed postmaster general\n in 1861 by President Lincoln, and while in office, organized\n the postal system for the army, introduced compulsory payment\n of postage and free delivery in cities, improved the registry\n system, established the railway post office, organized the\n postal draft plan, stopped the franking privileges of\n postmasters, and was instrumental in bringing about the Postal\n Union Convention at Paris in 1863. After resigning from\n Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933. He graduated\n Phillips Exeter Academy, and Harvard University, 1874, and its\n law school, 1876. He practiced law in his father's office in\n Washington, D.C.; was counsel for Citizens' National Bank of\n Washington; trust officer and vice-president of National\n Savings and Trust Company; director in Columbia Title\n Insurance Company, Washington Railway and Electric Company,\n Potomac Electric Company, and Norfolk and Washington Steamboat\n Company; and, president of the Metropolitan Club. He was also\n president of the Central dispensary and emergency hospital of\n Washington, which he developed from a small building to an\n institution of nearly a block, with 280 beds, 300 employees,\n modern nurses' home, new interns' home, x-ray laboratory, and\n out-patient and emergency departments. He was married to the\n former Emily N. Wallach.","Francis Preston Blair, lawyer and army officer, was born in\n Lexington, Kentucky, on February 10, 1821, and died in St.\n Louis, Missouri, in July 1875. After graduating from Princeton\n University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n Louis. When the Mexican War began he enlisted in the army as a\n private; following the war he returned to his practice in St.\n Louis. He was elected to congress, and in 1857, spoke in favor\n of colonizing the negroes of the United States in Central\n America. Following the South Carolina secession convention, he\n stressed the importance in preventing the seizure by state\n authorities of the St. Louis arsenal, and became the head of\n the military organization then formed, which occasionally\n guarded the arsenal. As brigadier-general in the army, he\n commanded a division in the Vicksburg campaign, led his troops\n in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and\n was at the head of the 17th corps during Sherman's campaigns\n in 1864-1865.

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.\n 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.\n 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 \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 \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.\n 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.\n 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).

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.\n 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.\n 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 \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 \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.\n 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.\n 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).\n 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).\n 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).\n Several letters mention slaves and slavery.
