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.

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).

All Jefferson items in the possession of\n the University of Virginia Library are now included; new entries are added as additional\n Jefferson items are acquired by the Library.","The Calendar contains entries for all letters and\n documents in our collections written by or to Jefferson; letters docketed by Jefferson;\n 19th century copies of Jefferson letters transcribed by family members; photomechanical\n reproductions of some privately-held Jefferson letters, and of some Jefferson letters in\n other institutions (most notably the correspondence with Tadeusz Kosciuszko in the\n National Museum of Krakow, Poland), which are inaccessible to most researchers; and the\n Peter Jefferson documents held by the Library.","In updating the Calendar we retained the basic format of\n the earlier printed versions. A typical entry consists of the name of the writer, the\n place from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter\n is directed, followed by the date of manuscript. This is followed by a brief physical\n description of the manuscript (e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages)\n and, for entries made between 1950 and 1973, information about the location of other\n copies and citations to printed versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries\n for materials acquired since 1970 with notes on the location of other copies or\n additional citations of printed versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library\n collection of which the manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are\n also included. The entry concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries\n from the 1950 and 1973 editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for\n purposes of indexing.","We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word \"slave\" replaces the\n word \"servant\" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a\n slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label \"photostat.\"\n Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings is\n listed individually with the corresponding \"Nichols number\" taken from Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings / compiled and with\n commentary and a check list by Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville\n : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, 1988, c1995.)","For more details about the original compilation of the Calendar, please see the Introduction to the\n 1950 Edition, below.","Edward Gaynor Ann L. S. Southwell March 2004","Introduction to the 1950 Edition","In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I\n have freely made use of many people's work. Daily reference has been made to our\n Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n publication in the Papers.","The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n 10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n cases are the only known texts.","Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n manuscript or order a photographic copy.","Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n hand, either contemporary or later.","The final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n in printing.","Special attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the Calendar of\n Letters from Jefferson,in the Bulletin of the Bureau\n of Rolls and Library of the Department of State,No. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the Calendarwhich appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n unless otherwise stated.","Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n the provision of explanatory comment.","All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n by the owner.","It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n expression, \"19th century copy\".","Omitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n 1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.","One conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.","To the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication. The courtesy and patience of the\n Administrator and of the members of the Council in connection with our unavoidable\n delays in printing are particularly appreciated.","If this work had a dedication, it would be to Harry Clemons, who brought the Manuscript\n Division into being, whose faith has a way of moving mountains, and to whom all of the\n daily tasks of our staff are truly dedicated by our admiration and affection.","University of Virginia 1 October 1949 Francis L. Berkeley.","A separate finding aid was created to reflect the arrangment of the architectural drawings and \n other oversized materials in order to provide easier access to them. You can access the finding aid here.","Copyright has not been evaluated for the items in this collection.

Daily reference has been made to our\n Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n publication in the Papers.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eThe typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n 10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n cases are the only known texts.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eResearchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n manuscript or order a photographic copy.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eEach entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n hand, either contemporary or later.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eThe final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n in printing.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"doublequote\" href=\"\"\u003eCalendar of\n Letters from Jefferson,\u003c/title\u003ein the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eBulletin of the Bureau\n of Rolls and Library of the Department of State,\u003c/title\u003eNo. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"doublequote\" href=\"\"\u003eCalendar\u003c/title\u003ewhich appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n to Jefferson) of the Bulletin.

All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n unless otherwise stated.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eDocketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n the provision of explanatory comment.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eAll manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n by the owner.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eIt will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n expression, \"19th century copy\".\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eOmitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n 1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eOne conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eTo the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication.

This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition.

These papers, mainly\n correspondence and some related legal material, concern four\n cases of estate settlement and other fiscal litigation handled\n by Withers and Prentis, the Suffolk law firm in which \n Robert R. Prentis was a partner. The\n series dates from 1812 to 1887. \n Robert R. Prentis (born 11 April 1818) was\n the son of Joseph Prentis, Jr., who served as clerk\n of the Circuit and County Courts for Suffolk, and surveyor and inspector of\n the port of Suffolk, and Susan Caroline Riddick. \n Robert R.

Webb was the son of \n Robert S. Webb and Margaret Susan (Prentis) Webb, the sister\n of \n Robert R. Prentis. He was born in \n Suffolk on 30 October 1843, and served in\n the \n 13th Virginia Cavalry with the \n Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 to\n 1865, during which time he wrote the diary referred to\n earlier. Immediately after the war he started a drug company\n in Suffolk, and later expanded the business\n to include paints, building supplies, books, stationery, and a\n variety of other goods. He served as treasurer of the board of\n vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in \n Suffolk, a vice-president of the \n Suffolk Y.M.C.A., and was treasurer of\n the \n Suffolk Street Railway Company (formerly\n the \n Suffolk Street Car Company).","Webb's papers, dating from 1838 to 1892, are financial and\n legal records from his various business and service\n activities. In addition to receipts, accounts, and\n correspondence relating to his building supply contracts and\n store, there are deeds, bonds, and other legal records of\n property ownership, tax and license receipts, pension records,\n receipts of dues paid the Knights of Huron, and records from Webb's other activities as listed above. Webb's papers extend to\n within two months of his death on 27 December 1892.","In 1885, a fire swept through Suffolk, destroying not only \n Joseph P. Webb's store but the business of Darden and Eley. This dry goods and\n hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n Joseph Prentis Webb. Following the fire\n the two businesses cooperated in building a new store on\n Washington Square in Suffolk to house them both. \n Robert S. Eleydied in 1886, and the\n business was carried on by \n A. S. Darden who continued to build and\n expand it in cooperation with Webb, and to divide the profits\n from the business with \n Eliza P. Eley (possibly the former \n Eliza Jaekson (Prentis) Vickery), the\n widow of \n R. S. Eley.","The records of the business of \n Darden and Eley form the last major series\n in this collection. These papers, which date from 1867 to\n 1905, consist mainly of deeds, receipts, and accounts, and\n chronicle the changes the business went through as a result of\n the events related above. They include: store receipts of \n Darden and Eley; deeds made by Darden,\n Webb, Eley, and others; tax receipts; accounts from the\n settlement of the estate of \n R. S. Eley; and receipts and invoices\n from the building of the new store.","The remainder of the collection is comprised of ledgers,\n oversize materials, and Bible records.

He served as treasurer of the board of\n vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in \n Suffolk, a vice-president of the \n Suffolk Y.M.C.A., and was treasurer of\n the \n Suffolk Street Railway Company (formerly\n the \n Suffolk Street Car Company).","Webb's papers, dating from 1838 to 1892, are financial and\n legal records from his various business and service\n activities. In addition to receipts, accounts, and\n correspondence relating to his building supply contracts and\n store, there are deeds, bonds, and other legal records of\n property ownership, tax and license receipts, pension records,\n receipts of dues paid the Knights of Huron, and records from Webb's other activities as listed above. Webb's papers extend to\n within two months of his death on 27 December 1892.","In 1885, a fire swept through Suffolk, destroying not only \n Joseph P. Webb's store but the business of Darden and Eley. This dry goods and\n hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n Joseph Prentis Webb.

The collection\n spans the years 1735 to 1942, but the bulk of the papers date\n from ca. 1850 to 1890. Most of the papers relate to members of\n the above families who lived in uffolk, with only a few papers\n pertaining to the branch of the Prentis familywhich resided in \n Williamsburg.","The personal papers in this collection consist of scattered\n correspondence, financial papers, miscellaneous manuscripts,\n memorabilia and printed material. The correspondence dates\n from 1823 to 1939, and for the most part is made up of\n invitations and calling cards received by members of the above\n families.","The financial papers date from 1735 to 1887, and consist of\n 18th century tax receipts from land owned in Virginia, probably by the \n Prentis family in Williamsburg; bills of exchange, bonds,\n and bills of lading belonging to William Prentis, John Prentis, and Robert Prentis; and miscellaneous\n financial papers of various members of the above families.","The miscellaneous manuscripts date from 1771 to 1888, with much of the material undated. These papers consist of poems,\n quotations from books, songs, memoranda of children's birth\n dates, lists of subscribers, compositions, gardening notes,\n recipes, and other assorted papers. Of particular interest in\n this section is the photocopy of a Civil War diary kept by \n Joseph Prentis Webb, ca. 1862 to 1863.","The memorabilia is for the most part undated and\n unidentified, and consists of such items as paper dolls,\n silhouettes, and locks of hair. There is also a photograph of \n \"Rose Hill,\" an early home of the \n Allen family in \n Suffolk. The printed material dates from\n 1774 to 1942, and is comprised of newspaper clippings,\n programs, and advertisements. Of particular interest for local\n history relating to this collection is a Sketch Book of \n Suffolk, Virginia, dating from ca.\n 1886.","The professional papers of \n Robert Riddick Prentis comprise the next\n main series in this collection. These papers, mainly\n correspondence and some related legal material, concern four\n cases of estate settlement and other fiscal litigation handled\n by Withers and Prentis, the Suffolk law firm in which \n Robert R. Prentis was a partner. The\n series dates from 1812 to 1887. \n Robert R. Prentis (born 11 April 1818) was\n the son of Joseph Prentis, Jr., who served as clerk\n of the Circuit and County Courts for Suffolk, and surveyor and inspector of\n the port of Suffolk, and Susan Caroline Riddick. \n Robert R. Prentis served as mayor of Suffolk from 1883 to 1885, and practiced\n as an attorney in the courts of Nansemond, Isle of Wight and \n Southhampton counties, and the \n United States District Court at \n Norfolk.","A major portion of this collection consists of the\n financial papers of Joseph Prentis Webb. Webb was the son of \n Robert S. Webb and Margaret Susan (Prentis) Webb, the sister\n of \n Robert R. Prentis. He was born in \n Suffolk on 30 October 1843, and served in\n the \n 13th Virginia Cavalry with the \n Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 to\n 1865, during which time he wrote the diary referred to\n earlier. Immediately after the war he started a drug company\n in Suffolk, and later expanded the business\n to include paints, building supplies, books, stationery, and a\n variety of other goods. He served as treasurer of the board of\n vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in \n Suffolk, a vice-president of the \n Suffolk Y.M.C.A., and was treasurer of\n the \n Suffolk Street Railway Company (formerly\n the \n Suffolk Street Car Company).","Webb's papers, dating from 1838 to 1892, are financial and\n legal records from his various business and service\n activities. In addition to receipts, accounts, and\n correspondence relating to his building supply contracts and\n store, there are deeds, bonds, and other legal records of\n property ownership, tax and license receipts, pension records,\n receipts of dues paid the Knights of Huron, and records from Webb's other activities as listed above. Webb's papers extend to\n within two months of his death on 27 December 1892.","In 1885, a fire swept through Suffolk, destroying not only \n Joseph P. Webb's store but the business of Darden and Eley. This dry goods and\n hardware store was established in 1866 by Robert Seth Eley and Algernon Sidney Darden, president of the \n Commercial Bank of Suffolk, whose daughter, \n Annie Jordan Darden, in 1881 had married \n Joseph Prentis Webb. Following the fire\n the two businesses cooperated in building a new store on\n Washington Square in Suffolk to house them both. \n Robert S. Eleydied in 1886, and the\n business was carried on by \n A. S. Darden who continued to build and\n expand it in cooperation with Webb, and to divide the profits\n from the business with \n Eliza P. Eley (possibly the former \n Eliza Jaekson (Prentis) Vickery), the\n widow of \n R. S. Eley.","The records of the business of \n Darden and Eley form the last major series\n in this collection. These papers, which date from 1867 to\n 1905, consist mainly of deeds, receipts, and accounts, and\n chronicle the changes the business went through as a result of\n the events related above. They include: store receipts of \n Darden and Eley; deeds made by Darden,\n Webb, Eley, and others; tax receipts; accounts from the\n settlement of the estate of \n R. S. Eley; and receipts and invoices\n from the building of the new store.","The remainder of the collection is comprised of ledgers,\n oversize materials, and Bible records. The ledgers and\n oversize items are listed at the end of this guide. The\n ledgers date from 1733 to 1907, and include court memoranda\n books of \n Joseph Prentis and an 18th century \n Robert Prentis, various financial ledgers\n and cashbooks, commonplace books, a diary of \n Joseph P. Webb, and some pastoral\n notebooks of the Reverend \n James Murray. Papers formerly inserted in\n the ledgers and photocopies made of fragile material in the\n ledgers can also be found in this section. The oversize\n material consists of six scattered items pulled from various\n parts of the collection. The Bible records are electrostatic\n copies of pages in Bibles of the \n Allen family, the Darden- Allen- Webb-Prentis family, and the \n Prentis-Riddick-Webb family, and they are filed in the Bible\n transcripts tray in the Reading Room. The originals were\n returned to the owners."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNo copies of the Civil War diary of Joseph Prentis Webb may be made without written permission of owner of original diary.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eSee the \n \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.library.virginia.edu/policies/use-of-materials\"\u003e\n University of Virginia Library’s use policy.\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n "],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions"],"userestrict_tesim":["No copies of the Civil War diary of Joseph Prentis Webb may be made without written permission of owner of original diary.","See the \n \n University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc\u003e\u003c/physloc\u003e\n "],"language_ssim":["English"],"total_component_count_is":84,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-08-14T22:55:49.050Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_viu00298_c05_c01"}},{"id":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09","type":"Item","attributes":{"title":"Legal cases and estates: York County, 1722/1834","abstract_or_scope":{"id":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09#abstract_or_scope","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":"\u003cp\u003ePresson (Thomas) estate. 1 memo.\u003c/p\u003e","label":"Abstract Or Scope"}},"breadcrumbs":{"id":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09#breadcrumbs","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":{"ref_ssi":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09","ref_ssm":["viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09"],"id":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268_c09","ead_ssi":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549","_root_":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549","_nest_parent_":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268","parent_ssi":"viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268","parent_ssim":["Southall Papers, 1807/1904","Series 1: Southall Papers","Legal cases and estates: York County"],"parent_ids_ssim":["viw_repositories_2_resources_9549","viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01","viw_repositories_2_resources_9549_c01_c268"],"title_filing_ssi":"Legal cases and estates: York County","title_ssm":["Legal cases and estates: York County"],"title_tesim":["Legal cases and estates: York County"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Legal cases and estates: York County, 1722/1834"],"text":["Legal cases and estates: York County, 1722/1834","Southall Papers, 1807/1904","Series 1: Southall Papers","Legal cases and estates: York County","Box 66","Folder 281","Presson (Thomas) estate. 1 memo."],"parent_unittitles_ssm":["Southall Papers, 1807/1904","Series 1: Southall Papers","Legal cases and estates: York County"],"parent_unittitles_tesim":["Southall Papers, 1807/1904","Series 1: Southall Papers","Legal cases and estates: York County"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1722/1834"],"unitdate_inclusive_ssm":["1722-1834"],"level_ssm":["Item"],"level_ssim":["Item"],"component_level_isim":[3],"sort_isi":5208,"repository_ssim":["College of William and Mary"],"collection_ssim":["Southall Papers, 1807/1904"],"containers_ssim":["Box 66","Folder 281"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"child_component_count_isi":0,"parent_access_restrict_tesm":["Collection is open to all researchers.

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.

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).
