These items are arranged by subject heading in alphabetical order, and the material within the individual files is arranged in chronological order. Much of the information contained in the Collection relates to the activities of various groups that were formed to protest the American involvement in Vietnam, groups representing such disparate segments of the population as the clergy and business executives. While this information manages to give us a good view of the antiwar movement in the United States as both a local and a national phenomenon, the collection is particularly valuable for the information it provides on the work of local groups based in and concerned with the Washington D.C. area, including Northern Virginia.","The copyright and related rights status of this collection have not been evaluated.

Some of the letters are written\n in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n 1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n comes from America. In a letter of January 13, 1730, Henry is\n \"impatient to know what the fate of Europe whether warr or\n Peace everything seems to tend to a Crisis ...,\" possibly\n referring to the trade conflict between England and Spain.","After her husband's death in 1732, Mary (Deane) Latane\n managed the property that came to her and her children, with\n the help of her cousin, \n William Beverley(1698-1756). There are\n several letters, 1733-1750, from Beverley discussing the\n settlement of her husband's estate and the sale of her\n tobacco. In addition, there are business correspondence, bills\n of lading, invoices, and other papers concerning the sale of\n tobacco.","Letters of interest include correspondence of \n Spencer Roane(1762-1822), King and Queen\n County, and \n William Latane(1750-1811), Essex County,\n July 1791-August 1792, concerning the deed and survey for the\n \"Mount Clement Trail of Land,\" and another on July 25, 1804 re\n the suit of Braxton vs Roane; letters on April 19, 1825, June\n 13, 1826, and November 18, 1826, from \n James Montague, \n Harden County, Kentucky, to friends in\n Essex County, concerning various aspects of life in Kentucky\n such as the conflict between anti-relief and relief parties,\n tobacco sales, and prices of corn, flour, cotton, whiskey, et\n al.; one on June 9, 1854, from Rev. \n Henry W.

Watson, Bracketts, chiefly to \n Julia A. Holladay, \n Botetourt County, Virginia, mentioning\n news of family and friends, new dwellings built on Ionia, and\n his being disqualified as a member of the legislature.","Letters pertaining to black history include one of December\n 10, 1772, from \n Samuel Peachey, Jr., \n Occoquan Furnace, to William Latane,\n Essex County, asking him to send a young black at Christmas\n because the latter wants to learn the blacksmith trade; one of\n November 10, 1788, from \n Bartlett Williams, New Kent, to \n William Latane, Essex County, complaining\n about Latane's man Ephraim corrupting his blacks, and\n requesting that he not be permitted to visit his plantation; a\n circular, February 27, 1794, referring to the transportation\n of slaves from Africa to the West-India islands; one of\n February 28, 1809, from S.

Watson, Bracketts, to \n Julia A. Holladay, Botetourt County,\n mentioning the poisoning of some children by a black\n woman.","The business papers are comprised of accounts and\n administrative and estate papers as well as general\n correspondence and papers. The accounts are chiefly for\n members of the Latane and Waring families, and, to a lesser\n extent, for members of the \n Allen familyand \n Temple family.

In addition, there are copies\n of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n families. The wills also contain references to the division of\n blacks among the families.","There are also genealogical, military, and religious\n material. The military papers, 1814-1828, pertain chiefly to\n James Allen's career as captain in the Virginia militia and\n include abstracts of forage, regimental orders, receipt for\n arms, detailed returns of arms accoutrements, and rosters of\n officers and other personnel. Among the miscellaneous papers\n is a small group of material concerning religious matters,\n particularly having to do with \n South Farnham Parishin Essex County.\n Included are a letter, December 17, 1716, from \n Alexander Spotswoodto the vestry of the\n parish re their decision to suspend \n Lewis Latanefrom his ministerial office;\n a hymn book belonging to \n John Latane; and, two letters about the\n weakening of the Church in Virginia.","See the \n \n University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

The Somerville family traces its origins in America to James Somerville (1742-?) who settled in Culpepper County, Virginia after emigrating from Glasgow, Scotland. James Somerville was an influential merchant and became the mayor of Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1787. Members of the Somerville family, as the collection reveals, were also linked to historical figures prominent in the confederate army, including Fletcher Harris Archer. Atwell Somerville (1921-2014), whose life is detailed by a significant portion of the collection, was a member of the 90th Bombardment Group, the \"Jolly Rogers\", of the United States Air Force in World War II from 1942 to 1945. After obtaining a law degree from the University of Virginia after the war, he worked in the law firm of Nottingham and Somerville and participated in various civic and historical organizations in Orange County, Virginia. Atwell Somerville played a significant role in corresponding with family members, particularly Mary Lee Somerville of Culpeper, and genealogists, obtaining many family papers featured in this collection.","The Somerville family papers (1821-2013) consists of correspondence, photographs, printed materials, and extensive genealogical files. The papers and research detailing the history of the Somerville family, mainly in America, range from its colonial background to contemporary times. The extensive genealogical research is comprised of notes and charts, along with correspondence, photographs, military records, personal notes, clippings, and printed materials. The collection also includes records detailing financial history of family assets, including wills, estates, and records of the sale of enslaved laborers and land. Scattered throughout the collection are photographs, negatives, and daguerreotypes of many Somerville family members, as well as some sheet music, and artifacts. Part of the collection also details the backgrounds of other families genealogically related to the Somervilles, such as the Stringfellow and Nottingham families.","The collection contains a Civil War memoir of Fletcher Harris Archer, Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate Army and Mayor of Petersburg, Va. Also present are notes and documents about Archer's service during the Mexican-American War, possibly for a memoir that was never completed. The collection also includes letters of Atwell W. Somerville while a student and cadet at Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina. Other topics include, Atwell Somerville's studies, athletic events, and church services and work. Of note is a letter of 1940 November 12 in which Somerville mentions he has had a recurrence of malaria. Of interest are letters of Atwell W. Somerville during his service in World War II as a member of the 90th bomber squadron (a.k.a. \"The Jolly Rogers\") in the South Pacific. There is also a ledger (1830s) from a store at Racoon Ford, near the Culpeper and Orange counties border.","References:","Somerville, James.

Franklin County, a History. Berryville, Virginia: Chesapeake Book Co., 1964.","George W. Manley descended from a prominent family which owned property near George Washington's Mount Vernon and intermarried with the Washington and Harrison families. The collection also contains letters to Hugh W. Sheffey, who was the Augusta County representative to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850 and to the Virginia General Assembly in 1850s and 1860s.","This collection was minimally reprocessed in April 2017 and renamed Manley Family Papers, a change from the George W. Manley Collection. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 2010.","George W. Manley Collection, 1707-1953, contains about 300 items housed in two boxes and one flat file. The collection is composed largely of two kinds of materials: personal, business, and genealogical papers relating to the Manley family of Augusta County, Virginia and Marion County, formerly of Virginia and later West Virginia; and miscellaneous business and legal papers not directly related to the Manleys that document the functioning of law and government in what is now Franklin County, West Virginia, and Augusta County, Virginia, with scattered references to other Virginia counties and Marion County, West Virginia.","General correspondence comprises Manley family letters, which are genealogical in nature and discuss family connections with the Righter family of West Virginia, the Bigler family, and family land transactions. Eight photographs of family members from Percy Manley's Aunt Jessie in DuPont, Washington, ca.1950s, are also included. Also notable in the collection is a 1933 letter from Percy C. Manley (George's father) to Lauretta K. Muir, an official in the Civil Works Administration, concerning a self-sufficiency homestead project for the poor of Mineral County, West Virginia. Also interesting are a 1774 character reference for a member of Cedar Creek Congregation, a 1777 letter from John Lowning (likely a Revolutionary War soldier), and other letters that offer glimpses of 19th Century life, mostly in Virginia.","Additionally, ten letters written to Hugh W. Sheffey, Augusta County representative to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850 and to the Virginia General Assembly in 1850s and 1860s are included. The relationship between Sheffey and Manley is unclear, but the correspondence is foldered separately due to Sheffey's political position. The transcript of a letter written to Sheffey by Kenton Harper, dated December 16, 1846, is also available in the collection.","Business and legal documents compromise the bulk of the collection and include general documents, court case documents, deeds and indentures, and tax papers. Many of the documents originated in Franklin County, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; some materials are from other Virginia counties, particularly Marion County. The dominant concerns are land and debt.","General documents contain Franklin, Bath, Marion, and Shenandoah County legal and business documents, dating from 1785-1909, such as lists of goods and services rendered, agreements, payment receipts, cancelled checks, and promissory notes. Several of the promissory notes and other interesting items are in a sixteen page account ledger, marked \"Bill of Injuction in Franklin Court, March 1800,\" which itemizes merchandise sold to John Hook by D.W. Thomas Osbourne, 1795-1800, and Dr. George Cunningham's list of visits to the slave-owning J.W. Moore family, 1834-1835. Also included are miscellaneous documents such as the estate of Samuel Beam of Shenandoah County, 1978; marriage licenses/documents (1822: Cyrus Ross to Sarah Righter, 1830: Joseph Stump to Susan Mansen, 1853: George W. Manley to Harriet B. Righter); an 1839 contract for Mary C. Moore for her teaching in Bath County; an 1855 share certificate for the Howardsville and Rockfish Turnpike; and 1880s liquor licenses for George W. Manley at the Continental Hotel in Fairmont.","Court case documents contain judgements, summonses, depositions, complaints, lawsuits, etc., pertaining to Franklin, Augusta, and Marion Counties, 1707-1855. Several summonses carry the note: \"kept off by force of arms.\" Materials include two statements by unwed mothers naming the fathers and declaring need for financial assistance from them (1804, 1805); one summons for illegal slavery (1805); two orders to pay court witnesses (1840); a 1786 Augusta County seal; and several complaints of assault.","The deeds and indentures consist of numerous deeds from Marion County relevant to the Manley and Righter family. Other deeds pertain to Franklin County, with a few from Augusta, Shenandoah, and Hardy Counties. An 1834 land plat dividing Henry Gochenour's land in Hardy County is also present. Materials that are oversized and housed separately include materials such as a 1774 indenture of John Haynes of Bedford County for sale of slaves to William McDonald, deeds and indentures relating to the Saunders family of Franklin County, deeds granting land in Augusta County to John Archer, signed by Lord Dinwiddie (1759), to Gabriel Fox of Hampshire County, England, signed by Lord Fairfax (1780), an 1847 indenture documenting the sale of land in Illinois from Carlos Enos to William Tams, as well as deeds relevant to the Manley Family.","Tax papers include an 1812 list of lands not found in Franklin County after division of the county in 1786, and 1856-1862 Manley family receipts for personal and property taxes in Marion County.","Family memorabilia and genealogical notes consist of three folders relating to the Manley family, including poetry of P.C. Manley and typed excerpts ostensibly from George Washington's diary mentioning Harrison Manley; family memorabilia such as documents and certificates and two small publications, entitled \"The Naval Career of Captain John Manley of Marblehead\" (1909) and \"Hand Book of Pohick Church\" (undated with postcard; Fairfax County); and twelve photographs, seven of which are identified as various Manley family members and taken by various photographers from Fairmont, West Virginia.","Civil War papers consist of a small number of materials related to the Civil War. Documents include an 1863 C.S.A. mail contract, two reports of deserters, documents relating to Peter Righter, including documentation regarding his Presidential pardon (the pardon, which is signed by Andrew Johnson is housed with the oversized materials). Also included are two unsigned, undated notes that may have been from Confederate spies. When the collection was originally recieved in Special Collections, it included an envelope labled \"Trial and hanging of John Righter, Confederate Spy,\" the envelope was empty, and nothing concerning John Righter was found in the collection.","Native American data documents a 1932 excavation of an Indian Mound near Lewis Creek in Augusta County, Virginia, including an anonymous typescript describing the excavation (likely written by Percy Cyrus Manley, who assisted with the excavation), photocopied newspaper clippings, photocopied drawings of relics, and transcript from Augusta County Deed Book No. 22. Six photopraphs of the excavation are housed here also. An undated oversized map entititled \"Indian Tribes of North America,\" and compiled by Driver, Cooper, Kirchhoff, Libby, Massey, and Spier is housed separately.","Miscellaneous Virginia history consists of two folders of material: documents and images. Documents include anonymous notes regarding the Beverley Patent, copies of newspaper clippings regarding stage coaches, and notes regarding stage lines and businesses along stage line routes in Virginia in the 1800s. (An 1870 broadside advertising the sale of stage coach horses in Bath County is housed with oversized materials.) The Images folder includes one poor-quality engraving of the Hotel Altemonte in Staunton, Virginia likely removed from a publication. Also included are eleven postcards of various scenes and structures in Harpers Ferry and Charles Town, West Virginia, particularly of sites relating to the execution of John Brown, the abolitionist who led an unsuccesful slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry in 1859.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collection Library. For more information, contact the Special Collections Library Reference Desk (library-special@jmu.edu).","The Manley Family Papers, 1707-1953, consist of various documents pertaining to the Manley family's personal, genealogical, and business activities, covering several Virginia and West Virginia counties. Included in the collection are letters written by family members and an assortment of legal papers detailing taxes and land deeds.","James Madison University Libraries Special Collections","Manley family","Manley family -- Correspondence","Righter family","Bigler family","McCauley family","Turner, Mary E.","Sheffey, Hugh W.

The first series focuses on the buildings and structures themselves as well as specific features of buildings, and documents details and changes to each location. Series 2 is made up of journal entries, ledgers, and lists that are relevant to different areas on the estate. The last series compiles all reports that aided in the Historic Structures Report, or reports that were built off of the HSR. All series are filed alphabetically by title, then chronologically.\nSeries 1. Buildings\nSeries 2. Journals and Inventories\nSeries 3. Reports","Mount Vernon's Restoration Department is responsible for all maintenance and repairs to every historic structure on the estate. Because of the unique and historic nature of the Mansion and all outbuildings, special expertise in historic building methods and structures is necessary to complete all of the necessary restoration work done to Mount Vernon's historic property. While there has always been staff dedicated to these tasks, the goals and demands of the profession have evolved and increased the need for highly skilled experts in the field of restoration. A structural survey of the Mansion was conducted in 1989 and recommended the completion of a historic structures report before any other major renovations were completed. The architectural firm Mesick-Cohen-Waite was hired to compile this report which was finished in 1993. Extensive historic documentation was necessary to complete the report and these Restoration Files are the final product of that work. Mount Vernon Library staff, restoration staff, and volunteers worked for months to collect this information that was vital for the success of the report. Later studies and reports, dated into the 2000s, were added to these files in order to keep the files up-to-date and complete. According to the 1992 Minutes of the MVLA, the Historic Structures Report is invaluable and \"presents for the first time a comprehensive chronology and various interpretations of the development of the Mansion house. It offers a systematic arrangement of the measured drawings collection, condition reports of all Mansion spaces, hardware analysis, recommended repairs, etc.\"","Original order was kept, however file naming and alphabetical order was \"cleaned-up\" to maintain controlled vocabulary. By request of the Restoration Department no records were discarded.","MVLA Minutes and Annual Reports, MVLA Publications, Measured drawings, photographs, Papers of the MVLA, Bound Volumes of the Superintendent's Letters, Diaries, and Monthly Reports","This collection contains original records and photocopied documentation that was compiled in the early 1990s to provide necessary assistance for the preparation of the Historic Structures Report.
