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.

These papers are\n         helpful in determining ownership of lands held by the Latane\n         Family, \n         Roane Family, \n         Allen Family, and \n         Dix 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.

He was trained in medicine, and on September 25, 1729,\n         received his commission as surgeon in the \n          Royal Regiment of North British Dragoons (Scots Greys). In July, 1735, he purchased\n         a cornetcy in a troop of the Regiment. With faithful service\n         in the \n          Scots Greys during the War of Austrian\n         Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of\n         lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that\n         rank in the Army in December, 1745). In Februaryruary, 1757, Forbes\n         was given the colonelcy of the \n          17th Foot and shortly thereafter departed\n         for \n          North America, where he served the Earl\n         of Loudoun as adjutant general.","Forbes was made a brigadier by \n          William Pitt in December, 1757, with the\n         responsibility of directing a campaign in 1758 the objective\n         of which was the capture of \n          Fort Duquesne and the clearing of the\n         French from the \n          Ohio River Valley. He proceeded to \n          Philadelphia in April, 1758, to assume\n         direct command of operations and planning for the expedition.\n         After months of building a new road through the wilderness and\n         rugged terrain of western \n          Pennsylvania, of building forts along the\n         way to hold territory and protect his army and its supply\n         posts, \n          Fort Duquesne was finally taken on\n         November 25th, after the French had evacuated and blown it up.\n         General Forbes was a very sick man during the campaign and he\n         died in \n          Philadelphia on March 11, 1759, and was\n         buried there in the chancel of \n          Christ Church.","Forbes' commission as surgeon to the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons (Scots Greys).","Forbes' commission as cornet in the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons (Scots Greys).","Forbes' commission as lieutenant in the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons ( \n                Scots Greys).","Forbes' commission as captain in the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons (Scots Greys).","Forbes' commission as deputy quartermaster general\n               with the rank of lieutenant-colonel in the army.","Forbes' commission as major in the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons (Scots Greys).","Forbes' commission as lieutenant-colonel of the \n                Royal Regiment of North British\n               Dragoons (Scots Greys).","About one-half of the volume is devoted to\n               correspondence concerning the Expedition against \n                Fort Duquesne under the command of\n               Major General \n                Edward Braddock.

and \n          Elizabeth Graham, was probably born in\n         1707. He was trained in medicine, and on September 25, 1729,\n         received his commission as surgeon in the \n          Royal Regiment of North British Dragoons (Scots Greys). In July, 1735, he purchased\n         a cornetcy in a troop of the Regiment. With faithful service\n         in the \n          Scots Greys during the War of Austrian\n         Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of\n         lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that\n         rank in the Army in December, 1745).

He was trained in medicine, and on September 25, 1729,\n         received his commission as surgeon in the \n          Royal Regiment of North British Dragoons (Scots Greys). In July, 1735, he purchased\n         a cornetcy in a troop of the Regiment. With faithful service\n         in the \n          Scots Greys during the War of Austrian\n         Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of\n         lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that\n         rank in the Army in December, 1745).

He was trained in medicine, and on September 25, 1729,\n         received his commission as surgeon in the \n          Royal Regiment of North British Dragoons (Scots Greys). In July, 1735, he purchased\n         a cornetcy in a troop of the Regiment. With faithful service\n         in the \n          Scots Greys during the War of Austrian\n         Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of\n         lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that\n         rank in the Army in December, 1745). In Februaryruary, 1757, Forbes\n         was given the colonelcy of the \n          17th Foot and shortly thereafter departed\n         for \n          North America, where he served the Earl\n         of Loudoun as adjutant general.","Forbes was made a brigadier by \n          William Pitt in December, 1757, with the\n         responsibility of directing a campaign in 1758 the objective\n         of which was the capture of \n          Fort Duquesne and the clearing of the\n         French from the \n          Ohio River Valley.
