The collection contains correspondence, financial\n         and legal papers, printed material, and miscellaneous related\n         papers.

A genealogy of the Leftwich family may be found in Campbell Chronicles and Family Sketches: Embracing the History of Campbell County, Virginia 1782-1926 by Ruth H. Early.","Leftwich was the son of \n          Augustine Leftwich (?-1795) and was born\n         in Bedford County, Virginia. His brothers included \n          James Leftwich,  \n          Jesse Leftwich,  \n          Augustine Leftwich Jr.,  and \n          Jabez Leftwich . His own son, \n          Jack Leftwich,  and five grandchildren are\n         mentioned in the family correspondence: \n          Joel B. Leftwich,  \n          Sarah A. Leftwich,  \n          Mary L. Leftwich (Fuqua),  \n          Ann Leftwich (Goode) and \n          Ethelinda Leftwich . Most of the\n         correspondence concerns local and family events. There is an\n         interesting group of letters between Joel B. Leftwich and his\n         friends concerning college life at Randolph-Macon College during the 1840's\n         and their perceptions of the women they were courting.","Correspondence concerning Virginia politics during the early\n         nineteenth century in Richmond (principally letters from Jabez\n         to Joel Leftwich) begins in the year 1806. One letter of\n         interest concerns the itinerary for the visit by the Marquis\n         de Lafayette in 1824. Leftwich, as were many of his Bedford neighbors, was a supporter of the old Whig Party; his correspondents include House of Delegates\n         member \n          William Campbell,  Senator \n          Isaac Otey,  \n          P. M. Goggin,  \n          Walter Taylor,  and General \n          Joseph Martin who discusses President \n          Thomas Jefferson 's opinion concerning the\n         maintaining of a standing army (April 17, 1803). Leftwich\n         himself served as a member of the Virginia General Assembly\n         and a few of his letters pertain to his legislative career as\n         represented by an April 4, 1841 letter to President \n          John Tyler recommending the appointment of\n          William Norvell as U.S. consul at Rio de Janeiro.","Also present are several writings and speeches by Leftwich\n         on a variety of subjects including the Revolutionary War, and\n         the need for religious conversion of Indians. Joel B. Leftwich\n         was a member of a debating society and his speeches on\n         temperance, good memory, and other topics are present in these\n         papers. Leftwich himself subscribed to Niles Weekly Register\n         and several issues from 1815 to 1839 are present in this\n         collection. Of special interest are manuscript notes on the\n         Virginia Convention called for the purpose of ratifying the\n         Federal Constitution in June 1788; these notes consist of\n         remarks made by such participants as Patrick Henry and James\n         Madison.","The financial and legal aspects of Leftwich's life had two\n         major components: as a gentleman farmer and horse breeder and\n         as a justice of the peace for Bedford County. Bills and receipts from\n         1789 to 1843 are in the collection along with tax statements\n         for several members of his family regarding horses and slaves.\n         Horses were of great concern to the family and there are\n         numerous mentions in the correspondence on their trade,\n         breeding, and racing. There are several items pertaining to a\n         stud horse named \"Pilgrim\" which had been purchased in 1795\n         from \n          Daniel Nance of Lincoln County, North Carolina for the sum\n         of five hundred dollars. Other papers include a bill of sale\n         as to the horse's pedigree and a broadside attesting to his\n         value and price.","Tax statements for the year 1802 depict Joel Leftwich as\n         the owner of seven slaves for which he paid a tax of $13.90\n         (the tax for \"Pilgrim\" was ten dollars). Other documents\n         pertain to the hiring of his slaves, and legal dispensations\n         of them for the payment of debts, 1796-1826. Among these is a\n         complaint against a slave named \n          Bill who was owned by Jesse Leftwich. The\n         slave had shot a dog belonging to his owner's brother\n         Augustine and Joel Leftwich, as justice of the peace, issued a\n         warrant for his arrest. Legal documents including wills,\n         indentures, subpoenas, arrest warrants and other related\n         materials are in this group of papers. One group of letters\n         described the apprehension of a man believed to have been be\n         insane and of his transfer to a lunatic asylum. The remaining\n         items are primarily concerned with Leftwich's routine duties\n         as a justice of the peace.","Leftwich's military service is represented by militia\n         returns, muster rolls, general and brigade orders, drill\n         parade memorandum, and courts-martial papers. His brother,\n         Jabez, who later became a member of Congress, served with him\n         as a brigade inspector. Notable correspondents include \n          William Henry Harrison,  \n          William Barbour,  \n          Claiborne W. Gooch,  and \n          Richard Crooks . Leftwich began his\n         military career during the Revolutionary War when he enlisted\n         as an ensign and fought at the battles of Germantown, Camden, and Guilford Court House where he was wounded.\n         During the War of 1812 the Virginia militia was called to the\n         defense of Richmond following the burning of Washington, D.C.\n         on August 24, 1814. Upon the death of General Joseph Martin,\n         Leftwich was elected by the Virginia General Assembly as a\n         brigadier general of the Twelfth Brigade of militia which\n         consisted of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 43rd, 53rd, 64th, 91st, and\n         110th regiments. He commanded a force of militia under William\n         Henry Harrison, commander of the Army of the Northwest during\n         the war. A group of letters between the two men provides\n         information on a little-known event. Harrison apparently\n         ordered Leftwich to continue the building of an eight-acre\n         stockade on the Maumee River at Fort Meigs, Ohio. He disobeyed orders by\n         departing for home before Harrison's arrival and the fort's\n         completion. As a result, American forces were defeated near\n         the area but Leftwich's military career was undamaged.","In the correspondence for the 1820's and 1830's are\n         numerous invitations to Leftwich requesting his presence at\n         military dinners, barbecues, and honorary functions. In later\n         years Leftwich, a major general of militia, sought to have his\n         federal military pension increased and \n          William Leftwich Goggin,  a Whig who\n         represented a district in Bedford County in Congress,\n         presented a petition on his behalf to that body. General\n         Leftwich died on April 20, 1846, in Bedford County.","The collection is arranged chronologically in three series:\n         I. Military Papers, II.

Correspondence and business papers comprise the bulk\n         of the collection but there is a significant amount of\n         material relating to the operations of the Twelfth Virginia Militia Brigade from 1790\n         to 1842. A genealogy of the Leftwich family may be found in Campbell Chronicles and Family Sketches: Embracing the History of Campbell County, Virginia 1782-1926 by Ruth H. Early.","Leftwich was the son of \n          Augustine Leftwich (?-1795) and was born\n         in Bedford County, Virginia. His brothers included \n          James Leftwich,  \n          Jesse Leftwich,  \n          Augustine Leftwich Jr.,  and \n          Jabez Leftwich . His own son, \n          Jack Leftwich,  and five grandchildren are\n         mentioned in the family correspondence: \n          Joel B. Leftwich,  \n          Sarah A. Leftwich,  \n          Mary L. Leftwich (Fuqua),  \n          Ann Leftwich (Goode) and \n          Ethelinda Leftwich . Most of the\n         correspondence concerns local and family events. There is an\n         interesting group of letters between Joel B. Leftwich and his\n         friends concerning college life at Randolph-Macon College during the 1840's\n         and their perceptions of the women they were courting.","Correspondence concerning Virginia politics during the early\n         nineteenth century in Richmond (principally letters from Jabez\n         to Joel Leftwich) begins in the year 1806. One letter of\n         interest concerns the itinerary for the visit by the Marquis\n         de Lafayette in 1824. Leftwich, as were many of his Bedford neighbors, was a supporter of the old Whig Party; his correspondents include House of Delegates\n         member \n          William Campbell,  Senator \n          Isaac Otey,  \n          P. M. Goggin,  \n          Walter Taylor,  and General \n          Joseph Martin who discusses President \n          Thomas Jefferson 's opinion concerning the\n         maintaining of a standing army (April 17, 1803). Leftwich\n         himself served as a member of the Virginia General Assembly\n         and a few of his letters pertain to his legislative career as\n         represented by an April 4, 1841 letter to President \n          John Tyler recommending the appointment of\n          William Norvell as U.S. consul at Rio de Janeiro.","Also present are several writings and speeches by Leftwich\n         on a variety of subjects including the Revolutionary War, and\n         the need for religious conversion of Indians. Joel B. Leftwich\n         was a member of a debating society and his speeches on\n         temperance, good memory, and other topics are present in these\n         papers. Leftwich himself subscribed to Niles Weekly Register\n         and several issues from 1815 to 1839 are present in this\n         collection. Of special interest are manuscript notes on the\n         Virginia Convention called for the purpose of ratifying the\n         Federal Constitution in June 1788; these notes consist of\n         remarks made by such participants as Patrick Henry and James\n         Madison.","The financial and legal aspects of Leftwich's life had two\n         major components: as a gentleman farmer and horse breeder and\n         as a justice of the peace for Bedford County. Bills and receipts from\n         1789 to 1843 are in the collection along with tax statements\n         for several members of his family regarding horses and slaves.\n         Horses were of great concern to the family and there are\n         numerous mentions in the correspondence on their trade,\n         breeding, and racing. There are several items pertaining to a\n         stud horse named \"Pilgrim\" which had been purchased in 1795\n         from \n          Daniel Nance of Lincoln County, North Carolina for the sum\n         of five hundred dollars. Other papers include a bill of sale\n         as to the horse's pedigree and a broadside attesting to his\n         value and price.","Tax statements for the year 1802 depict Joel Leftwich as\n         the owner of seven slaves for which he paid a tax of $13.90\n         (the tax for \"Pilgrim\" was ten dollars). Other documents\n         pertain to the hiring of his slaves, and legal dispensations\n         of them for the payment of debts, 1796-1826. Among these is a\n         complaint against a slave named \n          Bill who was owned by Jesse Leftwich. The\n         slave had shot a dog belonging to his owner's brother\n         Augustine and Joel Leftwich, as justice of the peace, issued a\n         warrant for his arrest. Legal documents including wills,\n         indentures, subpoenas, arrest warrants and other related\n         materials are in this group of papers. One group of letters\n         described the apprehension of a man believed to have been be\n         insane and of his transfer to a lunatic asylum. The remaining\n         items are primarily concerned with Leftwich's routine duties\n         as a justice of the peace.","Leftwich's military service is represented by militia\n         returns, muster rolls, general and brigade orders, drill\n         parade memorandum, and courts-martial papers. His brother,\n         Jabez, who later became a member of Congress, served with him\n         as a brigade inspector. Notable correspondents include \n          William Henry Harrison,  \n          William Barbour,  \n          Claiborne W. Gooch,  and \n          Richard Crooks . Leftwich began his\n         military career during the Revolutionary War when he enlisted\n         as an ensign and fought at the battles of Germantown, Camden, and Guilford Court House where he was wounded.\n         During the War of 1812 the Virginia militia was called to the\n         defense of Richmond following the burning of Washington, D.C.\n         on August 24, 1814. Upon the death of General Joseph Martin,\n         Leftwich was elected by the Virginia General Assembly as a\n         brigadier general of the Twelfth Brigade of militia which\n         consisted of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 43rd, 53rd, 64th, 91st, and\n         110th regiments. He commanded a force of militia under William\n         Henry Harrison, commander of the Army of the Northwest during\n         the war. A group of letters between the two men provides\n         information on a little-known event. Harrison apparently\n         ordered Leftwich to continue the building of an eight-acre\n         stockade on the Maumee River at Fort Meigs, Ohio. He disobeyed orders by\n         departing for home before Harrison's arrival and the fort's\n         completion. As a result, American forces were defeated near\n         the area but Leftwich's military career was undamaged.","In the correspondence for the 1820's and 1830's are\n         numerous invitations to Leftwich requesting his presence at\n         military dinners, barbecues, and honorary functions. In later\n         years Leftwich, a major general of militia, sought to have his\n         federal military pension increased and \n          William Leftwich Goggin,  a Whig who\n         represented a district in Bedford County in Congress,\n         presented a petition on his behalf to that body. General\n         Leftwich died on April 20, 1846, in Bedford County.","The collection is arranged chronologically in three series:\n         I. Military Papers, II.

Interfiled with these\n         papers are extensive papers of the closely-related \n          Noland family . The joined collection\n         comprises about 20,000 items (ca. 85 Hollinger documents boxes\n         on about 38 feet of shelving) dating between 1653 and 1930, with the heaviest concentration in the nineteenth\n         century.","The Berkeleys were in \n         Virginia very early, and settled first in \n         Gloucester County. The family was in \n         Middlesex County by the first decade of\n         the eighteenth century where they built \" \n         Barn Elms\" on the Piankatank River (on\n         the north bank from present Berkeley Island). About 1820 they\n         left Middlesex for \" \n         Aldie, \" \n         Loudoun County where they remained until\n         1882 when they moved to \n         Red Hill, \n         Albemarle County. The name \"Edmund\"\n         appears in every generation.","The bulk of the Berkeley Papers concern business matters,\n         especially farming operations on lands in Gloucester, Middlesex,King\n         William, Prince William, Hanover, Lancaster, Loudoun, Albemarle, Clarke, and other\n         counties.","Because of the close ties between the Berkeley and Noland\n         families there are many common correspondents and much\n         complementary material in the various groups of Noland and\n         Berkeley families papers received by the Library from a number\n         of donors over almost fifty years. Accordingly, the groups of \n          Noland family papers have been interfiled\n         into the Berkeley Papers. Separate folders have been used, and\n         the accession numbers assigned to each group as it was\n         received by the Library appear on the folders.","Much of the Noland material concerns \"Airwell,\" Hanover County, and \n          William Noland, \n          Carter B. Berkeley, and \n          Nelson Berkeley. Other items and topics\n         of interest in the combined collections include: letters from \n          Berkeley family members attending the \n         University of Virginia; letters written\n         by during the Civil War, especially by the Berkeleys serving\n         in the \n         Eighth Virginia Infantry Regiment.\n         Letters written by \n          Edmund Berkeley (1824-1915) relate many\n         anecdotes about prominent persons such as the \n          Marquis de Lafayette, \n          James Monroe, \n          Catesby ap Roger Jones, \n          Andrew Jackson, \n          Abel Parker Upshur, \n          Henry Clay, \n          John C. Calhoun, \n          Daniel Webster, \n          Charles Dickens, \n          Sam Houston, and \n          Theodore Roosevelt. He also describes\n         events such as the explosion of the cannon named the\n         \"Peacemaker\" on board the U.S.S. Princeton in 1844.

The papers apparently passed to Andrew Skene after Craig's death. Skene (1784-1835) also worked as an advocate and later briefly served as Scotland's solicitor general. He greatly expanded Craig's original collection. When Skene died in 1835 the papers were sold in an estate sale, after which the Library of the Society of Advocates in Aberdeen, Scotland, came into possession of them. The library sold them, along with many of their manuscript collections, in the 1980s. The UVA Law Library purchased the records in 1986. Many of these documents include Skene's handwritten, and often lengthy, annotations on the content and judgments for individual cases. Skene likely enlarged his own library by acquiring Session papers from other personal collections. The earliest documents in UVA's collection predate Skene's legal career and include the annotations of other Scottish jurists, such as William Craig, lawyer and judge from 1768 to 1812.","Arthur J.

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.

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. The administrative and\n         estate papers concern the estates of \n         William Peachey( -1700), \n         Lewis Latane(1672-1732), \n         Robert Payne Waring(-1799?), \n         William Latane(1750-1811), \n         John Temple( -1812), \n         Lewis Dix( -1815?), \n         James Allen( -1820?), \n         Ann Latane( -1820?), and \n         Henry Waring Latane(1782-1860).

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.
