23, 1811 at \"Paxton\" in Frederick County, Virginia, the estate of his father, General James Singleton. After attending the academy in Winchester, Virginia, Singleton moved to Kentucky in 1828. He married Mathilde Caves who died in 1832. Singleton pursued the study and practice of medicine in Kentucky. Later he married Ann Craig of Lexington, Kentucky. About 1834 he settled at Mount Sterling, Illinois. He commenced the study of law in Mount Sterling and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1841. During these years the Singletons had a son, James Washington, Jr. but he died in infancy. Ann Craig Singleton also died about 1840.","James Washington Singleton began to distinguish himself in public service during the 1840's. In the \"war\" against the Mormons he was in command of a military company and he was later commissioned a brigadier-general of militia by Governor Ford of Illinois for his services in the Mormon War. He married Parthenia McDonald on April 9, 1844. He had two children by his third wife: Louise(Lily) born in 1857 and James J. Singleton born in 1860. In 1847 he was elected to represent his county in a constitutional convention. He served in the Illinois legislature representing Schuyler(Brown) County from 1850 to 1854.\nThe Singletons moved to Quincy where James Washington practiced law and became active in politics. He served in the state legislature from 1860 to 1862. He also represented Quincy in the state Constitutional convention of 1861. ","During the Civil War Singleton may be most accurately characterized as a Peace Democrat who maintained close ties with President Lincoln. He had met Lincoln while he was in legal practice in Illinois in the 1840's. Their friendship lasted until Lincoln's death although they held different positions on the principal political issues of the time. Singleton apparently held informal \"negotiations\" with several people in Richmond including President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee. Lincoln did not give official sanction to these talks but was ready to recognize them if satisfactory Confederate proposals should emerge from the negotiations. Singleton died at home on April 4, 1892.","The collection consists of family papers spanning the lifetime of five generations of Singleton descendants. The collection includes papers of James Singleton, the father of James W. Singleton; James W. Singleton; Lily Singleton Thomas Osburn, the daughter of James W. Singleton; the Thomas children, the grandchildren of James W. Singleton; and Judith Ball Wysong Cofer, the great-granddaughter of James W. Singleton.

series: Series I: Correspondence; Series II: Legal Documents; Series III: Financial Records; Series IV: Newspaper Clippings; Series V: Military Papers; Series VI: Publications; Series VII: Genealogical Notes; Series VIII: Certificates; Series IX: Scrapbook; Series X: Cards; Series XI: Photographs; Series XII: Miscellany; and Series XIII: Oversize.","The Hodges family arrived in America in the first half of the seventeenth century. Although early records of the family have been lost, it is evident that they settled in the Tidewater region almost from the beginning. \nThe oldest available document is the will of William Hodges, which was written March 19, 1754. The will indicates that William Hodges was a planter who owned slaves. Of his seven children, the only one to be mentioned in another family document is Captain John Hodges. He married Lydia Thomas July 4, 1760 and died May 12, 1802. One of his sons, William Hodges, married Sally Deans, and one of their children was John Hodges, the first member of the family of whom any considerable record remains.\nJohn Hodges was born December 31, 1786 and died July 31, 1855. During the War of 1812 he rose to the rank of Brigadier General of the 9th Brigade of the Virginia Militia. He served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1826, and was a supervisor in Norfolk County for the election of presidential and vice-presidential electors in 1832. In addition to these activities, he served an undetermined number of years as Postmaster of Portsmouth until his resignation in 1840.\nGeneral Hodges bought a tract of land on the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, which he called Wildwood. From his farm, he operated a ferry, from which the Hodges Ferry section of Portsmouth derives its name. He also bought land in downtown Portsmouth upon which he built a house that still stands on North Street. Hodges married three times. His first two wives, Ann Carney (d. 1814) and Louise Harrison (d. 1826) both died, Ann childless, and Louise leaving two sons, John H. Hodges and William Henry Harrison Hodges. General Hodges' third marriage, to Jane Adelaide Gregory in 1828, resulted in three children, James Gregory Hodges, Emma Adelaide Hodges, and Margaret Jane Hodges.","No references remain concerning the life of the younger John Hodges, except that he married Eliza F. C. Benn in 1842, a marriage that produced three children. The other two sons, William Henry Harrison and James Gregory, are more fully documented. Their lives speak of both the gallantry and the tragedy of the Civil War.\nJames Gregory Hodges (1828-1863) married Sarah A. F. Wilson August 11, 1852, and had two sons, William Wilson Hodges and John Nelson Hodges. At the age of twenty-nine he served as Portsmouth's first mayor when the city was incorporated in 1858. The outbreak of the Civil War saw him active in the first Tidewater skirmish, which resulted in the burning of the Gosport Navy Yard in Portsmouth. Placed in command of the 14th Virginia Regiment James found himself at Gettysburg in July, 1863. During the famed \"Pickett's Charge,\" in which his regiment participated, James Gregory Hodges was killed.","William Henry Harrison Hodges (1824-1880) married Mary A. Griswold May 13, 1856, and had two daughters, Mary Louisa Hodges and Susan Green Hodges. He built a house on Middle Street across from his father's, still standing today. William survived the war, but he did not escape the tragedy of it. As cashier of the Merchants and Mechanics Savings Bank of Portsmouth, he was supposed to comply with the orders of the Union occupation troops under Major General Benjamin Butler. William was only one of five men in the town who refused to take the loyalty oath to the North, and when he did not obey the order to turn over the bank's money to union control, he was arrested and imprisoned from February 1864 until after the war's end. Through his ordeal he remained steadfast in his conviction that obedience to that order would not have been consistent with honor.\nWilliam had no sons, James' two sons died childless, and from the lack of evidence it appears that the one son of John Hodges also left no descendants. Therefore, at the death of William Wilson Hodges in 1893, the Hodges' line died out. But the memory of their importance to the Portsmouth community survives.","This collection contains correspondence, legal records, genealogical material, photographs, and other documentation of generations of the Hodges family. Although the Hodges line of male descendants ended in 1893, marriages of female descendants have brought the Ainsworth, Armistead, Lindsay, Hook, and Korty families into direct line with the Hodges. Consequently, some of the material contains references to these other families. Most of the collection, however, centers on General John Hodges and two of his sons, Colonel James Gregory Hodges and William Henry Harrison Hodges. Some of the highlights of the collection include Portsmouth during the Civil War, a bill of sale for those enslaved by the family, the list of Confederate prisoners at Camp Hamilton, and copies of photographs of family members. Most of the collection has been digitized and is available in the  Old Dominion University Libraries Digital Collections.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Correspondence, newspaper clippings, genealogical information, scrapbook materials, photographs. Collection primarily focuses on General John Hodges, William H. H.

series: Series I: Correspondence; Series II: Legal Documents; Series III: Financial Records; Series IV: Newspaper Clippings; Series V: Military Papers; Series VI: Publications; Series VII: Genealogical Notes; Series VIII: Certificates; Series IX: Scrapbook; Series X: Cards; Series XI: Photographs; Series XII: Miscellany; and Series XIII: Oversize.","The Hodges family arrived in America in the first half of the seventeenth century. Although early records of the family have been lost, it is evident that they settled in the Tidewater region almost from the beginning. \nThe oldest available document is the will of William Hodges, which was written March 19, 1754. The will indicates that William Hodges was a planter who owned slaves. Of his seven children, the only one to be mentioned in another family document is Captain John Hodges. He married Lydia Thomas July 4, 1760 and died May 12, 1802. One of his sons, William Hodges, married Sally Deans, and one of their children was John Hodges, the first member of the family of whom any considerable record remains.\nJohn Hodges was born December 31, 1786 and died July 31, 1855. During the War of 1812 he rose to the rank of Brigadier General of the 9th Brigade of the Virginia Militia. He served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1826, and was a supervisor in Norfolk County for the election of presidential and vice-presidential electors in 1832. In addition to these activities, he served an undetermined number of years as Postmaster of Portsmouth until his resignation in 1840.\nGeneral Hodges bought a tract of land on the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, which he called Wildwood. From his farm, he operated a ferry, from which the Hodges Ferry section of Portsmouth derives its name. He also bought land in downtown Portsmouth upon which he built a house that still stands on North Street. Hodges married three times. His first two wives, Ann Carney (d. 1814) and Louise Harrison (d. 1826) both died, Ann childless, and Louise leaving two sons, John H. Hodges and William Henry Harrison Hodges. General Hodges' third marriage, to Jane Adelaide Gregory in 1828, resulted in three children, James Gregory Hodges, Emma Adelaide Hodges, and Margaret Jane Hodges.","No references remain concerning the life of the younger John Hodges, except that he married Eliza F. C. Benn in 1842, a marriage that produced three children. The other two sons, William Henry Harrison and James Gregory, are more fully documented. Their lives speak of both the gallantry and the tragedy of the Civil War.\nJames Gregory Hodges (1828-1863) married Sarah A. F. Wilson August 11, 1852, and had two sons, William Wilson Hodges and John Nelson Hodges. At the age of twenty-nine he served as Portsmouth's first mayor when the city was incorporated in 1858. The outbreak of the Civil War saw him active in the first Tidewater skirmish, which resulted in the burning of the Gosport Navy Yard in Portsmouth. Placed in command of the 14th Virginia Regiment James found himself at Gettysburg in July, 1863. During the famed \"Pickett's Charge,\" in which his regiment participated, James Gregory Hodges was killed.","William Henry Harrison Hodges (1824-1880) married Mary A. Griswold May 13, 1856, and had two daughters, Mary Louisa Hodges and Susan Green Hodges. He built a house on Middle Street across from his father's, still standing today. William survived the war, but he did not escape the tragedy of it. As cashier of the Merchants and Mechanics Savings Bank of Portsmouth, he was supposed to comply with the orders of the Union occupation troops under Major General Benjamin Butler. William was only one of five men in the town who refused to take the loyalty oath to the North, and when he did not obey the order to turn over the bank's money to union control, he was arrested and imprisoned from February 1864 until after the war's end. Through his ordeal he remained steadfast in his conviction that obedience to that order would not have been consistent with honor.\nWilliam had no sons, James' two sons died childless, and from the lack of evidence it appears that the one son of John Hodges also left no descendants. Therefore, at the death of William Wilson Hodges in 1893, the Hodges' line died out. But the memory of their importance to the Portsmouth community survives.","This collection contains correspondence, legal records, genealogical material, photographs, and other documentation of generations of the Hodges family. Although the Hodges line of male descendants ended in 1893, marriages of female descendants have brought the Ainsworth, Armistead, Lindsay, Hook, and Korty families into direct line with the Hodges. Consequently, some of the material contains references to these other families. Most of the collection, however, centers on General John Hodges and two of his sons, Colonel James Gregory Hodges and William Henry Harrison Hodges. Some of the highlights of the collection include Portsmouth during the Civil War, a bill of sale for those enslaved by the family, the list of Confederate prisoners at Camp Hamilton, and copies of photographs of family members. Most of the collection has been digitized and is available in the  Old Dominion University Libraries Digital Collections.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Correspondence, newspaper clippings, genealogical information, scrapbook materials, photographs.

John B. Floyd and Sally Preston Floyd at Abingdon in southwestern Virginia. Through his parents, Robert W. Hughes and Eliza Johnston Hughes, he was related to many of Western Virginia's prominent families, including the Prestons, Johnstons, Mortons, and Floyds. Hughes lived in Washington, D.C. and Richmond while still a child but spent most of his early life in Abingdon. He was educated there, largely by private tutors.\nHughes entered the College of William and Mary in 1870 at the age of 15 and graduated with an A. B. degree in 1873. His association with William and Mary would continue throughout his adult life. Hughes served on the college's Board of Visitors from 1893 to 1918 and was rector from 1905 to 1918. He was also an active fundraiser for the college and was instrumental in the establishment of its Marshall-Wythe School of Government and Citizenship. In 1920 his grateful alma mater awarded him an honorary doctor of laws degree while in 1959 the library of the Norfolk branch of William and Mary (now Old Dominion University) was named in his memory.\nHughes also attended the University of Virginia where he studied law and earned a M.A. degree in 1877. After being admitted to the bar this same year, Hughes set up practice in Norfolk, Virginia, where he would continue to work until his retirement in 1920. His specialty was admiralty law. Hughes was elected president of the Virginia Bar Association in 1895 and of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Bar Association in 1907. In 1926 he was appointed by the Governor to a special commission created to suggest revisions to the Virginia constitution.\nHughes was a lifelong Republican, following the lead of his father who had been one of the first prominent Virginians to turn Republican during the Reconstruction period. This affiliation would not prove very rewarding for him. An unsuccessful Republican candidate for congress in 1902 and 1904, Hughes also failed in several attempts to be appointed to federal judgeships, beginning in 1897 when he sought to succeed his father as a judge in the district court at Norfolk, Hughes was a staunch conservative and the last years of his life found him ardently opposing the New Deal in general and Roosevelt's attacks on the Supreme Court in particular.\nWhile Hughes never held elective office he served his community in many other ways. Besides his long tenure on the Board of Visitors of William and Mary, he sat on the Board of Directors of the Norfolk Public Library from 1912 to 1938--he was president after 1921--and was a member of the State Board of Education from 1930 until 1935 when he resigned because of failing health. Hughes was also an active member of Christ Church (Episcopal) in Norfolk where he served as a vestryman from 1884 to 1928.\nHughes' major avocation, especially in later life, was that of amateur historian. His main interest was Virginia history and, within this field, the roles played by members of his own family. He felt particularly duty bound to defend the reputations of two close relatives: Gov. John B. Floyd (1806-1863), his adoptive maternal grandfather, and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston (1807-1891), U.S.A., C.S.A., his maternal great uncle. Johnston had in fact asked Hughes to write his official biography, a work which was published by Appleton in 1893. As a result of his commitment Hughes expended much time and energy writing articles and letters refuting \"incorrect\" statements by various authors which had directly or indirectly denigrated the careers or questioned the integrity of either man.\nRobert Morton Hughes died on January 15, 1940. He was survived by his wife - Mattie L. Smith Hughes, a son - Robert M. Hughes, Jr., and two grandchildren -Robert M. Hughes III and Carolyn Wright Hughes. A second son, Sydney Smith Hughes, had died in 1923.","Note written by Janice Halecki","Other papers related to Robert Morton Hughes can also be found in the Earl Gregg Swem Library at William \u0026 Mary (Mss. 65 H88 and UA 5.013).","The Hughes Papers are divided into three major sections. The first section contains Hughes' personal and political correspondence, speeches, literary efforts, small amounts of material related to his legal practice and to his involvement in Virginia political affairs (included is his participation in the Constitutional Commission of 1926-1927), and considerable material about his activities in support of education. Of particular note in this last area are his longtime association with the College of William and Mary (1870-1940) and his service on the State Board of Education (1930-1935).\nThe second section consists of correspondence and other papers originally belonging to certain of Hughes' relatives. Some of the correspondence goes back to the late 18th century. The major figures are Hughes' father Judge R. W. Hughes (d. 1901). his mother Eliza Johnston Hughes (d. 1908), his adoptive maternal grandfather John B. Floyd, (1806-1863) and his maternal great uncle Joseph E. Johnston, (1807-1891). Judge Hughes was one of the first prominent Virginian's to turn Republican in the post-Civil War Period; Floyd was Governor of Virginia (1849-1852), Secretary of War under Buchanan (1857-1860), and a general in the Confederate army (1861-1863); Johnston was a general in both the U.S. and Confederate armies (1860-1865). Among Hughes' papers are a number of incomplete drafts of Johnston's published war memoirs.\nThe third section consists of correspondence and other material related to Hughes' extensive activity as an amateur historian. The central topics are the careers of Gen. Johnston and Governor Floyd and after that Virginia and southern history in general.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Contains personal and political correspondence regarding his legal practice, involvement in Virginia politics and his activities in support of education.

He graduated from Maury High School, and later received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Princeton and his M.D. from John's Hopkins University. He specialized in obstetrics and gynecology and completed his residency training at Johns Hopkins as well. Andrews then began a successful OB/GYN private practice in Norfolk in 1950. Additionally, Dr. Andrews taught Obstetrics and Gynecology at Johns Hopkins University and later at Eastern Virginia Medical School.","Andrews' community service began during the 1950's with service on the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce and the Health Welfare and Recreation Planning Council. While serving as president of the Norfolk County Medical Society, Andrews appointed a bipartisan committee to study the need for a medical school in the area. The study was able to convince the Virginia General Assembly of the need for a new medical school. In 1964 the Eastern Virginia Medical Center authority was formed with the charge of developing the new medical school. Andrews served as the chairman of the authority from 1964-1970. Under his leadership a medical center complex was built in an area that has once been slums. The medical complex now consists of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), Norfolk General Hospital, Medical Tower, Public Health Department, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and Tidewater Rehabilitation Institute. In addition, as chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at EVMS Andrews was instrumental in bringing the team of Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones to Norfolk. The Drs. Jones specialized in treating infertility problems. In 1981 they brought notoriety to Norfolk with the role they played in the first successful birth, in the United States, of a baby conceived by in-vitro fertilization. With the success of the in-vitro fertilization program the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine was founded in 1983.","Andrews also served on the Norfolk City Council from 1974 to 2000 and as the city's mayor from 1992 to 1994. During his tenure on the council he was instrumental in the redevelopment of the downtown waterfront. Andrews introduced the developer of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, James Rouse, to Norfolk. Rouse designed the Waterside Festival Marketplace for the Norfolk waterfront. Other downtown projects promoted by Andrews included Nauticus, the Norfolk campus of Tidewater Community College, and the MacArthur Center Mall.

The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1808. Loyall was a member of the House of Delegates from the Borough of Norfolk, 1817-1827. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. George Loyall was a member of Congress, 1831-1837. He was Navy agent of Norfolk from 1837-1861. Loyall resigned his position on April 17, 1861 because of his southern sympathies. His first wife Rebecca Tyler died in 1812 and his second wife Margaret Kelly died in 1855. George Loyall died on February 24, 1868. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Norfolk.","Francis Mallory was born in 1805. He was appointed a midshipman in the Navy in 1822. He resigned from the service in 1826. Mallory practiced medicine in Norfolk for several years. He served in Congress from 1837 to 1843. Mallory was the first president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. He was appointed Navy Agent in 1850. Mallory's first wife Mary Shield died. He later married Mary Wright. Francis Mallory died in Norfolk on March 26, 1860.","Many of the letters sent to the Navy agents involved Commodore Lewis Warrington. He was born at Williamsburg, Virginia on November 3, 1782. He attended the College of William and Mary. Warrington was appointed midshipman in the Navy on January 6, 1800. He fought in the war with the Barbary pirates. Warrington performed distinguished service during the War of 1812. He was promoted to master commandant in 1813. Warrington was given the command of the USS Peacock. He engaged and defeated the British brig Epervier off Cape Canaveral on April 29, 1814. Warrington captured the cruiser Nautilus on June 30, 1815. He was a member of the Navy commission from 1826 to 1830 and again from 1840 to 1842. Warrington commanded at the Gosport Navy Yard from June, 1821 to December 1824 and again from May, 1831 to October, 1840. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1844. Warrington was married to Margaret King. He died on October 12, 1851.","The Navy Yard was evacuated and burned by the Confederate Navy on May 10, 1862. The Union forces reoccupied the Navy Yard. The federal government designated the installation the United States Navy Yard. Commodore John Livingston was given the command of the Navy Yard. He was born on May 22, 1804. Livingston was Executive Officer of the USS Congress during the Mexican War. Early in the Civil War he commanded the USS Penquin, and later the USS Bienville, operating in the blockade of Wilmington and Hampton Roads. He was transferred to command the USS Cumberland. Livingston became ill and was forced to leave the vessel before it was sunk by the CSS Virginia. He assumed command of the Navy Yard on May 20, 1862. In November, 1864 he was transferred to command the Naval Station at Mound City, Illinois. He died in New York City on September 10, 1885.","The collection contains documents of several nineteenth-century merchants. William T. Fleet was one of the most successful businessmen operating in Norfolk. He was a grocer and commission merchant. Fleet was primarily a dealer in grain, flour and meal.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr.","Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb was born in Norfolk on March 1, 1910.

They had two children, Dr. George Randolph Webb and Mary Lewis Webb (Mrs. Robert Ash). Dr. Webb died in 1984 and Virginia Rice Webb died in 2003.","Electricity Cost Commission","The governor established the Electricity Cost Commission on March 31, 1975. The Commission was organized in response to consumer concern about the high cost of electricity and the efficiency of the management of the power companies. The governor instructed the Commission to analyze the reasons for high electrical rates, the energy situation in Virginia and in other states, alternative sources of energy, and the projections of the power companies for future demand for energy. The Commission was instructed to publish its findings.","The Commission was composed of twenty-one members. They were divided into four committees. Each of the committees was assigned to analyze a specific problem. Dr. Webb was appointed by Governor Mills Godwin Jr. as Chairman of the Committee on Utility Management. The Commission held meetings each month in Richmond. Public hearings were held to allow people to express their views.","The Commission gathered information from diverse sources. They hired twelve consultants to conduct fourteen independent studies. The Commission utilized testimony from energy experts and federal agencies.

In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk.

The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1808. Loyall was a member of the House of Delegates from the Borough of Norfolk, 1817-1827. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. George Loyall was a member of Congress, 1831-1837. He was Navy agent of Norfolk from 1837-1861. Loyall resigned his position on April 17, 1861 because of his southern sympathies. His first wife Rebecca Tyler died in 1812 and his second wife Margaret Kelly died in 1855. George Loyall died on February 24, 1868. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Norfolk.","Francis Mallory was born in 1805. He was appointed a midshipman in the Navy in 1822. He resigned from the service in 1826. Mallory practiced medicine in Norfolk for several years. He served in Congress from 1837 to 1843. Mallory was the first president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. He was appointed Navy Agent in 1850. Mallory's first wife Mary Shield died. He later married Mary Wright. Francis Mallory died in Norfolk on March 26, 1860.","Many of the letters sent to the Navy agents involved Commodore Lewis Warrington. He was born at Williamsburg, Virginia on November 3, 1782. He attended the College of William and Mary. Warrington was appointed midshipman in the Navy on January 6, 1800. He fought in the war with the Barbary pirates. Warrington performed distinguished service during the War of 1812. He was promoted to master commandant in 1813. Warrington was given the command of the USS Peacock. He engaged and defeated the British brig Epervier off Cape Canaveral on April 29, 1814. Warrington captured the cruiser Nautilus on June 30, 1815. He was a member of the Navy commission from 1826 to 1830 and again from 1840 to 1842. Warrington commanded at the Gosport Navy Yard from June, 1821 to December 1824 and again from May, 1831 to October, 1840. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1844. Warrington was married to Margaret King. He died on October 12, 1851.","The Navy Yard was evacuated and burned by the Confederate Navy on May 10, 1862. The Union forces reoccupied the Navy Yard. The federal government designated the installation the United States Navy Yard. Commodore John Livingston was given the command of the Navy Yard. He was born on May 22, 1804. Livingston was Executive Officer of the USS Congress during the Mexican War. Early in the Civil War he commanded the USS Penquin, and later the USS Bienville, operating in the blockade of Wilmington and Hampton Roads. He was transferred to command the USS Cumberland. Livingston became ill and was forced to leave the vessel before it was sunk by the CSS Virginia. He assumed command of the Navy Yard on May 20, 1862. In November, 1864 he was transferred to command the Naval Station at Mound City, Illinois.

The governor instructed the Commission to analyze the reasons for high electrical rates, the energy situation in Virginia and in other states, alternative sources of energy, and the projections of the power companies for future demand for energy. The Commission was instructed to publish its findings.","The Commission was composed of twenty-one members. They were divided into four committees. Each of the committees was assigned to analyze a specific problem. Dr. Webb was appointed by Governor Mills Godwin Jr. as Chairman of the Committee on Utility Management. The Commission held meetings each month in Richmond. Public hearings were held to allow people to express their views.","The Commission gathered information from diverse sources.
