He graduated in 1779 from the College of William and Mary, where he founded the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. He was elected to the Virginia Executive Council of State at the age of 24. ","Today considered America's first career diplomat, Short acted as Thomas Jefferson's private secretary when he accompanied Jefferson to France in 1784. His first important task was to exchange drafts of the U.S.-Prussian Treaty with the Prussian minister at The Hague. Short was made Charge d'affairs at Paris in 1789 and continued Jefferson's policy of seeking liberation of French domestic and colonial commerce in favor of the United States. Short's capabilities and social skills came to be widely appreciated in French diplomatic and social circles. ","Short served as the fiscal agent of the United States from 1790 to 1792. He was Minister of The Hague in 1792 and then of Madrid in 1793. He returned to France in 1795 and lived there until 1810. He then returned to the United States and devoted himself to private affairs. Short was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1804 in recognition of his distinguished achievements as a scholar, diplomat and financier. He died in 1849. ","George Green Shackelford was a professor of history at Virginia Tech. He also was a historical preservation expert and specialist in the age of Washington and Jefferson in Virginia history. In 1985, he received an award from the Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture in historic preservation.","Shackelford attended the Woodberry Forest School, Columbia University, and then the University of Virginia for his Ph.D. He also earned certificates from the Attingham Summer School and Institute of Historical and Archival Management. In 1942, Shackelford received his commission in the Naval Reserve and served in anti-submarine warfare in the Atlantic and Pacific. He was a Lieutenant by the end of his service.","Before Shackelford taught at Virginia Tech from 1954 to 1986, he taught at Birmingham Southern College from 1948 to 1949 and worked as a research fellow at the Virginia Historical Society. From 1963 to 1964, Shackelford spearheaded the restoration of Smithfield Plantation. In 1967, he worked as a historical consultant to the Westmoreland David Memorial Foundation for Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia.","Shackelford was also a prolific author. He wrote five books, including  Jefferson's Adoptive Son: The Life of William Short, 1759-1849  and  Thomas Jefferson's Travels in Europe, 1784-1789.  He also wrote many articles and was the co-editor of the  Virginia Social Sciences Journal.","The guide to the William Short Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Much of this material was copied from the holdings of the Library of Congress.

","A large portion of the collection consists of correspondence arising from Short's position as private secretary to Thomas Jefferson, and also as a diplomat holding office with the U. S. government in various parts of Europe. Ranging in date from 1791 to 1813, the correspondence includes letters of Jefferson during his tenure as secretary of state, as well as selected correspondence between Short and such figures as James Monroe, George Tucker, Ben Stoddart and Gen. J. H. Cocke. Apart from the letters themselves, the collection also contains records and summaries, maintained by Short, of his own correspondence. ","The collection also contains copies of government documents, dated 1791 to 1792, mostly consisting of statements regarding Dutch and French loans to the United States. Also included is a statement of Short's personal accounts (1799-1803)--mentioning such names as Price, Lively, Haden Terril, Shackleford, Spiers and Reynolds--and sketches of Short's property in Albemarle County, Virginia. ","A miscellaneous folder contains copies of various personal items, such as the Short family coat of arms, maps of Spain and Surry County, Virginia, landscape sketches and some printed material, including an excerpt from Sidney Fay's Origins of the World War. These are followed by photographs and negatives of portraits and miniatures of William Short, Peyton Short, Rosalie (wife of Duc de la Rochefoucauld), and Charles IV.

His mother was Elizabeth Stevens. He married Philadelphia Burrus and died sometime before the writing of his father's will in 1836 perhaps in Clark County, Kentucky where the Burrus family had landholdings.  This branch of the Burrus family also had a number of descendants named Lancelot Burrus, including the son of William Tandy Burrus, one of whom might be the owner of the ledger in 1881.","Elizabeth Stevens, wife of Thomas Burrus, had a brother named William Stevens who is perhaps the William Stevens referred to on the name plate on the inside cover of the ledger.  William Stevens was the son of John Stevens, a prominent member of the Orange County community.  In his will, John Stevens mentions a store and house occupied by his son William Stevens.  William Stevens was born of June 22, 1773 and died in January of 1843.  He married Margaret Mill on February 9, 1801.

He married Philadelphia Burrus and died sometime before the writing of his father's will in 1836 perhaps in Clark County, Kentucky where the Burrus family had landholdings.  This branch of the Burrus family also had a number of descendants named Lancelot Burrus, including the son of William Tandy Burrus, one of whom might be the owner of the ledger in 1881.","Elizabeth Stevens, wife of Thomas Burrus, had a brother named William Stevens who is perhaps the William Stevens referred to on the name plate on the inside cover of the ledger.  William Stevens was the son of John Stevens, a prominent member of the Orange County community.  In his will, John Stevens mentions a store and house occupied by his son William Stevens.  William Stevens was born of June 22, 1773 and died in January of 1843.  He married Margaret Mill on February 9, 1801.  The Stevens and Burrus family appear to be closely connected in terms of both status, marriage, and their participation in the community.","Some names included in the ledger are:","Jackson Mills","Charles Mills","William Chiles","Henry Chiles","Jacob Graves","William M.
