Col. White was involved in a number of\n         mercantile interests (up to some forty-five at one time) in\n         addition to the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Washington County. This\n         included business interests in the states of \n         Virginia, \n         Tennessee, \n         Alabama, and \n         Georgia, and investments in lead mines in\n         Wythe County, iron furnaces, cotton\n         plantations, and slaves. His property was worth at least\n         $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col. White's\n         business papers do not furnish a complete picture of any of\n         these interests.","Col. White moved to \n         Abingdon, Virginiaabout 1795. Prior to\n         his arrival there, White had worked for \n         Talbot, Jones \u0026 Company, a \n         Baltimoremerchandising house, who\n         supplied him with enough goods to set up his own business. He\n         married Miss \n         Eliza Wilsonin 1798 and began expanding\n         his business by becoming a partner of such men as Mr.\n         Henderson in \n         Abingdonand \n         William Lynnin \n         Alabama.","One of his most important business enterprises was the\n         leasing of the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Virginia, from the executors\n         of the \n         William Kingestate. Because the chain of\n         ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n         the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n         own involvement in the property.","General \n         Francis Prestonand his family had owned\n         the salt lick when \n         William King(1769-1808) purchased the\n         land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n         furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n         Preston Salinesuntil his death in 1808.\n         According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n         brother, \n         James King, \n         William Trigg, and \n         William King's wife, \n         Mary Trigg King, and their executors\n         until 1819, when it was leased to \n         John Sanders. Sanders sold his lease\n         rights to \n         James Whitewho leased the operations\n         until 1833. Other individuals leased this property until the\n         formation of the \n         Holston Salt \u0026 Plaster Companyin\n         1864. The \n         King Saltworksproduced from 90,000 to\n         100,000 bushels of salt per year. During the Civil War, it was\n         the largest supplier of salt to the Confederacy.","The business papers of Col.

These closely related\n         families were two of the leading participants in the business\n         and political life of Southwest \n         Virginiaduring the nineteenth century.\n         The business papers of Col. \n         James White(1770-1838), other papers\n         concerning the settlement of his estate, and the business and\n         correspondence of the \n         White family, chiefly of \n         William Young Conn White(1812-1882), all\n         contain material relating to the development of business and\n         industry in Southwest \n         Virginiaand its economic ties to \n         Tennesseeand \n         Alabamabefore and after the Civil\n         War.","The first two series of the \n         White familypapers contain Col. \n         James White's own business papers,\n         1807-1838, and papers relating to the settlement of his vast\n         estate, 1838-1878. Col. White was involved in a number of\n         mercantile interests (up to some forty-five at one time) in\n         addition to the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Washington County. This\n         included business interests in the states of \n         Virginia, \n         Tennessee, \n         Alabama, and \n         Georgia, and investments in lead mines in\n         Wythe County, iron furnaces, cotton\n         plantations, and slaves. His property was worth at least\n         $750,000 at the time of his death. Unfortunately, Col. White's\n         business papers do not furnish a complete picture of any of\n         these interests.","Col. White moved to \n         Abingdon, Virginiaabout 1795. Prior to\n         his arrival there, White had worked for \n         Talbot, Jones \u0026 Company, a \n         Baltimoremerchandising house, who\n         supplied him with enough goods to set up his own business. He\n         married Miss \n         Eliza Wilsonin 1798 and began expanding\n         his business by becoming a partner of such men as Mr.\n         Henderson in \n         Abingdonand \n         William Lynnin \n         Alabama.","One of his most important business enterprises was the\n         leasing of the saltworks at \n         Saltville, Virginia, from the executors\n         of the \n         William Kingestate. Because the chain of\n         ownership and control of the saltworks is somewhat confusing,\n         the following short history of ownership will clarify White's\n         own involvement in the property.","General \n         Francis Prestonand his family had owned\n         the salt lick when \n         William King(1769-1808) purchased the\n         land west of their claim in 1795. By 1799, King had erected\n         furnaces and began the manufacture of salt. He also rented the\n         Preston Salinesuntil his death in 1808.\n         According to his will, the salt works were carried on by his\n         brother, \n         James King, \n         William Trigg, and \n         William King's wife, \n         Mary Trigg King, and their executors\n         until 1819, when it was leased to \n         John Sanders. Sanders sold his lease\n         rights to \n         James Whitewho leased the operations\n         until 1833. Other individuals leased this property until the\n         formation of the \n         Holston Salt \u0026 Plaster Companyin\n         1864. The \n         King Saltworksproduced from 90,000 to\n         100,000 bushels of salt per year. During the Civil War, it was\n         the largest supplier of salt to the Confederacy.","The business papers of Col. White contain several items\n         related to his salt interests including: papers concerning the\n         estate of \n         William Kingand the saltworks (October\n         27, 1820; May 14, 1821; April 3, June 7, \u0026 October 4,\n         1823; and September 1834); extracts from \n         John Hardies' disposition concerning salt\n         prices, 1824-1829 (April 7, 1829); and other legal papers\n         regarding the saltworks (May 26, 1830; September 8, 1831;\n         April 1833; November 7, 1834; March 12 \u0026 September 27,\n         1836; May 26, 1837; and August 15, 1838); a valuation of\n         buildings at \n         Saltville(undated) and a memorandum\n         regarding the account books at \n         Saltville(undated).","His business papers also include the balances on the \n         Saltvillebooks (1820-1835). Papers\n         concerning cotton shipments (1837-1838) and his other\n         mercantile interests (August 25, 1821 and April 16, 1835) are\n         present but do not adequately represent the extent of his\n         involvement.","The settlement of the estate of Col. \n         James Whitewas not completed until 1878\n         and the records in the second series show the extent of\n         White's assets at his death, especially the slave and land\n         inventories (ca. 1838), a notebook regarding the estate of \n         James White, 1843-1863, and a commonplace\n         book record of the division of his property (ca. 1851).","An inventory entitled \"Inventory and appraisement of the\n         personal property belonging to the estate of Col. James White\n         deceased\" is an especially useful summation of Col. White's\n         economic status at the time of his death. It contains entries\n         for: merchandise (pp. 1-18); small notes (pp. 19-37); salt due\n         bills (p. 38); appraisements of property in \n         Clay County, Kentucky, and the \n         Limestoneand \n         BellefontePlantations in \n         Alabama(pp. 39-44); sales of personal\n         property (pp. 45-46); dividends, cash received and notes (p.\n         47); various agreements (pp. 60-121); and settlement of the\n         estate (pp. 126-129). The volume also has notes regarding the\n         periodic examination of the accounts by the commissioner which\n         were recorded by the court, 1839-1871.","The correspondence of the \n         White familyincludes many letters\n         concerning business matters; of special note are the letters\n         of \n         Thomas Wilson White(1817-? ) to his\n         brother \n         William Young Conn White(1812-1882), both\n         sons of Col. \n         James White. \n         Thomas Whitewas the manager of the\n         family's plantation \" \n         Bellefonte, \" near \n         Huntsville, Alabama, and his letters give\n         a detailed account of its affairs (Feb., Nov., and Dec. 1843;\n         Jan. 1844; Sep., Nov., and Dec. 1845; Feb., Apr., and Dec.\n         1846; Jun. 1847; Jul. 1848; Mar. and May 1849; Mar. and Jul.\n         1851; Feb.-Apr. 1852; Apr. 1854; Oct. 1857; Jan., Apr., \u0026\n         Jun. 1858; Jul., \u0026 Sep.-Oct. 1859; Nov. 1862; Jul. 1874;\n         Mar., Apr., and Dec. 1876; Feb. and Jun. 1877; and Mar.\n         1878).","Other topics of interest in the \n         White familycorrespondence include: slavery\n         (January 1, 1840; August 26, 1841; April 25 \u0026 November 29,\n         1846; January 23, 1858 and July 16, 1859); the salt\n         merchandising business (November 28, 1842), banking and\n         financial difficulties (February 9, 1843; June 1, 1847; and\n         October 13, \u0026 16, 1857); and cotton prices (January 21,\n         1844; November 23, 1845; February 28, 1846; and April 29,\n         1854).","The fourth group of papers include the legal,\n         miscellaneous, and business papers of the \n         White family.

Some interesting Civil War\n         letters are July 27, Sept 5, 14, \u0026 20, 1861. \n         Howe Peyton Cochranleft the active\n         service when a substitute was bought for him (May 23, 1862). A\n         n.d. letter mentions \n         Monticello hospitalbeing condemned due to\n         Typhoid fever. The letter of August 16, 1863 mentions the\n         deaths of \n         Nannie Cohranand \n         Maggie Cochran.","Letters between \n         Willie Lynn Cochranand his mother \n         Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochranwere written\n         while \n         Willie Lynn Cochranattended school in \n         Brownsburgand mostly contain pleas for\n         more letters from home.","Letters between \n         Howe Peyton Cochranand his wife \n         Nannie L. (Carrington) Cochran(married\n         December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n         personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n         the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n         His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n         officers of \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment ( \n         1st regiment Virginia Artillery) which\n         included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n         Tom Cobb, \n         Howell Cobb, Montagne, Ward, and Major\n         Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n         preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n         February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n         expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n         give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n         battle near \n         Yorktown. The letters of April 1862\n         contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n         Yorktown. The letters of May 9 and 14,\n         1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n         Williamsburgwhich \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment did not\n         participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n         get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n         and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n         teacher at \n         Randolph Macon, becoming a clerk in the\n         war department, or joining his brother \n         James Cochran's unit. A son ( \n         Campbell Carrington Cochran, named for \n         Nannie Cochran's brother who died during\n         the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n         Nannie Cochrandied, apparently as a\n         result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n         1863.","Joseph D.

On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n         battle of \n         Culpepper. A March 31, 1863 letter\n         mentions houses and hospitals being destroyed to use the wood\n         for fuel.

The\n         letters give the progression of \n         John Cochran's sickness which did not\n         improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n         February 1887 after his return to \n         Staunton.","Letters to \n         John Cochrancontains an interesting\n         letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n         hogs.","Letters to \n         Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochrancontain\n         letters from her brother \n         Thomas Preston Lewiswho served with the \n         War Departmentin the 1850's. There are\n         two interesting letters: January 5, 1852 which mentions the\n         visit of a Magyar to \n         Congresswho apparently impressed\n         everyone, and the concern of the American government over \n         Napoleon Bonapartewho was coming to power\n         in \n         France; and, March 6, 1859 which mentions\n         the factional wars going on in congress and the affect it had\n         on the treasury.","The first few letters to \n         Nannie (Carrington) Cochranare from\n         relations and friends unable to attend her and \n         Howe Peyton Cochran's wedding.

There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived the right to\n         practice law in \n         Virginiaon September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n         census bureau(October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n         War Departmentbased on recommendations by\n         Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart(November 15,\n         1850.) \n         Thomas Preston Lewis' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n         Point Pleasantand an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n         Thomas Preston Lewishas at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n         John Buchanan Floyd. October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n         William Sparrow. March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n         Thomas Preston Lewislost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n         Thomas Preston Lewistrying to collect on\n         his debts. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisattempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived help from \n         John F. Lewisin getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n         John F.

The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n         Thomas Preston Lewis.

There\n         is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n         folder. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived the right to\n         practice law in \n         Virginiaon September 3, 1847. He received\n         appointments in the \n         census bureau(October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n         later the \n         War Departmentbased on recommendations by\n         Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart(November 15,\n         1850.) \n         Thomas Preston Lewis' ancestors fought in\n         the battle of \n         Point Pleasantand an attempt had been\n         made to have that battle declared the first of the\n         revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n         contains an inventory of debts \n         Thomas Preston Lewishas at a store and\n         gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n         introduction letters written by \n         John Buchanan Floyd. October 21, 1851\n         (#48) is a letter from \n         William Sparrow. March 6, 1866 (#159)\n         states that \n         Thomas Preston Lewislost all land in the\n         war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n         January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n         Thomas Preston Lewistrying to collect on\n         his debts. \n         Thomas Preston Lewisattempted to have his\n         political disability resulting from service with the\n         confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n         -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n         successful because \n         Thomas Preston Lewisreceived help from \n         John F. Lewisin getting an appointment\n         (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n         John F. Lewishad assisted \n         Thomas Preston Lewisbefore getting him\n         appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n         28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n         B. F. Ballardand mentions that he will\n         call for a new \n         West Virginiaconstitution. Three letters\n         concern the sale of land held in \n         Iowawhich \n         Thomas Preston Lewisgot from his debt\n         collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n         25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n         notice placed by \n         Thomas Preston Lewisto bring all claims\n         for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n         1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n         Rawley Springsin \n         Rockingham County, Virginia. Letters of\n         December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n         18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n         Thomas Preston Lewisstarting and running\n         a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n         successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n         December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n         they can to \n         Thomas Preston Lewis. On September 10,\n         1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n         Floridaschool system.","Letters to \n         Ann M.

A\n         letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n         Mary.","Letters to \n         Joseph Smithcontain many applications for\n         loans. \n         Joseph Smithserved in the \n         General Assemblyfrom December 1, 1817 to\n         February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n         January 26, 1832 from \n         R. S. Brookewhich concerns the debate in\n         the \n         General Assemblyover slavery and the\n         conflict abolition has with personal property and\n         compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n         by \n         Joseph Smithto be $74,900.","Letters to \n         Joseph Smithfrom \n         William Widdifieldare mainly concerned\n         with the collection of a debt from \n         David Paul Brown. A letter of March 3,\n         1862 mentions \n         Joseph Smith's brothers \n         Abraham Smithand \n         Silas H. Smith.","Appointments contain some of the appointments and\n         promotions of the families. \n         James Cochranwas appointed justice of the\n         peace in \n         Augusta countyin 1798. There are \n         Joseph Smith's military promotions while\n         a member of \n         Virginia's 32nd militia. \n         James Cochranwas appointed Postmaster of \n         Folly Millsin 1874.","Business Papers contain bills, receipts and promissory\n         notes.

Items in the business\n         papers include materials pertaining to slaves and slavery,\n         accounts with various merchants, receipts for purchases,\n         receipts for taxes, blacksmith accounts and medical bills. The\n         legal papers of \n         Warner Lewisconsist of various agreements\n         on the transfer of land and apprentices, receipts for court\n         filings and letters requesting Lewis' services as sheriff of \n         Essex(after 1832). Finally, there is a\n         pocket diary in which Lewis made notes on a variety of\n         subjects--ranging from natural phenomena to births on the\n         plantation--as well as several sketches of unidentified\n         people.","Much of the slave material concerns the hiring of slaves\n         temporarily from other plantations and the transfer of slaves\n         from one owner to the next. In one case, Lewis hired a man\n         named \n         Nelsonfrom \n         William Discfor six years beginning in\n         1821 at a price of $30. By 1826, Lewis was able to hire \n         Nelsonfor $10. Other slaves mentioned by\n         name include \n         Alice, \n         Moses(there are two, one hired from \n         Catherine Lataneand the other acting as a\n         courier from \n         John Temple), \n         Glory, \n         Oliverand \n         Humphrey. There is also a list from 1826\n         which lists all the slaves on the \n         Lewis Familyfarm in that year.","The tax records kept by Lewis chronicle the growth of\n         Lewis' plantation. The records cover the years from 1801-1835\n         and detail the exact acreage Lewis owned, the number of slaves\n         living on his land, number and types of livestock and\n         carriages possessed and often the name of the tax collector\n         himself.","Accounts in the business papers of both Lewis and Haile\n         detail the dealings of these men with several merchants and\n         agents, including \n         Reuben Thom, \n         John Belfield, \n         Critcher and Parker, \n         Dobyns and Croxton, \n         R.P.

Reynolds, the local minister; \n         Rich Branton, the boot maker; postal\n         expenses; \n         Joseph Williamsand \n         John Collins, day laborers; \n         David Lipscomb, stabler; and \n         Joseph Adams, the Lewis family tutor.","Another section of the collection consists of bills from\n         medical visits made by local doctors, Gray, Ludlow and\n         Brockenbaugh. The bills detail all services performed by the\n         doctor, including treatment for slaves and members of the\n         households. The bills sometimes mention the names of the\n         various slaves and family members treated.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.
