Joseph Dickson (1749-1822) settled in what is now Greenbrier County, West Virginia, from Ireland by way of Pennsylvania in the 1770s. He received land grants originally from the King's land office in 1769, and later from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1785, 1789, and 1795 for property on Howard's Creek. His son, Robert Dickson (1795-1869?), inherited the land and built Locust Hill in 1833, now called Mountain Home. Robert Renick Dickson (1827-1888) and Henry Frazier Dickson (1841-1909), Robert Dickson's sons, inherited the land and in turn left it to their heirs. The Dicksons turned Mountain Home near White Sulphur Springs into a resort in the 1800s and early 1900s. The property and home were owned by the family until they were sold in 1968.","The guide to the Dickson Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Dickson Family Papers was completed prior to 2001.","The papers consist largely of land, property, and goods transaction receipts and documents of each of the four generations of the Dickson Family, who originally settled in what is now Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in the 1770s. Certificates, oaths, correspondence, deeds, and a diary are included in Joseph Dickson's papers, along with several sale documents for enslaved people from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Much of the land and goods and many of the enslaved people were exchanged with neighbors and others in the area. Most of Joseph Dickson's documents are individually described in this inventory. The papers of John Dickson (1737-1809, brother of Joseph Dickson), Robert Dickson, Robert Renick Dickson and Henry Frazier Dickson, and Geraldine Dickson Burrow (1879-1943, daughter of Henry Frazier Dickson), are grouped by type of material (for example, financial accounts, correspondence, and land deeds). Within Robert Dickson's correspondence are a few references to the American Civil War, including a letter from a Confederate tax collector demanding payment of his 1863 Confederate taxes. Other interesting documents include the transcript (1916) of the trial of Sallie Dickson (wife of Robert Renick Dickson) who was sued by Henry Frazier Dickson, for payment of rent due to him. The papers also include genealogy charts of the family.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.\n        John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.\n        All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.\n        \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General.\n        \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory.\n        The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897).

The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.\n        John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.\n        All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.\n        \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General.\n        \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky.
