papers","Charlottesville (Va.) -- History -- 19th Century","Charlottesville (Va.) -- History -- 20th century","practice of law -- Virginia","lawyers -- Virginia","The papers are organized into 8 series: 1st-6th series concern the law practice; 7th series, the insurance business; and the 8th, family business.","Series I. Incoming letters (boxes 1-43) -- From 1869 to 1923 (and occasionally through the 1940's) incoming letters were filed separately from other material. From 1899 to 1923 all incoming letters were stored annually in special file boxes arranged alphabetically by correspondent's name. The papers in this series are arranged as they were found.","Series II. Copies of outgoing letters (boxes 44-57) -- From the 1870's through the teens copies of outgoing letters were kept chronologically in letterpress books. The books are stored in chronological order.","Series III. Case files (boxes 58-125) -- The case files date back to 1874, but are concentrated between 1920 and 1955. While the dates of these case files overlap the chronological ones described above, case files were by no means regularly created until the early twenties when the other system was virtually abandoned. Since many, but not all, of the case files were numbered, it was impossible to restore them to numerical order. Therefore, they have been grouped into decades and then arranged alphabetically by title found on the original folder. If the original folder was numbered, that number is noted on the new one. The cases concern principally the settlement of debts, property and divorce, as well as, for the last few decades, insurance claims.","Series IV. Legal documents (boxes 126-145) -- These documents, originally stored apart from case files, are organized chronologically according to type of document, the largest groups of which are deeds (1885-1929) and titles (1876-1936). Also included in this series are documents related to specific cases (ca. 1870-1925), to the coal business, and to miscellaneous matters (ca. 1800-1950).","Series V. Financial papers (boxes 146-167 and oversize) -- The financial papers were likewise apparently filed separately in the office. They include notes, bonds, collections, accounts, bills, taxes, etc., and are arranged alphabetically (ca. 1870-1950). Ledgers containing the same sort of financial records are organized by size.","Series VI. General office correspondendence and cases (boxes 168-185) -- This alphabetical file, ca. 1920-1955, was apparently created for routine correspondence concerning clients and office matters. For some reason, certain cases were also incorporated into the alphabetical system, despite the fact that numbered case files continued to be created until the practice closed. (To complicate matters a bit further, there seem to have been two alphabetical files used consecutively. These have now been merged into one.) This series contains correspondence and case files, desk diaries, memoranda, unfiled office papers, and files relating to the insurance companies Eskridge represented.","Series VII. Insurance agency files (boxes 186-217) -- These files of the Insurance Agency of Charlottesville, 1923-1927, cover the period in which W.F. Carter, Jr., was agent. At the beginning of the series are documents concerning the audit of the agency and the subsequent incorporation.","Series VIII. Family business files, civic material and miscellany (boxes 218-232) -- These records, dating from the 1880's, provide a good deal of information about the financial affairs of the Charlottesville Dukes as well as their relatives.","Richard Thomas Walker Duke, son of Richard and Maria Walker Duke, was born 6 June 1822 in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he spent his childhood. After attending private schools, he entered Virginia Military Institute and finished second in the class of 1845. Upon graduating he taught school in Lewisburg, Virginia (now West Virginia), but returned to Charlottesville when his father died in 1849, and began studying law at the University. In 1850, he started his own law practice, and over the next ten years built a law office, was chosen one of Charlottesville's first aldermen, served briefly as mayor, and became commonwealth's attorney. He married Elizabeth Scott Eskridge of Staunton, and they had two sons, William and R. T. W. Jr. (Tom), and a daughter, Mary, all of whom lived to adulthood; two other children died in childhood.","As colonel of the 48th Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers, R. T. W. Duke took an active role in the Civil War. In 1864, he resigned his commission because of a dispute with a superior officer, but re-enlisted thirty days later. He surrendered with his troops at Silas Creek in 1865, and returned to his law practice and position as commonwealth's attorney. From that time on, Duke was known as \"the Colonel,\" and in honor of his service in the recent war, the local camp for the Sons of Confederate Veterans was named for him.","In 1863 Duke bought Sunnyside, a 70-acre tract of land northeast of Charlottesville (on which the Law School is now located), and farmed this property until his death. He was chosen secretary/treasurer of the board of trustees of the Samuel Miller Fund, established in 1869. In 1870, Duke assumed the fifth district's Congressional seat for two terms as a member of the Conservative party. Lobbying for a strong South throughout his term, Duke actively opposed the 14th Amendment. R. T. W. Duke died after a lingering illness in the summer of 1898.","William R. Duke, born in 1849, possessed his father's farming instincts and commitment to political involvement. Together they farmed and resided at Sunnyside, whose ownership William shared with his brother Tom after their father's death. Although William studied law at Virginia, and in 1883 joined his father's law practice, he devoted more energy to farming and such groups as the Virginia Cattlemen's Association. In 1897 he was elected delegate to the Virginia General Assembly. Like his father, William was also involved in local affairs, serving, for example, as clerk of the Miller Fund board of trustees for many years. William died in 1929 and was survived by his sons, William (Billy) and Camman.","Since he was born in 1853, Richard Thomas Walker Duke Jr. (Tom) witnessed the Civil War during his impressionable boyhood years and later wrote about those experiences. A gifted writer and student of languages, Tom studied classics, French, German, and English literature when he entered the University of Virginia in 1870. He was awarded the Thomas Jefferson Prize for the best essay in 1872, and then turned his attention to the study of law in 1873-74. It is likely that he later read law for a time in his father's office before passing the bar. Although the practice of law became his career, Duke wrote prose and poetry the rest of his life, and was published in the New York Herald and such magazines as Century, Lippincott's, and Illustrated American.","Throughout his long career, Tom was active in town, University, and state affairs. Among the organizations in which he held office were the Masons, Zeta Psi fraternity, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Miller Board, the UVA Alumni Association, and the state Democratic Committee. He served from 1886 to 1901 as judge of the Corporation Court (now called the Circuit Court), as commonwealth's attorney from 1916 to 1920, and as a member of the Committee to Revise the Virginia Code in 1908. In addition, he sat on the boards of a variety of corporations, including the Charlottesville Ice Company, the First National Bank, and a number of Kentucky and West Virginia coal development companies in which his family had invested. From 1907 to 1910, Tom edited the Virginia Law Journal.","Tom Duke married Edith Ridgeway Slaughter in 1884, and they produced six children, of whom five grew to maturity: Mary, R. T. W. III (Walker), John Flavel Slaughter (Jack), William Eskridge, and Helen Risdon. He built a spacious home for his family at 616 Park Street. A frequent traveller because of his practice, Duke also travelled for pleasure. As the children grew up, Edith often accompanied him to New York or Washington to shop, visit friends and attend plays, or she took journeys alone to visit children and other relatives. All the Duke children, as they reached their teens, attended boarding school, and all received at least some college education. Edith Duke died suddenly in 1921, and two years later, Tom married Maymee Richardson Slaughter, his wife's sister-in-law from Lynchburg. In March of 1926 Tom died at the age of 76.","Walker, after a few years in the Navy, joined the Army and became a career officer. Jack served in the Army during World War I, and then began a career in business. In 1917, Eskridge took a law degree at Virginia and joined his father's practice. He was plagued by ill-health throughout his career, and soon after their father's death, his sister Mary, a former social worker, began assisting in the law office. Helen, a librarian, worked in New York and Norfolk for a year or so before moving back to the family home. Eskridge and his wife, Lucy Lee, had three children, of whom two, William Eskridge Jr. (Bill) and Lucy Marshall, grew to adulthood. Jack died in 1933; Eskridge, in 1959; Walker, in 1960; Mary, in 1966; and Helen, in 1984.","The Charlottesville law practice established by R. T. W. Duke in 1850 remained in the family for two succeeding generations. After studying law with John B. Minor at the University of Virginia, Duke practiced alone until 1858, when he built his office at 20 Court House Square and took James D. Jones as a partner. Another lawyer, Louis G. Hanckel, joined the firm in the early seventies and handled insurance business. When Tom finished his legal studies in 1874, he assisted his father, whose partner by then was Stephen V. Southall. In the 1880's the firm was called Duke and Duke, William having joined his father shortly before Tom became judge.","The early work of the firm was limited to real estate, debt collection, and probate work, with an occasional criminal case. In addition, there was ample time for all three lawyers to pursue their assorted outside interests. At the office each man wrote his own letters, Tom switching to a Remington typewriter in 1889, before the days when they could hire a stenographer. The Dukes handled property rentals for some of their clients, the wealthiest and best known of whom was Jefferson Levy, owner of Monticello, the Opera House, and a great deal of other property in town.","With the combination of \"the Colonel's\" death, the social and economic changes in town around the turn of the century, and the energetic leadership of Tom, the workload of the practice increased and became more diverse. Loan and bond operations were added to the civil and criminal work and property management. Around 1917, Eskridge and Clarence E. Gentry joined the firm, now called Duke, Duke and Gentry. The law office was torn down in 1922, and the firm moved to a building shared with other lawyers at the corner of Fifth and Jefferson Streets. The practice flourished, and the Dukes often hired Virginia law students or graduates as clerks or associates, including Elizabeth Tompkins (the first female graduate of the Law School), Bernard Chamberlain, Anna Dinwiddie, and John Yancy.","It has not been determined whether the Dukes sold insurance after Hanckel left, but some time after Eskridge joined the firm in the late teens, the Insurance Agency was established. The title was changed to the Insurance Agency of Charlottesville in 1923, when W. F. Carter Jr. as agent. After Carter misappropriated funds, he was relieved of his job, the agency was incorporated, and the Dukes' interest in the business was eventually bought out by William B. Murphy.","Eskridge carried on the law practice with the assistance of Mary and an occasional associate. In 1937, he wrote that his firm \"is regional and local counsel for a number of insurance companies, Virginia counsel for the Pike Coal Company, and does a general legal business, specializing in insurance, real estate, corporation and probate law, also maintains a collection department.\" With his failing health in the late forties, the practice dwindled until 1955, when Duke and Duke closed a little over a hundred years after it began.","The Duke law firm papers include correspondence, case files, legal, insuarance, and financial records, as well as ledgers. The files provide extensive documentation of a small-town family practice. Since the insurance business and the Dukes's family business affairs were handled in the same office as the law practice, these files had remained with the legal files. The family correspondence found with these papers was transferred to Special Collections in Alderman Library. ","The Duke papers were transferred from the first Duke office to the second Duke office, finally to their third office on Park Street, where they apparently were shifted more than once. Things were unavoidably jumbled, but the order within the cartons, the types of file boxes and folders, and the dates made it possible to reconstruct the original filing arrangements.","This collection is rich in source material for scholars of legal, social, or local history. The first area of research focuses on the changes in the character of this small-town law practice from the post-Civil War to the post-World War II periods. There are well-documented accounts in the shifts in the type of legal work the law firm handled, the daily office operations over the years, the economic vicissitudes of the practice, and the attitudes of three generations of lawyers. There is information on the political, economic, and social conditions of the Charlottesville area during the time span of the Dukes' law practice.","Arthur J.

Financial papers (boxes 146-167 and oversize) -- The financial papers were likewise apparently filed separately in the office. They include notes, bonds, collections, accounts, bills, taxes, etc., and are arranged alphabetically (ca. 1870-1950). Ledgers containing the same sort of financial records are organized by size.","Series VI. General office correspondendence and cases (boxes 168-185) -- This alphabetical file, ca. 1920-1955, was apparently created for routine correspondence concerning clients and office matters. For some reason, certain cases were also incorporated into the alphabetical system, despite the fact that numbered case files continued to be created until the practice closed. (To complicate matters a bit further, there seem to have been two alphabetical files used consecutively. These have now been merged into one.) This series contains correspondence and case files, desk diaries, memoranda, unfiled office papers, and files relating to the insurance companies Eskridge represented.","Series VII. Insurance agency files (boxes 186-217) -- These files of the Insurance Agency of Charlottesville, 1923-1927, cover the period in which W.F. Carter, Jr., was agent. At the beginning of the series are documents concerning the audit of the agency and the subsequent incorporation.","Series VIII. Family business files, civic material and miscellany (boxes 218-232) -- These records, dating from the 1880's, provide a good deal of information about the financial affairs of the Charlottesville Dukes as well as their relatives."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRichard Thomas Walker Duke, son of Richard and Maria Walker Duke, was born 6 June 1822 in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he spent his childhood.

A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901. These contain some\n         information on agriculture and the culture of \n          Australia . Some of the letters from \n          Charles W. Dabney to \n          A.J. Bondurant (1881-1898) discuss iron\n         ore and mineral rights in \n          Virginia as well as agriculture.","The Civil War and its affects is another subject to be\n         found in the correspondence. Letters from \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant to \n          Alexander J. Bondurant mention her\n         brothers' war activities and posts (29 Jul, 8 Aug, and 11 Aug\n         1862; 6 [Apr] and 22 Apr 1863; 1 Mar, 28 Mar, 5 Apr 1865). A\n         13 May 1863 letter from \n          Thomas Lee Bondurant to \n          A.J.Bondurant mentions the reaction to the\n         death of General \n          Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson . Letters to \n          E.M. Bondurant from \n          A.J. Bondurant mention the war and his\n         desire to support the army (12 Apr, 27 Apr, 26 May 1863). Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865). Letters to Rev.\n          James Morrison mention the early rumblings\n         of the Civil War and rumors of secession (25 Jul, 20 Oct, 9\n         Nov, 4 Dec 1860), as well as letters from his sons telling of\n         their posts (20 Feb, 4 Dec 1863; 14 Jan, 21 May 1863).","Politics is also a prominent subject in some of the\n         correspondence. The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J. Morrison from Rev. \n          James Morrison (1820-1826) are concerned\n         with family matters, friends in the ministry, questions and\n         and advice about the ministry, the Presbytery and synods.\n         Letters to Rev. \n          James Morrison (1813-1863, n.d.) contain\n         many similar topics and include family letters and letters\n         from friends and relatives in the ministry.","","University of Virginia.

A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901.

Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865).

The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J. Morrison from Rev. \n          James Morrison (1820-1826) are concerned\n         with family matters, friends in the ministry, questions and\n         and advice about the ministry, the Presbytery and synods.\n         Letters to Rev. \n          James Morrison (1813-1863, n.d.) contain\n         many similar topics and include family letters and letters\n         from friends and relatives in the ministry.","","University of Virginia.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. 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. 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. 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                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                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. 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). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n            pertaining to the sojourn of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n             England prior to and during the\n            Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n            Colonel \n             John Baylor's son at school in \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n            intentions of returning to the \n             United States (December 28, 1770); the\n            advice of \n             William Bond, a former teacher of \n             John Baylor, for him to seek further\n            educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n            return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n             William Bond's request for \n             John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n            and to visit \n             England (May 4, 1778); \n             John Baylor's trip to \n             England to wed his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n            the Baylor's leaving \n             England, and comments concerning the\n            fashions and decadence of \n             England (May 4, 1779).

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. 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. 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. 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                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                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. 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). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n            pertaining to the sojourn of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n             England prior to and during the\n            Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n            Colonel \n             John Baylor's son at school in \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n            intentions of returning to the \n             United States (December 28, 1770); the\n            advice of \n             William Bond, a former teacher of \n             John Baylor, for him to seek further\n            educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n            return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n             William Bond's request for \n             John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n            and to visit \n             England (May 4, 1778); \n             John Baylor's trip to \n             England to wed his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n            the Baylor's leaving \n             England, and comments concerning the\n            fashions and decadence of \n             England (May 4, 1779).
