Upon settling in Spotsylvania County, he adopted the anglicized surname Redd, married a niece of Governor Spottswood (Miss Moore), and had three sons: John Rufus, Thomas, and George. ","His eldest son, Col. John Rufus Redd, was born in Spotsylvania County, educated in Virginia and England, served in the House of Burgesses, participated in the French and Indian Wars, and subsequently moved to Buckingham County. He married a granddaughter of Governor Spottswood and daughter of Captain Nathaniel Dandridge. He and his wife had eleven children – six sons and five daughters – and Col. Redd was wounded at the Battle of Camden (1780) during the Revolutionary War. ","Major John Redd (b. October 20, 1755, Buckingham County, Virginia; d. August 11, 1850, Henry County, Virginia), the eldest son of Col. John Rufus Redd, relocated to Henry County (then part of Halifax County) at approximately age seventeen. He volunteered for military service at the outset of the Revolutionary War under Captain Bryce Martin, rose to the rank of Major of Cavalry, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. He married Mary Waller, daughter of Col. George Waller, a fellow Revolutionary officer, and had ten children. He served as a representative of Henry County in the Virginia Legislature for approximately twenty years, including the 1798–1799 session. He resided at a property called Marrowbone in the southern portion of Henry County, where he was interred in a family cemetery. His will and estate documentation establish activity in the county from approximately the 1780s through his death. ","Eugene Mason Redd (fl. c. 1835–1926) and James M. Redd (J.M. Redd) are the principal family figures documented in the later portions of this collection. Both are represented through agricultural account books (c. 1871–1915, 1901–1906, 1909–1919), receipts (c. 1896–1926), and papers related to the Virginia Electric Cooperative (c. 1899–1943). Estate documentation for James Redd extends the record to 1971. ","Ethel Blaine Tompkins Redd connected the Redd family to the Tompkins and Blaine families. Her father, Metellas Woods Tompkins, is represented by papers dating to approximately 1890. Dr. Hamilton L. Blaine, whose documents and certificates span 1850–1917, is documented in association with the Blaine family line. The Redd and Tompkins family records (c. 1835–1948) reflect the combined households and shared property interests of these families. ","The Redd family held the Bellevette home tract, for which a chain of custody is documented from approximately 1745 to 1972. Family members also participated in the United Daughters of the Confederacy, evidenced by a 1943 application in the collection. ","This collection contains correspondence, deeds, estate indentures, account books, receipts notebooks, photographs, carte-de-visite, genealogical research and trees, clippings, a tintype, and ephemera, including wallets, a metal box, and a lock of hair documenting the Rose, Redd, and Claiborne families of Virginia. Names frequently appearing in papers include Eugene M. Redd and his son James Redd. Also included are Ezra Morrison, Mattie Tompkins, Clarence Redd, Jessie Redd McCarthy, Rachel Ayers, Blaine McCarthy Willett, John McCarthy, and the Blain family. The papers document genealogical research and track land purchase and holding, including the Bellevette, a Robert Rose property that has passed down to his descendants, in Nelson County. Also included is correspondence from the turn of the century regarding the Central Virginia Electric Cooperative, a private, not-for-profit cooperative that has provided electricity to customers.","Miscellaneous materials including Heads of Families First Census of the United States: 1790, postcards, ephemera, photocopies of maps, plots, and notes.","This folder contains a photograph of a 1957 \"Naval Review of Fleets\" in Virginia, a hand-drawn coat of arms for the Claiborne family, an 1803 land deed signed by Governor John Page, a page of 1924 graduates of the Washington College of Law with Mattie Thompkins circled, and two manuscript indentures frome the 1771 and 1792.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MSS.16944","Archival Resource Key","/repositories/3/resources/1879"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Rose, Redd, and Claiborne family papers"],"collection_title_tesim":["Rose, Redd, and Claiborne family papers"],"collection_ssim":["Rose, Redd, and Claiborne family papers"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"geogname_ssm":["Virginia -- History -- 19th Century","Virginia -- History -- 21st century"],"geogname_ssim":["Virginia -- History -- 19th Century","Virginia -- History -- 21st century"],"places_ssim":["Virginia -- History -- 19th Century","Virginia -- History -- 21st century"],"access_subjects_ssim":["Deeds -- United States","Genealogy","Account books"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Deeds -- United States","Genealogy","Account books"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["Fair.

John Rufus Redd, was born in Spotsylvania County, educated in Virginia and England, served in the House of Burgesses, participated in the French and Indian Wars, and subsequently moved to Buckingham County. He married a granddaughter of Governor Spottswood and daughter of Captain Nathaniel Dandridge. He and his wife had eleven children – six sons and five daughters – and Col. Redd was wounded at the Battle of Camden (1780) during the Revolutionary War. ","Major John Redd (b. October 20, 1755, Buckingham County, Virginia; d. August 11, 1850, Henry County, Virginia), the eldest son of Col. John Rufus Redd, relocated to Henry County (then part of Halifax County) at approximately age seventeen. He volunteered for military service at the outset of the Revolutionary War under Captain Bryce Martin, rose to the rank of Major of Cavalry, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. He married Mary Waller, daughter of Col. George Waller, a fellow Revolutionary officer, and had ten children. He served as a representative of Henry County in the Virginia Legislature for approximately twenty years, including the 1798–1799 session. He resided at a property called Marrowbone in the southern portion of Henry County, where he was interred in a family cemetery. His will and estate documentation establish activity in the county from approximately the 1780s through his death. ","Eugene Mason Redd (fl. c. 1835–1926) and James M. Redd (J.M. Redd) are the principal family figures documented in the later portions of this collection. Both are represented through agricultural account books (c. 1871–1915, 1901–1906, 1909–1919), receipts (c. 1896–1926), and papers related to the Virginia Electric Cooperative (c. 1899–1943). Estate documentation for James Redd extends the record to 1971. ","Ethel Blaine Tompkins Redd connected the Redd family to the Tompkins and Blaine families. Her father, Metellas Woods Tompkins, is represented by papers dating to approximately 1890. Dr. Hamilton L. Blaine, whose documents and certificates span 1850–1917, is documented in association with the Blaine family line. The Redd and Tompkins family records (c. 1835–1948) reflect the combined households and shared property interests of these families. ","The Redd family held the Bellevette home tract, for which a chain of custody is documented from approximately 1745 to 1972. Family members also participated in the United Daughters of the Confederacy, evidenced by a 1943 application in the collection.

He was educated at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University)and accepted a teaching position in Fredericksburg, Virginia at the Classical and Scientific Athenaeum in 1842. While there he met and married Mildred \"Milly\"Morton (1825-1906?) in 1846, daughter of Jeremiah Morton (1799-1872) and Mary Eleanor \"Jane\" Smith Morton (1801-1876) from Morton Hall (\"The Hall\" near \"Lessland\") an estate in Racoon Ford, Orange County, Virginia. He was admitted into the bar in 1847 and moved to the Morton plantation to farm and practice law in Culpeper County, Virginia. ","He became an increasingly close friend and business associate of his father-in-law Jeremiah Morton. Halsey served as a captain in the 6th Virginia Calvalry Regiment during the Civil War. In 1863, in response to a charge that he had been away without leave, Halsey wrote an account of his wartime activities until that time: a cycle of activity, failing health, leave, recovery, and return. After the war, Halsey was a shareholder of the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad, owned a saw mill operation and mining operations, and was an Emigrant Aid and Homestead Company agent for the sale of large tracts of Virginia land. ","A large landowner and important political figure in the region, Jeremiah Morton lived at his nearby plantation \"The Hall\" (locally known as Morton Hall). . . According to family tradition, Morton christened the 441-acre tract Lessland because it contained 'less land' than his other properties Moreland and Stillmore.\"Lessland\" was damaged by fire in 1870 and was rebuilt in 1871 by J. J. Halsey who had purchased the land from his father-in-law in 1854. Halsey died at \"Lessland\" in 1907.","J. J. Halsey and Jeremiah Morton were strong supporters of the South and its institution of Enslavery. Halsey's correspondence with his brother Edmund Halsey and Samuel Halsey showed their different views of the North and South on subjects such as slavery, abolitionism, secession, the elections of Presidents Buchanan and Lincoln, the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, reconstruction, and the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.","The Morton-Halsey family had many enslaved persons who are mentioned by first names, Douglass, Edmonia \"Monie,\" Jerdome, Lucas, Melinda, Judy, Linda, and George to name a few. There is an account in the correspondence that Joseph Morton \"Mort\" Halsey had an encounter with \"Lummie\" (Columbia Conway who was employed by the family) and she became pregnant with his child and took him to court. J. J. Halsey often writes negative accounts of African Americans.","Jeremiah Morton was born in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County, Virginia, on September 3, 1799. He was the son of Jeremiah Morton and Mildred Garnett Jackson. He was left without parents at a very young age. It is likely he was raised by his paternal grandmother, Jane Morton. He attended a private school and Washington College (now Washington and Lee University), in Lexington, Virginia from 1814 thru 1815. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1819, studied law, and was admitted to the bar. He practiced at Raccoon Ford, Virginia until sickness (probably from his earlier engagement in the war) ended his legal career. He then engaged in agricultural and political pursuits.","He was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-first Congress and served from March 4, 1849 until March 3, 1851. He was unsuccessful for reelection to the Thirty-second Congress and resumed agricultural pursuits. He was a member of the State secession convention in 1861 and was appointed as a colonel in the cavalry by Virginia Governor John Letcher. He attempted to amass food during the shortages of 1864. He was appointed trustee of the Theological Seminary of Virginia at Alexandria. He died at Lessland in Orange County, Virginia on November 28, 1878 and was buried in a private cemetery at his old home Morton Hall. He may have suffered later in life from failed ventures including the purchase of Sulpur White Springs. Several family members throughout his line struggled with mental illness and the ailment alcoholism.Family and business fortunes plummeted following the Confederate defeat. He wrote about it to his brother, Senator Jackson Morton of Milton, Florida; and Jackson's son, W. Chase Morton; and with Henry Ahrens, a Florida businessman.","J. J.
