Watson and Pierpont regarding debt and their coal mining partnership (ca. 1872, undated); documents regarding a feud between Pierpont and G.W. Atkinson (ca. 1880); materials used by Charles Ambler to research his book about Pierpont (1841-1886, 1934-1935, undated); and other items.","This series includes over 850 original and facsimile telegrams, most of which are addressed to Pierpont. He was elected governor of the \"Loyal\" or \"Restored\" Government of Virginia, which was formed in Wheeling shortly after the state's Richmond government left the Union to join the Confederacy in May 1861. The bulk of the telegrams span 1861-1863, documenting Pierpont's efforts to maintain Union rule in western Virginia during the first two years of the Civil War. Concerning matters such as military personnel and recruitment, troop movements and engagements, orders, and provisions, the telegrams provide nearly a daily record of military developments in western Virginia during this period. Spellings and punctuation in the transcriptions provided in the Contents List are maintained from the original documents. Notable correspondents include Arthur I. Boreman, John S. Carlile, Thomas M. Harris, Abraham Lincoln (facsimiles), J.A.J. Lightburn, George B. McClellan, J.C. Paxton, J.C. Rathbone, W.S. Rosecrans, William H. Seward, Edwin M. Stanton, Benjamin F. Wade, and others.","Digitized copies and transcriptions of the majority of this series can be found online at the Francis H. Pierpont Civil War Telegram Series 1861-1865 website.","This series includes pamphlets on the Knights of the Golden Circle (Copperheads), slavery, Reconstruction, education, terms of governors, Proceedings of the Society of the Army of West Virginia, and various other topics.","This series includes scrapbooks of newspaper clippings. The clippings touch on all aspects of Pierpont's life, including his involvement in West Virginia becoming a state and news stories of his death from major newspapers around the country. Some of the scrapbooks are published books into which newspaper clippings have been pasted over the existing text. Some of the scrapbooks were likely created by Francis H. Pierpont, while others were probably created by Anna Pierpont Siviter and William H. Siviter.","This series includes scrapbooks related to the writings and professional activities of Anna Pierpont Siviter and her husband William H. Siviter. Some of the scrapbooks are published books into which newspaper clippings have been pasted over the existing text. Scrapbooks include newspaper clippings from William Siviter's career as a published humorist and featured column writer for newspapers in the Pittsburgh area, the Derrick (Oil City, PA), Puck, and others; clippings of articles by Anna Siviter for various newspapers and the Methodist newsletter, The Family Visitor; correspondence; theater programs; and Pittsburgh area letterhead and handbills.","This series includes certificates, invitations, the diary of an unknown Pierpont family member, and other items. Notable items include Francis H. Pierpont's membership certificate for the Society of the Army of West Virginia (1872), invitations to the weddings of Anna Pierpont Siviter and her daughter Frances Pierpont Siviter Pryor (1886-1917), and Republican National Convention tickets (1884).","This series contains ribbons worn by Pierpont, including a Society of the Army of West Virginia ribbon and a Grand Army of the Republic ribbon.","This series includes oversized materials such as land grants and indentures, a Virginia military commission, broadsides, a letter, maps, and Civil War newspaper clippings.

Pierpont, Julia Augusta Robertson Pierpont, their children who survived to adulthood (Samuel \"Sammie\", Anna \"Nannie\" or \"Pierrie\", and Francis William \"Willie\"), and their son-in-law William Henry \"Harry\" Siviter, to each other. Topics generally include politics, family matters, health, daily life, and travel.","This series includes writings, speeches, drafts of letters, and pamphlets by Pierpont from his college days until the time of his death. Contains originals, typescript copies, and photostat copies. Topics include the West Virginia statehood movement, politics, slavery, and other issues surrounding the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Robertson Pierpont's pocket diary (1852); Francis H. Pierpont's deeds, business papers, and receipts (1816-1896); legal documents pertaining to a lawsuit between James O. Watson and Pierpont regarding debt and their coal mining partnership (ca. 1872, undated); documents regarding a feud between Pierpont and G.W. Atkinson (ca. 1880); materials used by Charles Ambler to research his book about Pierpont (1841-1886, 1934-1935, undated); and other items.","This series includes over 850 original and facsimile telegrams, most of which are addressed to Pierpont. He was elected governor of the \"Loyal\" or \"Restored\" Government of Virginia, which was formed in Wheeling shortly after the state's Richmond government left the Union to join the Confederacy in May 1861. The bulk of the telegrams span 1861-1863, documenting Pierpont's efforts to maintain Union rule in western Virginia during the first two years of the Civil War. Concerning matters such as military personnel and recruitment, troop movements and engagements, orders, and provisions, the telegrams provide nearly a daily record of military developments in western Virginia during this period. Spellings and punctuation in the transcriptions provided in the Contents List are maintained from the original documents. Notable correspondents include Arthur I. Boreman, John S. Carlile, Thomas M. Harris, Abraham Lincoln (facsimiles), J.A.J. Lightburn, George B. McClellan, J.C. Paxton, J.C. Rathbone, W.S. Rosecrans, William H. Seward, Edwin M. Stanton, Benjamin F. Wade, and others.","Digitized copies and transcriptions of the majority of this series can be found online at the Francis H. Pierpont Civil War Telegram Series 1861-1865 website.","This series includes pamphlets on the Knights of the Golden Circle (Copperheads), slavery, Reconstruction, education, terms of governors, Proceedings of the Society of the Army of West Virginia, and various other topics.","This series includes scrapbooks of newspaper clippings. The clippings touch on all aspects of Pierpont's life, including his involvement in West Virginia becoming a state and news stories of his death from major newspapers around the country. Some of the scrapbooks are published books into which newspaper clippings have been pasted over the existing text. Some of the scrapbooks were likely created by Francis H. Pierpont, while others were probably created by Anna Pierpont Siviter and William H. Siviter.","This series includes scrapbooks related to the writings and professional activities of Anna Pierpont Siviter and her husband William H. Siviter. Some of the scrapbooks are published books into which newspaper clippings have been pasted over the existing text. Scrapbooks include newspaper clippings from William Siviter's career as a published humorist and featured column writer for newspapers in the Pittsburgh area, the Derrick (Oil City, PA), Puck, and others; clippings of articles by Anna Siviter for various newspapers and the Methodist newsletter, The Family Visitor; correspondence; theater programs; and Pittsburgh area letterhead and handbills.","This series includes certificates, invitations, the diary of an unknown Pierpont family member, and other items. Notable items include Francis H. Pierpont's membership certificate for the Society of the Army of West Virginia (1872), invitations to the weddings of Anna Pierpont Siviter and her daughter Frances Pierpont Siviter Pryor (1886-1917), and Republican National Convention tickets (1884).","This series contains ribbons worn by Pierpont, including a Society of the Army of West Virginia ribbon and a Grand Army of the Republic ribbon.","This series includes oversized materials such as land grants and indentures, a Virginia military commission, broadsides, a letter, maps, and Civil War newspaper clippings.
