(Withers) Tavenner. During Tavenner's childhood the family lived in Weston, (West) Virginia. The extended family had ties to Lewis County, Harrison County, and Wood County. Tavenner had three siblings, a younger brother, Thomas Alexander (referred to as \"Tat\" in the letters), and two sisters, Elizabeth M. and Jennet A. (who is often referred to as \"Jen\" in the letters). William Tavenner's paternal grandfather was Colonel Thomas Tavenner, one of the early settlers of Wood county and a prominent man in local affairs. Tavenner's maternal grandfather was Alexander Scott Withers, the author of \"Chronicles of Border Warfare\", an important early history of the settlement of western Virginia. Two of Tavenner's maternal aunts also appear in the collection's correspondence, including Mrs. Mary T. Owen of Galveston, Texas (referred to as \"Poca\" in letters), and Elizabeth Ann Thornhill of New Orleans (referred to as \"Bettie\").","The exact date and circumstances of Tavenner's entry into the military are unknown. He was stationed in New Orleans during the first years of the war, later moving northward to Virginia sometime between the spring of 1862 and January 1863. He was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the newly formed 17th Virginia Volunteer Cavalry Regiment in January 1863. Tavenner was fatally wounded at the Battle of Monocacy on 9 July 1864. He died of his injuries on 11 July 1863 at the nearby Gambrill Mill, which was used as a field hospital after the battle.","For more genealogical and historical information regarding the Tavenner family, see: A\u0026M 81; Cook, Roy Bird (1886-1961), Collector.

Tavenner's mother Jennet and her father, Colonel Thomas Tavenner, and her siblings, mostly regarding the death of Jennet's husband Cabell Tavenner and the disposal of his property. Mentioned in one of the letters is the steamship Landis, which was part of the Confederate Navy during the Civil War.","This series includes correspondence between William C. Tavenner and his mother, sister, and other family members, mostly concerning Tavenner's military service and the Civil War; and correspondence between Tavenner and members of the Confederate Army. Letters dating between 1860 and 1862 were sent while Tavenner was living in or stationed in New Orleans. Letters between Tavenner and his family discuss the possibility that western Virginia will secede along with other Southern states and Tavenner's willingness to fight. Tavenner also asks for more frequent letters from his family, news from western Virginia, and local newspapers. While in New Orleans he remarks upon railroad transportation, food prices, health conditions, and the mood of residents in their speculation of imminent attack. Military correspondence includes a letter from a Colonel Ferguson (most likely Milton J. Ferguson) informing Tavenner of his election to the position of Lt. Colonel (28 January 1863).
