Alexander, James

This collection contains four documents and two fragments pertaining to the debts of James Alexander. In order of chronology, one document refers to the hiring of Alexander by the Washington College Board of Trustees to build the cupola that sits on top of Washington Hall (circa 1843). The two fragments pieces appear to be from the same document, which was a deed between Robert White and Alexander (April 14, 1843). Robert White was a trustee at Washington College. The deed is referenced in another document in the collection dated March 24, 1845. There is a legal document outlining Alexander's failure to pay rent on his house to Matthew White (March 27, 1844). The March 24, 1845 document is a lawsuit filed by Alexander against Washington College for breach of contract. The last item is a document dated February 7, 1868 doesn't appear to have a direct connection to Alexander but is a legal document regarding the Lexington Hotel.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
