Berry, Randolph Carter. Randolph Carter Berry papers, 1843-1940, (bulk 1900-1904).

Title: Randolph Carter Berry papers, 1843-1940, (bulk 1900-1904).

The personal correspondence of Randolph Carter Berry (1886-1936) largely concerns the contest with her Uncle Charles for the control of her father's estate; correspondents are C.L. Carter and F.E. Dycus. Other correspondence concerns the Texas Centennial Central Exposition. Two letters collected by Berry for their historical importance and written by Anson Jones (1845) and Sam Houston (1848) are arranged as the series of Collected papers. Of interest is a broadside advertising town lots in a new community in Hale County, Runningwater, Texas. Newspaper clippings reveal Berry's interest in Texas history. The series Creative works contains materials concerned with family history including a genealogical chart tracing the Carter family line in Virginia from "King" Carter. Notes and memoranda written by Berry on scraps of paper and envelopes illuminate her thoughts, feelings, and research concerning her family and her father's papers. Many of her notes were also written directly on documents within the Champe Carter Family Papers. The map is of Aransas Pass, Texas.
