Cornelia Phillips Spencer, writer and community leader of Chapel Hill, N.C., was the daughter of University of North Carolina mathematics professor James Phillips (1792-1867) and Judith Vermeule Phillips (1796-1881), wife of lawyer James Monroe Spencer (1827-1861), and mother of Julia Spencer Love (b. 1859), who married Harvard University mathematician James Lee Love (1860-1950).
Cornelia Ann Phillips was born 20 March 1825 in Harlem, N.Y., the daughter of James Phillips (1792-1867) and Judith Vermeule Phillips (1796-1881). Her mother, Judith Vermeule, was a member of an old Dutch family that hailed from the Raritan Valley of New Jersey. James Phillips, an Englishman who migrated to America in 1815, moved his family to Chapel Hill, N.C. in 1826, when he became professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina, where he taught until his death in 1867. Cornelia was the youngest of three children. Brother Charles Phillips became professor of mathematics and engineering at the University of North Carolina, and Samuel Field Phillips was the United States solicitor general under President Ulysses S. Grant.
Cornelia grew up in Chapel Hill, and was educated in Latin, Greek, French, and all forms of literature (of which she was especially fond), as well as music, drawing, and needlework.
On 20 June 1855, Cornelia Phillips married James Monroe ( Magnus ) Spencer (1827-1861), a lawyer and alumnus of the University of North Carolina class of 1853. In 1859, four years after the couple had settled in Clinton, Ala., Cornelia gave birth to a daughter, Julia ( June ) James Spencer.
In June 1861, James Monroe Spencer died after a long illness. Several months later, Cornelia Phillips Spencer yielded to her father's pleas to return to Chapel Hill. Here, shortly after the Civil War, she began to make her mark as a writer. In 1866, at the encouragement of her friend, former Governor David Lowry Swain (1801-1868), she published her first work, The Last Ninety Days of the War . In 1869, she wrote Pen and Ink Sketches of the University of North Carolina, and, from 1870 to 1876, wrote a weekly Young Ladies' Column for The Presbyterian . Her frequent articles and letters to editors and state leaders played an important role in the reopening of the University of North Carolina in 1875, and in campaigns for other causes such as the founding of the University Normal School.
In 1894, Cornelia Phillips Spencer moved to Cambridge, Mass., to live with her daughter June, whose husband, James Lee Love (1860-1950), was a professor of mathematics at Harvard. One year later she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of North Carolina, the first such degree given to a woman by the University.
Cornelia Phillips Spencer died on 11 March 1908 in Cambridge.

Battle family. Battle family papers, 1765-1955.
Title:
Battle family papers, 1765-1955.
Papers give detailed coverage of the life of William Horn Battle and his family and many aspects of North Carolina history, including life on the Confederate homefront and social conditions during Reconstruction. There are also materials relating to the Episcopal Church, in which the Battles were active lay members, and some slave bills of sale and Chatham County Railroad items. Papers of Kemp Plummer Battle relate to his interest in the early history of North Carolina and of the University of North Carolina.

Volumes are chiefly student notes and personal accounts kept by William James Battle, 1885-1909. The addition of April 2005 contains correspondence and other papers of Battle family members, mostly Kemp Plummer Battle (1831-1919), but also his wife and children. Professional papers of Kemp Plummer Battle include his notes from the secret sessions of the North Carolina convention of 1861, notes and drafts of articles and speeches by Kemp Plummer Battle, clippings of articles by or about Kemp Plummer Battle, and a few other items. Many letters are from Cornelia Phillips Spencer (1825-1908), whose brother Charles Phillips married Kemp Plummer Battle's aunt, Laura Caroline Battle.

Spencer, Cornelia Phillips, 1825-1908. Cornelia Phillips Spencer papers, 1833-1975 (bulk 1839-1942).
Title:
Cornelia Phillips Spencer papers, 1833-1975 (bulk 1839-1942).
Correspondence, writings, pictures, and other materials relating to Cornelia Phillips Spencer and her family. Much of the material for the period 1866-1883 concerns Chapel Hill friends and neighbors and the effect of Reconstruction on the University of North Carolina. Included are a few letters to Cornelia from her father, 1856-1863, and from North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance, 1865-1872. From April to October 1884, there are many letters to Cornelia from her daughter Julia, who was traveling and studying in England and Germany. Over one-third of the correspondence consists of letters between Cornelia in Chapel Hill and Julia in Cambridge, Mass., 1890-1894. Letters concern personal and public aspects of life in both college towns, the pregnancy and stillbirth experienced by Julia in March 1891, the lives of faculty members at the University of North Carolina and at Harvard, and domestic affairs of the North Carolina and Massachusetts branches of the family. Writings include many songs, poems, articles, and memorials by Cornelia. Volumes include Cornelia's diaries, 1853-1908, and her scrapbooks, some of which contain writings by Cornelia.

Swain, David L. (David Lowry), 1801-1868. David L. Swain papers, 1807-1877 (bulk 1833-1868).
Title:
David L. Swain papers, 1807-1877 (bulk 1833-1868).
The collection includes correspondence relating to Swain's position as president of the University of North Carolina; his interest in the history of North Carolina in the colonial, Revolutionary War, and early national periods; and his activity as a collector of historical manuscripts. Also included are scattered items on politics and on railroad promotion in North Carolina and South Carolina. The few items of earlier and later dates are miscellaneous and family materials, with little relating to Swain's active political career. Papers include correspondence with prominent state leaders and men of national importance in the fields of education and history, including William A. Graham, William H. Battle, William H. Haywood, Elisha Mitchell, John Motley Morehead, Thomas Ruffin, William W. Holden, Charles Phillips, and Cornelia Phillips Spencer. The volume, 1855-1868, contains accounts of debts owed to Swain and a list of his slaves. Also included are typed transcriptions of Swain correspondence, 1827-1868, probably prepared by former Southern Historical Collection Curator Carolyn Wallace as part of her research on Swain in the mid-1970s. These are not transcriptions of the original correspondence in these papers, but are likely transcriptions of original Swain materials held in the North Carolina Collection (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and elsewhere.

Cornelia Phillips Spencer Papers, 1833-1975, (bulk 1833-1942)
Title:
Cornelia Phillips Spencer Papers, 1833-1975 (bulk 1833-1942)
Cornelia Phillips Spencer, writer and community leader of Chapel Hill, N.C., was the daughter of University of North Carolina mathematics professor James Phillips (1792-1867) and Judith Vermeule Phillips (1796-1881), wife of lawyer James Monroe Spencer (1827-1861), and mother of Julia Spencer Love (b. 1859), who married Harvard University mathematician James Lee Love (1860-1950). The collection includes correspondence, writings, pictures, and other materials relating to Cornelia Phillips Spencer and her family. Much of the material for the period 1866-1883 concerns Chapel Hill friends and neighbors and the effect of Reconstruction on the University of North Carolina. Included are a few letters to Cornelia from her father, 1856-1863, and from North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance, 1865-1872. From April to October 1884, there are many letters to Cornelia from her daughter Julia, who was traveling and studying in England and Germany. Over one-third of the correspondence consists of letters between Cornelia in Chapel Hill and Julia in Cambridge, Mass., 1890-1894. Letters concern personal and public aspects of life in both college towns, the pregnancy and stillbirth experienced by Julia in March 1891, the lives of faculty members at the University of North Carolina and at Harvard, and domestic affairs of the North Carolina and Massachusetts branches of the family. Writings include many songs, poems, articles, and memorials by Cornelia. Volumes include Cornelia's diaries, 1853-1908, and her scrapbooks, some of which contain writings by Cornelia. There are also many volumes of James Phillips's lecture notes. Pictures are chiefly of family members. Also included are typed transcriptions of most of the correspondence, as well as transcriptions of letters, writings, and other materials of Cornelia from published and manuscript sources, many of which were produced in conjunction with Louis Round Wilson's editing of Cornelia's papers for publication.
