Tazewell family. Papers, 1756-1931.

Title: Papers, 1756-1931.

The papers of Henry Tazewell (1753-1799) and Littleton Waller Tazewell (1774-1860) constitute the majority of the records in this collection. Though numerous receipts and vouchers are included, the extensive number and range of more important papers reflect the prominence of the Tazewell family in Virginia's history. The earliest Tazewell papers are chiefly wills and legal papers relating to land titles, many of them copies, but filed under the original date. From 1762-1799, letters are interspersed with legal documents and business papers relating to the Tazewell's of their clients. From 1800-1859, the papers are chiefly those of Littleton Waller Tazewell or his son, John Nivison Tazewell. Correspondence between members of the family illustrates the life of an upper class Virginia family of the period, with a great deal of information about the family plantations, letters from the son at school (Harvard, William & Mary, University of Virginia, & Princeton). The material also sheds some light on Norfolk history, and it has important papers reflecting national history in the 1820's and 1830's. The material from the 1860's deals chiefly with the career of Edmund Bradford, husband of Anne Elizabeth Tazewell, an officer in the Confederate Army. There are a few letters from Mrs. Bradford at Charlotte Court House, giving her impressions of the last days of the Civil War. Dated materials are arranged chronologically in boxes 1-19: box 1, 1650-1799; box 2, 1780-1788; box 3, 1789-1795; box 4, 1796-1801; box 5, 1802-1804; box 6, 1805-1811; box 7, 1812-1818; box 8, 1819-1821; box 9, 1822-1824; box 10, 1825; box 11, 1826; box 12, 1827-1829; box 13, 1830-1831; box 14, 1832-1834; box 15, 1835-1839; box 16, 1840-1843; box 17, 1844-1847; box 18, 1848-1863; box 19, 1864-1899.

Dallas, Alexander James, 1759-1817. Letter, 1798 Feb. 3, [to] Rob[er]t E. Griffith.

Title: Letter, 1798 Feb. 3, [to] Rob[er]t E. Griffith.

Discussing various legal questions in reference to legalities and legitimacy of Griffith's claim to the "Salvadore tract," [an area now within Greenwood County, S.C., named during Colonial period for Joseph Salvador (1700?-1786)] mentioning an arrangement between Pierce Butler and [William] Blount, [the impeached senator from Tennessee and former governor of the lands south of the Ohio]. Dallas notes an arrangement by which Butler "obtained a conveyance of all the Governor's property, as an additional Security for paying the original consideration money on the Sale of the Salvadore tract," advising him to take certain precautions, and concluding "my mind is still assured of the soundness of your title ... and though you will probably be embarrassed by Maj. Butler's opposition, I think the object worth pursuing."
