James Lyle Campbell papers, 1781-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19276526

Correspondence and legal and business papers of the Campbell and related Lyle, McKeowen, Henshaw, Burns, and Tabb families, centering around the career of James Lyle Campbell but also covering that of his father, James, and of his son, James W. The bulk of the collection consists of legal papers, receipts, bills, land deeds and indentures, wills, estate and executors' papers, and court orders and opinions. Family correspondence comments on life in Berkeley County, Va.; farming in Virginia and Missouri; commodity and cattle prices in Missouri; Kansas and the "border ruffians;" railroads; politics, especially the Know-Nothing Party; and Confederate sentiment. There is also a Ledger E (355 pgs., dated 1800-1807), likely maintained by Campbell's father, for a general store. Entries primarily date from 1800-1803, and the store was possibly located in Martinsburg, W.Va. Includes a substantial number of enties for whiskey, brandy, and tobacco, and occasional entries for agricultural labor and iron.
