Beaman and Robinson Family Papers, 1811-1883 (bulk 1833-1869)

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/b/Beaman_and_Robinson_Family.html

John Robert Beaman (1813-1892) spent his life in Sampson County, N.C. He married Elizabeth Robinson (1817-1895) in 1837 and built a house in Clinton, N.C. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Robinson (1792-1851), who was involved with a hotel. Both men were involved in the sale and hiring out of slaves, as well as the use of indentured servants. The Beaman and Robinson family papers consist of documentation of legal and financial transactions entered into by John Robert Beaman, John Robinson, or Robinson's agent, John Carroll. Included are indentures; bills of sale for slaves; notices of debts owed or paid; deeds of gift; wills; assessments of property; informal accounting lists; a survey of the Clinton Academy property; and correspondence of a financial nature. There is also a small number of the items relating to individuals with unspecified or unknown connections to either Beaman or Robinson, chiefly I. B. Cox and Charles Harrison.
