Carmichael and Jenkins Family Papers, 1779-1896 and undated

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Carmichael_and_Jenkins_Family.html

John F. Carmichael (1761-1837) of Fort Adams, Miss., and Pinckneyville, Miss., U.S. Army surgeon, cotton planter, postmaster, and collector for the Mississippi District for the United States Treasury; John Carmichael Jenkins (d. 1855), doctor, horticulturist, and cotton planter of Natchez, Miss.; and an unidentified individual, surname Winchester (possibly Josiah Winchester, who served as guardian to Jenkins's children after Jenkins's death). Both Carmichael and Jenkins were natives of Pennsylvania. Papers include correspondence with cotton factors, business agents, and overseers; business and personal accounts and receipts; legal papers; medical notes; lists of supplies; and other items. Items, 1779-1834, belong, with one exception, to John F. Carmichael. Items dated 1833, 1838-1855, belong to John Carmichael Jenkins, and four items, 1871-1872, 1882, and 1896, are possibly those of Josiah Winchester. Undated papers belong mostly to Jenkins, with a few for Carmichael. Carmichael's papers document medical supplies and postal accounts at Fort Adams, Miss.; shipping along the Mississippi River between Natchez, Miss., and New Orleans, La.; and the sale of cotton grown at his Cold Spring Plantation in Wilkinson County, Miss. Jenkins's papers document crops and the work of slaves on River Place Plantation in Adams County, Miss.; the cotton market; experimentation with fruit growing; outbreaks of disease in and around Natchez; and, to a small extent, Jenkins family life and activities at Elgin Plantation outside Natchez, where Jenkins seems to have operated an apothecary.
