John Wilson Cunningham Papers, . 1854-1869

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Cunningham,John_Wilson.html

John Wilson Cunningham was an agriculturalist and state Democratic Party leader, from Person County, N.C. Wilson served in the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1844 and 1864-1865, and later in the state Senate. The collection includes chiefly letters to Cunningham from Calvin Henderson Wiley (1819-1887), a classmate at the University of North Carolina and apparently the real author of Cunningham's political speeches, and copies of political writings. Also included are Cunningham's records as executor of the estate of Dr. Matthew M. Harrison of Brunswick County, Va.; other legal papers; receipts; and miscellaneous other documents.
