John Haywood Papers, 1790-1903

1790-1903

https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/01901/

John Haywood (1765-1826) was treasurer of North Carolina, 1787-1827, and member of the board of trustees of the University of North Carolina, 1789-1827. Other persons represented in the collection include his son, George Washington Haywood (1802-1890), lawyer of Raleigh, N.C.; George's nephew, Joseph A. Haywood (born 1843), of Raleigh, N.C.; and Joseph's daughter, Martha A. Haywood. The John Haywood items, 1790-1826, are scattered and disconnected in nature, and many are badly damaged. Correspondents include Samuel Ashe, John Hogg, Samuel Johnston, and Thomas Ruffin, and Alexander Martin, Benjamin Rush, and A. C. Thomas, all of Philadelphia, Pa. Topics include primarily personal business and family affairs, but some mention is made of North Carolina financial conditions. The papers of George Washington Haywood, 1835-1867, relate to his legal business and clients, but include a series of letters addressed to Emsley Burgess and his wife, Nancy, of Franklinton, Randolph County, N.C., written by their children and other relatives in scattered places. Their connection to the Haywoods is unclear. Joseph A. Haywood items include correspondence, 1885, concerning his attempt to patent a grinding mill. Martha A. Haywood items include a volume, 1902-1903, containing accounts and a draft of a romantic novel.
