Arthur Middleton was the son of Nathaniel Russell Middleton (1810-1890) and Margaret Emma Izard. Born in 1832 in Charleston, S.C., he attended Sachleben's School and Charleston College. He married Julia Emma Rhett in 1853. During the Civil War, Middleton volunteered in the Santee Rifles; was transferred to the Engineer Corps; and, upon the loss of an eye, worked in the Quartermaster's Department. He returned after the war to his Daisy Bank Plantation on the Santee River and later moved to Charleston. The collection includes scattered items, mostly letters and other personal papers, chiefly 1851-1865, of Arthur Middleton; his grandmother, Alicia Hopton Russell Middleton; and others. Papers include bonds, a receipt, certificates, and a newspaper clipping about Middleton's grandfather, Arthur Middleton (1785-1837). Topics include Middleton's discharge from the Confederate Army; Alice I. Heyward's estate, for which Middleton served as executor; Middleton's finances; and family news.
