Jehu A. Orr Papers, . 1751-1920

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/o/Orr,Jehu_A.html

Jehu Amaziah Orr (1828-1921) was a Columbus, Miss., lawyer, judge, and Confederate congressman. Papers of Jehu Amaziah Orr, scattered in dates and subjects, are chiefly legal and personal in nature. There is some very dispersed correspondence pertaining to state and national politics, but not to secession or the Confederate Congress. The greatest concentrations of papers are 1847-1859 and 1898-1910, with the later group containing some items concerning the University of Mississippi during the administration of Governor James K. Vardeman but consisting primarily of letters among female family members discussing marriages, deaths, and social news.
