http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/s/Saunders,Joseph_Hubbard.html

Joseph Hubbard Saunders (1839-1885) was a planter and Confederate officer of Orange County, N.C. The bulk of the collection consists of family correspondence and business papers after the Civil War, but there is some Civil War material, including letters written home by Saunders while he was an officer of the 33rd North Carolina Regiment in Virginia and eastern North Carolina, and in prison at Johnsons Island, Ohio, and letters he received from other soldiers. Antebellum papers pertain to his mother's family, the Bakers of North Carolina, and to his father, also Joseph Hubbard Saunders (1800-1839), an Episcopal priest of North Carolina and Florida. Postwar material includes correspondence and accounts relating to cotton growing and marketing, including accounts with commission merchants, and personal accounts for lumber, groceries, furniture, and medical care.
