William Acy, Jr. papers, 1844-1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122573802

Correspondence, legal, and financial papers of William Acy, Jr. The personal papers consist primarily of correspondence with relatives and friends of Baltimore, Maryland. Letters (1882-1884) from Francis T. Nicholls provide advice to Acy on legal matters involving Acy's properties, and letters from his son, C. C. Acy, describe conditions and management problems at Standley Plantation in Greenwood, Mississippi. Legal and business documents include commissions signed by Louisiana Governors Hebert, Wickliffe, and Moore confirming Acy's elections as Justice of the Peace of Ascension Parish; papers relative to the estates of William Acy, Sr., and Acy's first wife, Margaret Stansbury; and deeds and other papers regarding property Acy acquired in Louisiana and Mississippi. The progression of a lawsuit filed against Acy by his nephew, William B. Lynam, is reflected in the correspondence and copies of court records. Financial papers include cancelled checks, tax receipts, bills, invoices, and manuscript volumes of accounts. Family photographs, a map of Baltimore, miscellaneous newspapers, memorandum books, notes on Acy family genealogy, and printed volumes and ephemera complete this collection.
