Hubbard Taylor papers, 1772-1858 1780-1838 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/15216611

The material is comprised primarily of correspondence concerning Kentucky land transactions, although some personal and political correspondence is included, as are numerous financial records and a few memorandum books. Several of the letters concern personal and family affairs and are written by Taylor, his father James Taylor IV, and his brother, General James Taylor, the founder of Newport, Kentucky. Numerous letters are related to politics, including relations with France and England in the early years of the Republic, the War of 1812, and Kentucky politics. Several of the latter include correspondence from Kentucky Senator George M. Bibb (1776-1859) and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Anthony Butler, concerning the gubernatorial election of 1820 (won by John Adair [1757-1840]) and the controversy about debt relief, which was the primary issue in the campaign.
