Papers, 1830-1867.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20769664

Business and personal correspondence of Henry and John Garst, operators of two Roanoke County, Va., sawmills and a flour mill, and probably brothers. John Garst's papers, largely personal, cover the years 1830-1849. Among the Henry Garst papers is a petition from the citizens of Roanoke County to James A. Seddon, Confederate secretary of war, requesting that Henry Garst be exempted from military duty in order to operate his flour mill; a certificate excusing Henry from military duty for sixty days in order to serve as miller in Roanoke County; tax in kind assessments; notice of the impressment of his mill to furnish Confederate supplies; rationing slips given to civilians to get flour and meal from the mill; and three volumes of records for the flour mill and one for the sawmill.
