Jehu A. Orr papers, 1751-1920.

Papers of Jehu Amaziah Orr, scattered in dates and subjects, 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 concentration of papers are 1847-1859 and 1898-1910, the later group containing some items concerning the University of Mississippi during the administration of Gov. James K. Vardeman but consisting primarily of letters among female family members discussing marriages, deaths, and social news.
