Theodore Washington Brevard papers, 1821-1892.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25166291

The papers, though scattered, cover a long span of years relating to T.W. Brevard's early life at Mt. Tirza Forge, Lincoln County, N.C.; his career and marriage to Caroline E. Mays at Columbia, S.C.; his life in Alabama in the 1830s and 1840s; and his career in Florida in the 1850s. Also included are papers relating to members of Brevard's immediate family. The papers consist of family letters; official commissions and appointments chiefly to government positions; a few items relating to the education and Confederate military service of Brevard's sons, Ephraim A. (d. 1871), a physician, Theodore W., Jr., and Mays (d. 1864); and some clippings. Brevard was a lawyer, Alabama state legislator, Macon County, Ala., judge, register of the land office at Tallahassee, Fla., and Comptroller of Public Accounts for the state of Florida, and these activities are reflected in the papers. Also included in the collection is a small diary, 1828, of a trip on horseback and foot through Indian country. The route covered seems to have been from Macon County, N.C., through northern Georgia by Tokoa Falls, and into South Carolina.
