Snead series, 1796-1918.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25924005

This small series contains some extremely interesting correspondence such as James Tillman's letters written while he served in the Confederate Army, 1862-1864; a large number of letters written by Benjamin Tillman to his future wife, Sally Stark in 1866-1867; and letters from his daughter Adeline before her tragic death in 1896. There are also some legal papers related to land transfers in Edgefield County, 1796-1868. Although many of the legal documents involve members of the Tillamn family, there are items from approximately a dozen other persons with non-Tillman surnames. There are also several property transfers of slaves among members of the Tillman family, 1857; the will of Senator Tillman's father, 1844; an inventory of the estate of Benjamin Tillman, 1850; and documentation of sharecropping by Sophie Tillman's former slaves, 1865. The series also contains an essay by Benjamin Tillman on "Politeness", 1864.

.5 cubic ft. Two folders of photographs are in the Photograph Series as well as several oversize items.
