Ella Noland MacKenzie papers, 1841-1886 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26319490

The collection includes family and personal correspondence of Ella Noland MacKenzie. Letters were written while Ella was in school in Virginia and Baltimore, Md.; visiting her aunt, Sara (Hollingsworth) Gibson, wife of Dr. William Gibson (1877-1868), in Philadelphia, Pa.; and after her marriage in 1852 to John Carrerre MacKenzie (died 1866), a Baltimore physician. Included are letters from the Nolands and other relatives in Virginia and from members of the MacKenzie family and friends in Baltimore, pertaining chiefly to plantation life, social conditions, and women's activities. Incidents of particular note include a slave uprising, 1856, near Glen Ora; the departure in 1864 of one branch of the family for Europe in voluntary or involuntary exile; and the arrest of John C. MacKenzie as a Confederate sympathizer. Postwar items are scattered, with only slight information on John and Ella's son, Dr. John Noland MacKenzie (1853-1925), a noted throat specialist.
