Glenn Drayton journal, 1814-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28412651

Bound volume consisting of Drayton's rules of conduct expected of a U.S. sailor, 1814; and records, 1814-1864, of Rusticello plantation, Pendleton District, S.C., continued after Drayton's death. Drayton's entries consist of hand-written guide, 1814, "Internal Rules and Regulations to be observed on board the United States Frigate Constellation, Charles Gordon, Esqr., Commander"; a scale drawing of the "Constellation," showing the hold stocked with barrels, and dimensions of the ship; and an original water color, presumably executed by Drayton, entitled, "America Must Have a Navy," with patriotic image of eagle and U.S. flags above a ship under construction in dry-dock. After Drayton's death, volume served as a plantation account book in upstate, S.C.; entries include medicinal recipes and treatments; list of slave illnesses and vaccinations, 1845-1861; and a record documenting births, baptisms, and deaths, 1814-1864, among the African American slaves of Rusticello plantation in Pendleton District [a region later divided into Pickens County and Oconee County].
