Letters, 1810-1827, from James Moore, a onetime resident of York District, S.C., who removed to the old southwest and eventually settled near Natchez, Miss.; letters discuss Moore's early employment as an overseer and his later purchase and operation of his own plantation; Moore's letters from Mississippi to his brother-in-law, David Hutchison, discuss military problems facing planters in the Mississippi delta during the War of 1812 and compare future agricultural prospects in Mississippi and South Carolina. Correspondence and legal documents reflecting the mercantile and banking interests and investments of Hiram Hutchison (ca. 1790-1856), son of David Hutchison, including letters, 1853-1854, between Hiram Hutchison, John L. Manning, and James H. Thornwell re the establishment of a scholarship at South Carolina College. Also includes materials re the settlement of the estate of Hiram Hutchison and the marking of his grave at Greenwood Cemetery (Brooklyn, N.Y.); correspondence and miscellaneous documents re the work of Adolphus Eugene Hutchison (1827-1905) with the Indian Land Chronicle, a York County newspaper, and the establishment in 1880 of the Rock Hill Cotton Factory, the state's first steam-powered cotton mill, for which A.E. Hutchison served as president. Later papers include World War I letters from Hiram Hutchison (1895-1950) written from Camp Sevier (Greenville, S.C.), Ft. Sill (Oklahoma), Ft. Bliss (Texas), and various locations in France and England while serving in American Expeditionary Forces, relating details of his military service in the 118th Infantry, his wounding and hospitalization, and return to South Carolina in 1919.
