Papers of John Adams, 1842-1943 (bulk 1872-1912).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136065

The papers of John Adams consist chiefly of financial and legal items pertaining to property transactions in Henrico County, Richmond and Petersburg together with insurance policies and several items pertinent to his last illness and death including a photocopy of his will. The majority of papers in the collection were generated by Adams' son Joseph, a Richmond, Va., plasterer, member of civic and social organizations including a masonic lodge, and executor of his father's estate. There are a few items of Octavia Adams, widow of John, chiefly re her husband's estate. Joseph's wife, Cora Ann Adams, and his brother, John H. Adams, are also represented by deeds and miscellaneous financial and legal papers. With these papers are a few items pertinent to the family of Isaac A. Goddin, a white notary public and land agent of Richmond, Va. Miscellaneous items of interest include an 1845 indenture for the sale of property held in trust for the children of a Richmond "free woman of color," commencement programs, 1888 and 1889, from the Richmond Normal School, and a printed protest, 1899, regarding a religious dispute at the Virginia Baptist State Convention.
