McGee family papers, 1852-1935.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32246251

Chiefly correspondence of members of the McGee family of North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. Also included are materials of the Dean, Jones, and Reed families. Early materials, 1852-1859, include letters from H. J. Dean in Columbia, S.C., to his wife Mary Owen Dean, concerning his work as a legislative clerk and news of family and events at home in Spartanburg, S.C. Beginning in 1854, there are materials relating to McGee & Williams, merchants in Raleigh, N.C. Beginning in 1855, many letters are from Thaddeus McGee in Raleigh or traveling on business to his wife Sallie in Halifax, Va. During the Civil War, many items relate to the difficulties McGee & Williams experienced as they tried to locate goods to sell. Beginning in 1866, there are family letters to Sallie and Thaddeus, now both in Raleigh, from various relatives in Virginia, New Jersey, and Brooklyn, N.Y. Some letters relate to their children--William, who occasionally wrote home about his activities in New York, and Harriet, who, in the early 1880s, attended Greensboro Female College, from which she wrote frequent letters to Sallie, occasionally mentioning her school activities. Love letters, 1883-1885, document the courtship of Harriet and Welford C. Reed of South Boston, Va. Materials in 1885 are chiefly love letters of the couple, who apparently married that year.
