http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33427798

Correspondence of the Leonard, Cavin, and related Troutman, Brown, Freeland, Hibbits, and other families, mostly about routine family matters. Included are letters in the 1850s describing John Y. Cavin's teaching activities in Texas. The few letters with references to the Civil War are from Milas Cavin, who served with Confederate forces in 1864. After the turn of the century, there are occasional letters of Wyatt Cavin, who lived in Rocky Mount, N.C., and worked for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad from around 1890 into the 1930s. In 1906-1907, there are courtship letters to Pearle Leonard from various suitors, and, in 1944, there is a letter of Wade Leonard Cavin detailing his World War II activities. Financial and legal materials include deeds, indentures, wills, receipts, accounting sheets, and estate papers relating to Bustle, Troutman, Leonard, and Cavin family members. Also included are clippings; school materials, including lists of school rules; and family photographs, all of which are unidentified.
