Papers, 1776-1897 (bulk 1858-1867).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34140755

Primarily correspondence, 1858-1862, of William Goodwyn Ridley (1842-1862) of Southampton County, Va., with his parents and sisters while he attended Brookland School in Albemarle County, Va., and the University of Virginia, and served as a Confederate soldier at Craney Island, Va. Papers of his sister, Elizabeth Norfleet (Ridley) Neeley (b. 1847?), include correspondence, 1862-1867, with her mother, Elizabeth Norfleet (Goodwyn) Ridley, and a commonplace book, 1863, kept while she attended Miss Pegram's School in Richmond. The collection illuminates the education of boys and girls in antebellum Virginia and Confederate camp life during the Civil War. A few papers pertain to other family members.
