Hundley family papers, 1849-1899.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41209196

Letters and a few financial documents, 1849-1899 and undated, of the Hundley family of Stokes County, N.C., and related families. Most of the letters are from John H. Hundley to his wife, Sally W. Hundley, during his service in the 21st North Carolina Infantry Regiment (North Carolina Troops), 1862-1863. All but one of the Civil War letters were written from Virginia, many of them from hospitals. Most letters discuss Hundley's health, but some describe military life, including troop movements. Materials, 1864-1865, include letters of condolence to Sally Hundley and letters lamenting the deaths of family members and difficulties on the homefront, particularly the absence of men in their communities. Letters of 1867 and 1868 give family news and report post-war hard times. Also included are a few pre-war financial papers related to the family's farming and post-war correspondence from individuals who relocated to Missouri and Colorado.
