Papers of the Moses T. Hunter family of "Hazelfield," Jefferson County, Va. [now W. Va.], Charlottesville, and Winchester, Va., and the related Alfred C. Weeks family of "Belle Grove," near New Iberia, St. Martin's Parish, La. Letters describe daily life in Virginia and Louisiana in the antebellum, Civil War, and postwar periods. The Weeks family letters describe Civil War campaigns and slave life in southern Louisiana and Texas. Postwar correspondence concerns, in part, a lawsuit over the estate of Mary (Conrad) Weeks Moore (d. 1863), as well as efforts to compile information on the Weeks family's history and genealogy. Significant correspondents include Moses T. Hunter, Sr. (lawyer of Martinsburg, Va. [now W. Va.] and Washington, D.C.), his wife Mary Washington (Snickers) Hunter, and their children, including daughters Frances W. Hunter (of Philadelphia, Pa.) and Nancy Snickers (Hunter) Weeks (of Charlottesville, Va., and St. Martin's Parish, La.), and sons Henry St. George Hunter (while serving in the U.S. Navy in the 1840s and 1850s) and J. Brooke Hunter (as an engineer working on railroads); and sugar planter Alfred C. Weeks, and his brother William F. Weeks (of New Iberia, La.). Also included is an account book, 1862, kept by Alfred C. Weeks after he moved the majority of his slaves to Texas.
