Correspondence and legal documents relating to law firm of M.C. Butler and LeRoy Youmans; partnership dissolved ca. 1872-1875; John Calhoun Sheppard (1850-1931), who read law under Butler and Youmans prior to 1871, joined the firm which then operated as Youmans and Sheppard until Sheppard joined his brother Orlando in an Edgefield law firm that operated for decades. Butler and Youmans apparently chiefly handled small claims cases and property disputes in Edgefield District, a large area now under the jurisdiction of Saluda and Edgefield Counties, and portions of the later counties of Aiken, McCormick and Greenwood.
