http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647896848

Holland and White family papers include correspondence, business and legal papers, genealogical information and miscellaneous printed material. Correspondence, 1837-1859, discusses slave hiring and prices; livestock prices; an 1856 drought in Kentucky; a religious camp meeting in Sussex, Va; and a school girl's life at the Albemarle Female Institute, the Fluvanna Female Institute, and Beaumont. There are very brief comments on the Jefferson Society, University of Virginia, and a preacher named Cumberland George. Business papers, 1775-1926, comprise the bulk of the collection and consist of accounts, receipts, promissory notes, tax notices, and miscellaneous papers most of which concern the business affairs of Captain John White, a planter, and John C. Holland, and attorney. Among them are records of the overseers of the poor for Fluvanna County; Lyles [Church?] Missionary Society records; and a slave purchase receipt. There are also estate settlement documents; tuition receipts; tobacco and wheat accounts; slave accounts including a medical bill; other medical and dental accounts; and receipts for supplies requisitioned in 1865 for soldiers' families. Legal papers deal chiefly with land transactions and estates in Fluvanna County, Va., but also include a miitia appointment certificate. A memorandum book of James P. White, 1857-1864, contains notes on farming and financial matters including slave sale and hiring records; tobacco, lumber and crop sales; hog butchering; and Lyles Church. Genealogy material contains notes of the wills of members of the Parish, Perkins, Shepherd, Seay, and Holland families of Fluvanna County, as well as notes on marriages in Palmyra (Fluvanna Co.) and Goochland County.
