Journal of farm accounts at "Chellowe" [manuscript], 1835-1846.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647907129

The journal contains detailed accounts of tobacco and wheat farming expenses and receipts as well as personal and family expenses. The journal begins with entries concerning the administration of the estate of Hubard's mother by his brother Edmund W. Hubard. The journal also contains two lists of slaves with notes on births and deaths including the murder of "Joe" (age 24) by the "other Joe" (age 24), who was condemned to death and then pardoned by Governor Gilmer. Also of interest is an account in another hand of machinations at the Republican state and national conventions in 1896 to control the state chairman and deprive minority delegates of their voice. Men mentioned include Colonel William Lamb, Edmund Waddill, Jr., and Park Agnew. The journal also contains notes on expenses for serving in the Virginia House of Delegates; a list of tolls allowed by law on Willis's River; accounts of bank stock; some tobacco export figures, 1830-1836; accounts for a family trip to White Sulphur and Hot Springs (that sink hole of extravagance, gambling and vice....); house remodeling expenses; some memoranda on the "Rosny Estate" inherited by his wife and the "Tye River Estate" in Nelson County; and advice on debt and economy.
