Papers of Bennett Taylor, [manuscript] 1851-1898.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647911314

Letters written to Taylor when a student at the University of Virginia and prisoner at Johnson's Island, Lake Erie constitute the bulk of the collections. Others were written by him from Radford, Montgomery Co., where he had gone to practice law. Most of the letters contain family news. Those from the Civil War concern efforts of Taylor's northern relatives, the Coolidge family, to have him paroled. The collection also contains a biography of Taylor by his daughter Patsy Jefferson Taylor, a Colston family genealogy, and a joint memorial to Jane Hollins Randolph and Meriwether Lewis Randolph.
