http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647938071

The collection contains the correspondence of three generations of the Hubard family of Virginia and West Virginia planters, lawyers and politicians. The papers of Robert Thruston Hubard [1808-1871] of Rosney and Chellowe, Buckingham Co. Va., contain letters from his brother Edmund Wilcox Hubard and his son at V. M. I. James Linnaeus Hubard. Genealogy, U. S. politics and farming are frequent topics. Most of the papers of Robert Thruston Hubbard [1839-1921] were generated by his law practice and businesses, including the presidency of the Orange-Keysville Railway. There are a few Civil War letters and copies of political letters between his father-in-law John R. Edmunds and Walter Coles as well as some genealogical material. The bulk of the papers of Robert Thruston Hubard [1876- ],a Fayetteville, W. Va. lawyer, consists of correspondence with his wife Ruth Drewry Whittle Hubard, their children, and relatives. Family papers include land grants, wills, deeds, court orders, maps and plats, stocks and Confederate bonds, plantation journals, insurance policies, bills and receipts, and estate settlements. There are numerous clippings, greeting cards, invitations, photographs, school reports and miscellany.

Ohio; Also a denouncement of Martin Van Buren for turning a relative out of office; an effort to discredit the log cabin campaign of 1840; an 1844 letter to Thomas Ritchie on the annexation of Texas; an account of a visit to V.
