Treadway collection, 1811-1954 (inclusive), 1811-1865 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702167021

Chiefly miscellaneous letters and legal documents connected with the Civil War and land transactions in Virginia. The Civil War papers include letters from Lt. Col. Andrew Terry, among them one describing the capture of Roanoke Island in 1862. The Virginia papers are largely records of the Lee and Fendall families (1811-1865). In addition there is a letter written by Henry Clay on the election of 1848. A small number of papers pertain to Morton C. Treadway, the collector of these items, and document his activities as treasurer of the Horton Manufacturing Company and his service as treasurer of the Yale College class of 1910.
