John and Virginia Adkins Coleman papers, 1861-1881 1861-1863.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/777981890

The John and Virginia Adkins Coleman Papers were acquired from Virginia Bounds in 2005 Spring when local historian Doug Guthrie brought them to the attention of The Texas Collection. The collection was last processed in 2005 Spring. At the time this finding aid was written, the papers were filed with 10 other collections in a single box. The collection begins chronologically in 1861 with a letter from John N. Coleman to his fiancée Jennie Adkins. The collection ends with a series of letters between Eloise Tippins and Louis Lenz in 1963 about getting photocopies made of the muster roll and other documentation. The correspondence series is by far the largest in the collection.
