201. BAYLOR FAMILY PAPERS
ca. 1,600 items, ca. 1760-1905
Correspondence and other papers of this New Market,
Caroline County, family. An October 2,
1804, letter from David Morrow to
John Baylor says that Baylor's servant Ned wanted to have money paid directly to him for
work done rather than through Baylor. There are
references in the business and legal papers to slavery; an 1865 farm account book contains entries entitled
"Servants Accounts."
