208. BLACKWELL FAMILY PAPERS
15 items, ca. 1840-48
Personal correspondence of Elizabeth Blackwell and family members of
Fauquier County. There is some mention of
slaves, such as a letter of June 22, n.y., from
Octavia noting that a slave tried to get away
in Cincinnati as they were going to Missouri and a letter of June
30, n.y., from Sarah T. Buckner who
wanted to collect on a loan so that she could buy a slave's husband and send
them both west.
