238. BURWELL FAMILY PAPERS
ca. 250 items, 1734-1893
Business and personal papers, chiefly those of Colonel Lewis Burwell of Kings
Mill near Williamsburg and of the family of
Bedford County. A seventeen-page manuscript by
William Burwell reviews the economic
conditions of blacks in the South in the 1870s, and a November 1853
letter to C. K. Marshall apparently from William
Burwell discusses the relationship of blacks in southern society.
Correspondence in the 1840s and
1850s examines the influence of slavery on national politics.
