ca. 1,000 items, 1798-1861, microfilm (M-621)
Business, legal, and personal papers of Colonel Walter S. Fontaine of Buckingham County and of the Fontaine, Brown, Thompson and allied families. There are letters and business records regarding the sale of slaves, such as a March 21, 1817, letter from Benjamin Lewis to Fontaine asking him to sell two slaves but to try to respect the slaves' wishes to remain in the neighborhood, if possible, and testimony from relatives and neighbors regarding an accusation that overseer Christopher Johnson beat a slave to death.
