469. MAURY FAMILY PAPERS

ca. 600 items, ca. 1770-1915
Private and business correspondence of this Albemarle County family, mainly of James Maury. The correspondence is predominantly about business, but the letters of Matthew Maury to his brother James do > contain much family material and consequently information on family slaves such as a December 1797 letter telling James of the selling of an estate and the disposition of the slaves.
