472. McDOWELL FAMILY PAPERS

ca. 600 items, 1792-1852
Largely the papers of Colonel James McDowell of Rockbridge County. These are mainly political in nature, but there are references to slavery, such as a letter from Preston to James McDowell discussing the possibility of selling his slaves and undated lists enumerating prices of slaves. There are many examples of hiring out slaves, e.g., two in 1808.
