35. LEVEN POWELL PAPERS

93 items, 1774-1806
Personal, military, and political letters of this soldier and politician from Middleburg. In the personal letters are mentions of slaves including a June 9, 1797, letter from Leven to Burr Powell in Kentucky explaining that Leven's slave John was put in jail "because he was making wild threats and drinking too much." There is also a mention of Blacks in Lord Dunmore's army in 1776.
