Abstract | Members and ancestors of the Pugh and Gilliam families resided in the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina. The collection includes bills, receipts, accounts, legal papers and correspondence, and a small amount of personal and political correspondence of various persons in the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina. Many items are papers of two lawyers in the 1840s, Henry A. Gilliam (1819-1891) of Windsor, N.C., and Augustus Moore (1803-1851) of Edenton, N.C. These items relate to bill collecting, shipping, and family matters. Early papers are those of Joseph S. Pugh, and, in the 1820s and 1830s, there are letters of Benajah Nichols about Methodist activities. |
