Abstract | The Lenoir family settled primarily in North Carolina and Tennessee. This collection consists largely of personal letters addressed to Albert Sobieski Lenoir (1803-1861) and Catharine Frieling Welcker (Lenoir) and to George Lewis Welcker (d. 1848), from their large family connection in North Carolina and Tennessee and from Welcker's friends in the army. There are also papers relating to Albert S. Lenoir's work as Federal issuing agent to the Cherokee Indians, and his business and planting interests, and to Welcker's army engineering work. The later papers are of the next generation. The seventeen volumes are farm records, commonplace books, and albums. |
