Abstract | MICROFILM ONLY. Papers of ancestors of Willie Jones Long, including letters and papers of various members of the Burton, Joyner, Mason, and Gray families and their connections. The largest part of the collection is the correspondence, 1828-1870, of Sarah Jones Burton Joyner, who married Andrew Joyner of Halifax County, N.C., in 1839. There is little material pertaining to Mrs. Joyner's first husband, North Carolina governor Hutchins Gordon Burton (1774-1836), although letters of Burton's children are intermingled. Notable among these are business papers and letters, 1850s, of Thomas Burke Burton, farming in Halifax County, N.C., and elsewhere, and letters, 1860s, to and from Mary Burke Alston. Also included is correspondence of Mrs. Joyner's sister, Martha Jones Eppes, with her relations, among them members of the Hubard family on their plantation in Buckingham County, Va., 1860-1870. These family lettters concern deaths of friends and relations, crops, labor, post-Civil War poverty, and property matters. Later items are chiefly scattered letters and other personal, legal, and business papers of William Henry Gray and of Thomas Williams Mason (1839-1921), both of Northampton County, N.C. |
