Abstract | Missouri E. Eley, daughter of Susan E. Vann and Lawrence Eley of Murfreesboro, Hertford County, N.C., married George T. Darden of Hertford County in 1862. They had at least one child, named Eley, born in 1863 or 1864. The collection is a diary, 1861-1865, 77 p., of Missouri Eley Darden and two love letters, 1837-1838, from Darden's father to her mother before their marriage. Darden's diary chiefly documents daily activities such as visiting, sewing, and leisurely pastimes, and includes some religious reflections and other personal comments. The most regular entries in the diary were made during 1862. Personal concerns mentioned include Darden's marriage and George Darden's imprisonment in the Union prison at Elmira, N.Y. |
