WILLIAM L. CANDLER LETTER TO CHARLES AUGUST EVARD, 1849
William L. Candler, of Staunton, Virginia, writes to his brother-in-law and sister,
complaining about his life in Staunton, “the dullest place I ever saw.” He asks about his mother
and Elizabeth [perhaps a sister] and requests that John [perhaps a brother] send him a Lynchburg
newspaper.
CHARLES AUGUST EVARD (1819-1853
Charles August Evard, watchmaker of Lynchburg, Virginia, was born 25 May 1817 in
Switzerland. He immigrated to the United States on 8 March 1839 and settled in Lynchburg. He
was admitted as a citizen on 3 July 1848. He married Catherine Candler on 15 July 1845.
Charles August Evard died on 4 December 1853 and is buried in the Presbyterian
Cemetery in Lynchburg.
[Nothing further is known at present concerning William L. Candler, other than being the
brother of Catherine Candler Evard.]

GEORGE WASHINGTON CLEMENT (1819-1910) ACCOUNT BOOKS
The collection includes two account books (ca.1840-1858) kept by George
Washington CLEMENT for his Mt. Zion farm property and for his store. Mt. Zion is
located in Campbell County, Virginia.
[BOX 1] Account Book 1857-1858
[BOX 2] Account Book 1840-1850
GEORGE WASHINGTON CLEMENT (1819-1910)
George Washington CLEMENT, son of Adam CLEMENT, Jr., and Nancy
ALEXANDER, was born 1 March 1819 in Campbell County, Virginia. He married 2
January 1841 Sarah Isabella CLEMENT, daughter of Dr. George Washington
CLEMENT and Stella SMITH, of Franklin County, Virginia. He operated a store and
farm near Mt. Zion in Campbell County. George Washington CLEMENT died 10
September 1910.
[Mrs. N. E. Clement, "Notes on the Clement Family," Mss., Juliet Fauntleroy Papers, MS1387, Folder 2-9,
Jones Memorial Library, Lynchburg, VA; Marshall Wingfield, Marriage Bonds of Franklin County,
Virginia 1786-1858 (Baltimore: Clearfield, 1991), p. 59; George Washington Clement Account Books,
Mss., MS1049, Jones Memorial Library, Lynchburg, VA; 1850 Census, Campbell County, VA, National
Archives and Records Service, M-432, Roll 938, p. 278, Dwelling 612, Family 622; 1870 Census,
Campbell County, VA, National Archives and Records Service, M-593, Roll 1638, p. 72, Dwelling 996,
Family 1036. Although the marriage record indicates the bride to be "Sarah J. Clement," examination of the
census records and the account books reveals the name to be "Sarah I. Clement," perhaps "Sarah Isabella
Clement," which corresponds with information given in "Notes on the Clement Family."]

WAUGH'S FERRY ACCOUNT BOOKS
The collection includes two account books (1848-1849) listing items purchased,
probably from a store at WAUGH's Ferry, rather than accounts of the ferry itself, which
operated on the James River. The ferry operated between Amherst County and Bedford
County, Virginia.
[BOX 1] Account Book (1848-1849) - I
[BOX 2] Account Book (1848-1849) - II
WAUGH'S FERRY
WAUGH's Ferry was established by an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia,
passed on 6 January 1807. The act stated "that [a] public [ferry] shall be constantly kept
at the following [place], and the rates of passing the same as followeth...from the land of
James WAUGH, in the county of Amherst, across Fluvanna [James] River, to the land of
Tamerlane William Whiting DAVIES on the opposite shore in the county of Bedford, the
price for a man six and one quarter cents, and for an horse the same..." According to one
local historian, the "WAUGH's Ferry, east of Snowden, was the most generally used
crossing of the James in the southwestern migrations." There is record of a post office at
WAUGH's Ferry, Bedford County, from 1829 until 1845.
