The collection includes one $1000 bond, No. 503, dated 8 October 1862, one $500
bond, No. 377, dated 8 October 1862, and one $1000 bond, No. 3051, dated 20 January
1862, all signed by Robert TYLER, Register of the Treasury.
ROBERT TYLER (1818-1877)
Robert TYLER, son of President John TYLER and Letitia CHRISTIAN, was born 9
September 1818 at Cedar Grove in New Kent County, Virginia. He was educated at the
College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, graduating in 1835. He received his law
degree from the same institution in 1837. He practiced law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
and was active in politics, serving as chairman of the Democratic executive committee in
1858. He was also active in promoting the nominations of Franklin PIERCE in 1852 and
of James BUCHANAN in 1856.
Robert TYLER married Priscilla COOPER, daughter of Thomas A. COOPER, in
1839.
During the presidency of John TYLER, Robert TYLER served as signer of patents
and as the president's private secretary. In 1847, he was appointed sheriff's solicitor of
Philadelphia. Later he was appointed to the Office of the Prothonotary of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania.
When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, Robert TYLER removed to
Richmond, Virginia, where he was appointed Register of the Treasury by President
Jefferson DAVIS in 1861, in the place of Alexander B. CLITHERALL, who had
resigned. TYLER served in that position throughout the war.
Following the Civil War, Robert TYLER moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where he
became editor of the Mail and Express, and was chairman of the Democratic state central
committee. He died 3 December 1877 in Montgomery.

MOLLIE WOODSON (1845-1940) LETTERS
The collection includes letters to Mollie WOODSON, Appomattox County, Virginia,
from her cousin, Samuel N. PAYNE, and her brother, Drury A. WOODSON. The letters
of 29 October 1860 from PAYNE in Danville, Virginia, and 25 December 1860 from
WOODSON in Richmond, are about politics and secession. The letters of 24 January
and 31 March 1862, both from PAYNE, are about a soldier's life and work. The letter of
2 April 1867 from WOODSON, of Prince Edward County, is about his prospects for a
ministerial post and about his school.
MOLLIE WOODSON (1845-aft.1920)
Mary ("Mollie") WOODSON, daughter of Drury and Louisa (HENDRICKS)
WOODSON, was born in March, 1845, in Appomattox County, Virginia. [Census 1850,
Appomattox County, VA, National Archives and Records Service, M-432, Roll 933, p. 189, Stonewall
district, Household 306, Family 306; Census 1900, Appomattox County, VA, National Archives and
Records Service, T-623, Roll 1699, p. 275, Stonewall District, Household 177, Family 185.]
Molly E. WOODSON married in 1867 Charles T. MOSES, born ca. 1844 in
Cumberland County, Virginia, the son of Joseph H. MOSES. [Vicki Jamerson, et als,
Appomattox County Marriages 1854–1890 (Appomattox, VA: Authors, 1979), p. 62. The date is given as "
-22-1867" (month not given). Molly E. WOODSON is listed as the daughter of "W. Drury WOODSON."
D[rury] A. WOODSON, brother of Molly, was the officiating minister.]
Charles T. MOSES served in Company H, 18th Virginia Infantry ("Appomattox
Grays"), during the Civil War. He was captured at Sayler's Creek and was paroled at
Point Lookout Prison on 8 June 1865. [James I. Robertson, 18th Virginia Infantry, 1st ed.
(Lynchburg: H. E. Howard, 1984), pp. 3, 70.]
Charles T. MOSES died 23 November 1896 in Appomattox County, Virginia. He had
served as president of the Farmers Alliance and on the Board of Supervisors. He was
buried in the Liberty [Baptist] Church cemetery. [Appomattox & Buckingham Times, 26
November 1896, p. 3 col. 3.
Mollie (WOODSON) MOSES died 15 January 1940. [Census 1920, Appomattox County,
VA, National Archives and Records Service, T-625, Roll 1879, p. 70, Household 39, Family 41, Rose

MOLLIE WOODSON (1845-1940) LETTERS (Contd)
DRURY ALEXANDER WOODSON (1835-1887)
Drury Alexander WOODSON, son of Drury and Louisa WOODSON, was born 20
November 1835, in Buckingham County, Virginia. [George Braxton Taylor, Virginia Baptist
Ministers, 4th Series (Lynchburg: J. P. Bell, 1913), pp. 35-36; Census 1850, Appomattox County, VA,
loc.cit.] The family lived on David's Creek, in that section of Buckingham County which
became part of Appomattox County when it was formed in 1845. [Harriett A. Chilton,
Appomattox County, Virginia, Tax Lists, 1845 (Falls Church, VA: Author, 1975), p. 13.]
Drury A. WOODSON was educated at Richmond College and later became a
schoolmaster at Clover Hill in Appomattox County. [Taylor, op.cit.] By 1860, he had
become a Baptist preacher. [Census 1860, Appomattox County, VA, National Archives and Records
Service, M-653, Roll 1332, p. 492, Household 496, Family 496.]
Following the Civil War, WOODSON moved to Prince Edward County, Virginia,
where he directed the Sandy River Church Academy. He also assisted Rev. Daniel WITT
in several churches in the area. [Taylor, op.cit.]
Drury A. WOODSON married 30 September 1866 Ella S. BRUCE, daughter of
Samuel B. BRUCE and Elizabeth Ann WOOTTEN, of Prince Edward County, Virginia.
[Ibid.; Census 1860, Prince Edward County, VA, National Archives and Records Service, M-653, Roll
1371, p. 55, Household 18, Family 18; "Marriage of Samuel B. BRUCE and Elizabeth Ann WOOTTEN,"
29 May 1829, Marriage Bonds, Prince Edward County, 1754-1850, Microfilmed record, The Library of
Virginia.]
WOODSON moved to the Eastern Shore of Virginia where he served in churches of
the Accomac Association. His wife, Ella (BRUCE) WOODSON, died in 1873, while he
was pastor in Sussex County, Virginia. [Taylor, op.cit.]
Drury A. WOODSON moved to North Carolina where he pastored churches in the
counties of Hertford and Davie. On 1 February 1877, he married Emma W. BRUCE,
sister of his first wife. After returning to Virginia to pastor churches in Princess Ann
County, WOODSON contracted malarial fever and died on 11 August 1887. [Ibid.]

MOLLIE WOODSON (1845-1940) LETTERS (Contd)
SAMUEL N. PAYNE
According to information from the letters to "Cousin" Mollie WOODSON, Samuel N.
PAYNE was born 11 November 1842. [Letter, 29 October 1860, The Mollie Woodson Letters,
MS1496, Jones Memorial Library, Lynchburg, VA. "I am not quite 18 yet...I will be the 11 of next
month..."]
PAYNE worked in a store in Danville, Virginia, in 1860, with his "uncle Jim" and a
"Mr. TAYLOR." [Ibid., "Mr. TAYLOR, one of the partners, was married the other night and uncle Jim
is out on a trip to Campbell and I have the store all to myself..."]
Samuel N. PAYNE appears to have served in the military during the Civil War,
perhaps from Danville, or Pittsylvania County, in the same unit with his uncle Jim. [Letter,
31 March 1862, The Mollie Woodson Letters, loc.cit. "...We have reorganized our Company; had quite a
change of officers. Uncle Jim was promoted from a private to 1st Lieut..."]
The signature of the letter of 29 October 1860 appears to be that of Samuel N.
PAYNE. Based on the preponderance of the evidence, however, there is a possibility that
this individual is one Samuel M. PAYNE, rather than Samuel N. PAYNE.
Samuel M. PAYNE, clerk, enlisted in Co. A, 18th Virginia Infantry, "Danville Blues,"
on 23 April 1861, at age 18. [Robertson, 18th Virginia Infantry, p. 73.]
In his letter of 29 October 1860, Samuel N. PAYNE stated that he would be 18 on 11
November 1860. [Letter, 29 October 1860, The Mollie Woodson Letters, loc.cit.]
Samuel M. PAYNE was appointed corporal on 23 April 1862. [Robertson, 18th Virginia
Infantry, loc.cit.]
"Sam" PAYNE, in his letter of 31 March 1862, written from Camp Taylor near
Orange Court House, stated that he "must go out and drill my squad of recruits..." [Letter,
31 March 1862, The Mollie Woodson Letters, loc.cit. Drilling a squad of recruits would perhaps indicate a
promotion to corporal.]
Samuel N. PAYNE died 1 June 1862 at the Battle of Seven Pines. He was the son of
Robert G. PAYNE and Sarah Pannill MILLER. [Robertson, 18th Virginia Infantry, loc.cit.;
Lynchburg Daily Virginian, 10 July 1862, p. 3 col. 2; Marriage of Robert G. PAYNE and Sarah Pannill
MILLER, 4 December 1839, Marian D. Chiarito, Marriages of Pittsylvania County, Virginia 1831–1861

(434) 846-0501
MOLLIE WOODSON (1845-1940) LETTERS (Contd)
SAMUEL N. PAYNE (Contd)
Sarah Pannill MILLER was the daughter of Samuel T. MILLER and Frances E. F.
PATRICK [FITZPATRICK?] of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Chiarito, Marriages,
loc.cit.; Marriage of Samuel T. MILLER and Frances E. F. PATRICK, 30 December 1817, Kathleen Booth
Williams, Marriages of Pittsylvania County, Virginia 1806–1830 (Danville: Author, 1965), p. 105.]
In 1850, the household of Samuel T. MILLER, teacher, and wife Fannie, of
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, included one James MILLER, aged 15 years. [1850 Census,
Pittsylvania County, VA, National Archives and Records Service, M-432, Roll 968, p. 184, Household 196,
Family 196.]
James Ball MILLER, merchant, enlisted in Co. A, 18th Virginia Infantry, "Danville
Blues," on 23 April 1861, at the age of 25 years. On 23 April 1862, he was elected First
Lieutenant of the company. [Robertson, 18th Virginia Infantry, p. 69.]
In his letter of 31 March 1862, "Sam" PAYNE states that "Uncle Jim was promoted
from a private to 1st Lieut[enant]." [Letter, 31 March 1862, The Mollie Woodson Letters, loc.cit.]
On 28 August 1860, J. B. MILLER, age 26, merchant, was enumerated in the
household of J. J. CREWS of Danville, Virginia. Also included in the household was
Albert G. TAYLOR, age 32, merchant. [1860 Census, Pittsylvania County, VA, Danville, National
Archives and Records Service, M-653, Roll 1370, p. 473, Household 185, Family 185.]
In his letter of 29 October 1860, Samuel N. PAYNE writes of working in a store with
his "uncle Jim" and a "Mr. TAYLOR, one of the partners." [Letter, 29 October 1860, The
Mollie Woodson Letters, loc.cit.]
Thus it would appear that James Ball MILLER, born ca. 1835, is a brother to Sarah
Pannill (MILLER) PAYNE, mother of Samuel M. PAYNE, and would be "Uncle Jim."
Based on the evidence presented, it would appear that Samuel N. PAYNE (1842- )
may, indeed, be Samuel M. PAYNE (1842-1862).

WEATHER MEMORANDUM BOOK, 1860-1862
The volume contains daily observations on the weather made by William Massie at the
Massie plantations, Pharsalia and Level Green, in Nelson County, Va. There are occasional
comments on the political scene during the Civil War (e.g. Apr. 14, 1861: “We hear this
evening of the battle at Fort Sumpter & everything is gloomy & dark & uncertain, except that
war has begun.”) The last pages of the memorandum book are penned by the wife of the
original author. She states that he died July 29, 1862.
WILLIAM MASSIE (1795-1862
William Massie was born 3 March 1795 in Nelson County, Virginia, to Thomas Massie
(1747-1834) and Sarah "Sallie" Cocke Massie (1760-1838). Massie owned two plantations in
Nelson County, Virginia, "Pharsalia" and "Level Green." "Pharsalia" was a gift from his father.
Massie represented Nelson County in the House of Delegates during the 1839-1840 session.
William Massie married first Sarah "Sallie" Steptoe (d. 1828) of Bedford County,
Virginia, 20 October 1814 and they had at least one child. He married second Martha Virginia
Wiatt (1812-1832) 7 May 1829 and they had at least one child. He married third Sarah U. Clark
(d. ca. 1833) 21 May 1833. Massie married fourth Maria Catharine Effinger (1814-1889) of
Rockingham County, Virginia, 17 December 1834, and they had six children.
William Massie died in Nelson County 29 July 1862.

Camp Bread New Market Rockingham Co Va
Dear Wife & Brother. June 3, 1862
Again am I hurried so that I cant
[write] you [but] a few lines, to inform you of
my health &c. Robert E. Jones is here and is going
to leave in the morning. I am well as could
be expected after such a long march. We have
been marching day & night & eating nothing
for 36 hours at a time. We are falling back
up the Valley & the Yankeys right after us &
will fight them to morrow or next day
however I cant tell you anything about that
I'll just tell you I send you this pistol to take
care of it for me. I also send a flask & pipe
they were [a] Yankey's. I'll try to come home by June
Court. If I can but if I cannot you & pa
must attend to that Qualifying &c. I also
want you to keep your eyes open & make
that money good of Archibald H. Franklin's.
Pompi it is so dark that I cant write much
though I will try & write to you all as soon [as] I can
get a chance. You can see Mr. Jones & he will give
you all the points. We have had a hard time for
the last month & we may have a worse time in
a few days. The Yankeys are right at us & I expect
we will have to fight them in a short time
that is if they attempt to follow us in any further.
I dont know anything about their strength though
I expect they have a pretty strong army. They are
picking up several of our boys who are broken
down & cant get out of their way. Gib is well
You all must write soon & often write me all
the news & direct yours to Staunton Wm. J. Jeter

A few words to you Hannie as I think you
are a little inclined to think hard of me for
not writing to you every week. But you
know nothing of my condition. I doubtless
write to you every chance I have & as to
James Wright [he] is well. I dont know any other
reason why he dont have we have no chance
to send letters after they are written, besides
we have no time to write. I havent slept
more than 2 or 3 hours a night now for
several [days] & some I dont sleep any at all
so I ought,to be asleep now. I dont
know what time we may be call[ed] on
to leave here. You wanted to know
if James [Wright] was Commisary yet. he
is not. he is nothing but a Private.
Hannie you may tell your Grandma
that I dident think she would have
treated me so about that horse. I have
offered her $150 & he would bring $200
here just as easy as to ask it. I would
have paid her $150 Confederates. But as it
was for Basham he ought to sell him for less
than any body els.[sic] as to those clothes you
do as you please about making me any.
I dont care anything about them any
way. I would like to have broad & strong
straps on my pants. I would like to have
velvet if you can get it. I received 2 letters from
you today for the 1st since the 12th. I want you &
Pompi to see to all things & take care of my pistol
till I come. I wouldent take $50 for it. I'll come
home by Court if I can I must close give my

[Written upward, on Left margin: ]
You can get all the particulars from Capt. Bob Jones. Write soon to Jeter"
