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.

JAMES ADDISON MERIWETHER (1855-aft.1931) FARM ACCOUNT BOOK
The farm account book includes a record of expenses of James A. MERIWETHER's
farm near Lynchburg, Virginia. In addition to individual accounts, there are also
accounts for a plaster mill, a bone mill, and a corn mill, operated by MERIWETHER.
The account book appears to be that of Dr. James Addison MERIWETHER, a physician
who also operated a farm at Holcomb Rock in Bedford County, Virginia.
JAMES ADDISON MERIWETHER (1855-aft.1931)
James Addison MERIWETHER, the son of Charles J. MERIWETHER and Ellen D.
MERIWETHER, was born August 1855, in Bedford County, Virginia. He attended the
University of Virginia Medical Department during 1880-1881. He received his medical
degree from New York College in 1882. He was elected a Fellow of the Medical Society
of Virginia in 1888.
James A. MERIWETHER married 27 April 1882 Emily S. HARRIS, daughter of
James M. HARRIS and Louisa M. TINSLEY, of Bedford County, Virginia.
In addition to his medical practice, Dr. MERIWETHER also operated a farm at
Holcomb Rock, in Bedford County, near Lynchburg. He died after 1931.
