JOHN LYNCH (1740–1820) COLLECTION
JOHN LYNCH (c.1740-1820)
John Lynch was born circa 1740, the son of Irish immigrant Charles Lynch and his
wife, Sarah Clark. He was one of six children, including Colonel Charles Lynch and Sara
Lynch (Terrell). John was described by a neighbor, Louisa Davis, as being very tall and
erect in his adult years. She further notes that he was of fair complexion, clean shaven,
and that his hair was gray.
John was the founder of the town of Lynchburg, which grew up along the James River
at Lynch's Ferry.
Like his mother, John Lynch was an active member of the Society of Friends' South
River Meeting. His marriage to Mary Bowles is recorded in their records, along with

Description
An account of the resource
Digital scan of document entitled "Registry of Negroes, Ages-Births-Sales as December 12th, 1858". The two-page typewritten document is held at Jones Memorial Library in manuscript collection 1793, the Blackford Family Collection.
The document names and enumerates 21 enslaved persons from the Blackford estate in 1858. First names are listed; no surnames are listed.
Although the list is titled as of December 12, 1858, it includes the names of enslaved persons born after that point in time and therefore appears to be a list of persons enslaved by Blackford until their emancipation at the end of the Civil War.
Named enslaved persons include: William (Big Bill), Gabe, Alley, William, Jack, Thomas, Maria, Jane, Jenney, Ellen, Mary, Dick, Henry, William, Fanny, Caroline, Becky, Henry, Beverly, Caleb, and Charles.
Of the 21 enslaved persons on the list, three are named William (ages 37 years, 25 years, and 4 years) and two are named Henry (one aged 6 years and one born March 1858).
In addition to the names of the enslaved persons the list includes two typed notes, with one note mentioning a colt.

An account of the resource
Scanned images of a list of expenses by T.F. Potter with James Potter for the Colerain Plantation in 1836, This document is part of Jones Memorial Library Manuscript 1141, the Potter Estate Papers, Box 1-2.
The Potter estate included the Colerain and Tweedside Plantations near Savannah, Georgia. Thomas F. Potter and James Potter were brothers who owned and operated the plantations.
In this document, an entry on 20 July 1837 notes "Jail Fees Abraham 3.27" . Other materials in the Potter collection indicate that Abraham was the name of a person enslaved by James Potter on the estate. This entry may relate to this enslaved person and suggests that Abraham was enslaved on the Colerain plantation in 1837.

JOHN C. NOELL (1789-1862) PAPERS
The papers (1825-1866, 1883) include assorted receipts from court clerks of
Lynchburg, Amherst, Bedford, Botetourt, Campbell, Roanoke, & Pittsylvania Counties,
VA, for transactions involving NOELL; papers relating to the settlement of NOELL's
estate, particularly lists of "Negroes and Lands" belonging to various members of the
NOELL family. The slaves are listed by name (no last name) and includes their
estimated values; one list also gives ages. The papers also include some accounts and a
letter from J. T. NOELL, Jr. (1883).
JOHN C. NOELL (1789-1862)
John C. NOELL, son of Thomas NOELL, was born February 1789 in Bedford
County, Virginia. He married (1) 7 December 1810 (bond) Polly MILLNER, daughter of
Williamson MILLNER and Sally NIEL. He married (2) 11 November 1815 (bond)
Nancy WITT, daughter of Dennett Abny WITT and Conney OGLESBY. [Jennie Noel
Weeks, compiler, Emigrant Cornelius Noell: From Holland to Virginia, Vol. 4, Family 4a (Salt Lake City,
UT: J. N. Weeks, 1978), pp. 311-312; William Wade Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker
Genealogy, Vol. 6 (Ann Arbor, MI: Edwards Brothers, 1950), p. 970; "Marriage of Dennett Abny Witt and
Conney Oglesby," William Montgomery Sweeny, Marriage Bonds and Other Marriage Records of
Amherst County, Virginia 1763–1800 (Lynchburg, VA: J. P. Bell, 1937), p. 83.]
There is indication in the NOELL papers that John C. NOELL may have operated a
store ca. 1849 (perhaps Bedford County, Virginia). B. GARDINER to Samuel
GARLAND, 1 August 1849, order to pay John C. NOELL for merchandise "rec'd from
his store yesterday." [John C. Noell Papers, MS1762, Jones Memorial Library, Lynchburg, VA.]

Description
An account of the resource
Scanned images of printed pamphlet entitled "The Virginia Negro Mammy": Tena MacIntosh by Edmonia Woltz Gray.
This four page pamphlet was printed around 1909 by Gray in Roanoke, Virginia. Accompanying the pamphlet is a letter from Gray on 14 November 1909 to W.M. Black, Librarian of the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The pamphlet was written as a biography of Tena MacIntosh, an enslaved woman who lived in Montgomery County, Virginia. MacIntosh was enslaved by George Hancock at Fotheringay.
Gray's publication is referenced in a biography by Dale MacAllister, "Lucy Frances Simms : from slavery to revered public service" held at the Library of Virginia. The pamphlet appears to have been acquired by the Library of Virginia in 1910 and may also be held in their collection.
The pamphlet and letter are held in original print and handwritten physical formats at the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Note: A transcription is included with each of the images at the bottom of the page; click on an image to read the transcription.
Manuscript 1047 ("Seth Woodroof Account Book") is a handwritten notebook which lists enslaved persons, buyers, and sellers in the slave trade in Lynchburg, Virginia between 1834 and 1840. The book lists individuals by name and is believed to have belonged to Seth Woodroof.
Seth Woodroof was an enslaver and slave trader operating in Lynchburg in the 1800s. He is known to have had business dealings with other slave traders in the city, including John Harris and Rowan Harris.
Manuscript 1047 is a tan colored, leather notebook. Imprinted on the cover in cursive writing is "Seth Woodroof Lynchburg March 1st 1834" and in print "S.W. No. 2". In white lettering at the bottom left are call (classification) numbers "658 W".
The book contains 74 unnumbered interior pages. Page numbering has been assigned to the digitized images by the library. Pages 16 to 61 and page 74 are blank with no linguistic content attributable to Seth Woodroof. Pages 1-16 and 62-73 contain handwritten entries believed to have been made by Seth Woodroof. In the original item, there appear to be missing pages between 10 and 11. Entries on pages 8 and 9 are labeled as "October 16, 1835. " Entries on pages 10 and 11 are labeled as "July 1840."
Woodroof's entries are in black ink and list the names of enslaved persons being sold along with the names of buyers and sellers. Most persons in the book, including enslaved persons, are listed with first and last names. The activity documented in the book is for the period 1834 to 1840.
Most of the entries that document the sales of enslaved persons is entered across the width of adjacent pages in the book. For this reason, the book has been scanned so that images include both the left and right hand pages. Most interior pages in the book are empty with handwritten entries only appearing at the front and back of the book; images of blank pages have been included to provide a complete digital record of the physical manuscript.
It appears that Woodroof recorded the date, place of sales, and seller(s) name across the top of the pages. Woodroof then recorded the first name, last name, age, and original purchase price of each enslaved person on the left hand side of the ledger. In cases where a sale was made on a date differing from that at the top of the page, Woodroof noted the date on the left hand side above or next to the enslaved person's name. On the right hand page, he repeated the first and last names of the enslaved individual, followed by the sales price and buyer's name.
Woodroof appears to have used the notation "do" as shorthand for "ditto", indicating that information on the line above is repeated (i.e., multiple transactions by one buyer). At the bottom or side of each page, Woodroof frequently entered a total numerical amount which represented the dollar sum of purchases and sales.
Pages 02-15 contain handwritten data on sales of enslaved persons, including names and amounts for dates between 01 March 1834 to 08 August 1840. Data entered on page 4 appears to have been continued on pages 72-73.
Pages 16 through 61 are blank with no data.
Pages 62-71 contain information for years 1834-1835. The ten pages at the back of the book include handwritten entries that were entered inverted (upside down and back- to-front). Inverted images have been saved as right-side up images for the digital copy.
An oval stamp marked "Jones Memorial Library" appears on the inside front cover, pages 3, 63, 72, 73, and the inside back cover. The binding string is found between pages 32 and 33.
Additional images of the front and back cover were taken with a ruler to illustrate dimensions of the original item.
A transcription of each image is included and can be accessed by clicking on the image.
To aid the reader, extra markings (such as periods, dashes, and hyphens) that do not significantly add to interpretation of the data have not been included in the transcription. In instances when data is not complete, or there is clarifying data that can assist with interpretation, entries are [bracketed]. In some instances, the order in which words appear has been altered slightly in the transcription so as to enable better interpretation for the reader (i.e., when parts of a date were entered on two lines, they are entered as if on one line, to avoid confusion with the names of persons that follow).
An article and dataset which record the names of individuals in this manuscript has been submitted to Enslaved.org
Researchers and readers who would like to submit a correction or transcription enhancement are invited to contact Jones Memorial Library via the online collection form, with an email to director@jmlibrary.org, or by telephone at 1-434-846-0501.

Manuscript 1047: the Seth Woodroof Account Book is held at Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia. The book is among the library’s original local history holdings. The front cover includes the notation “658 W” in white lettering on the bottom right, suggesting that the book was cataloged using the Dewey Decimal system prior to 1993, when the library switched to Library of Congress classification. A sticker on the inside back cover includes this directive: “For Reference/Virginia Collection/Not to be taken from this room.” During the period when the Jones operated as a public library, the Virginia Collection was held in a local history room located in the library’s original building at 434 Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg. The library moved from the Rivermont Avenue building to its current location in 1987. The Dewey Decimal classification number on the front cover in combination with the Virginia Room stamp on the inside back cover together suggest that the account book came into the library’s collection prior to 1987.

Description
An account of the resource
Selected images of pages from two journals kept by James T. Jones for agricultural land in Fluvanna County, Virginia for the period 1831-1851. The images show pages from manuscript collection 1247, Box 4, folders 4-1 and 4-2.
Depicted on these pages are handwritten entries with the names of individuals, plus dates and details, under the title of "Loss Time of Hands" for the years 1832, 1833, 1834, 1841, 1842, and 1843.
The U.S. Censuses for 1850 and 1860 show that James T. Jones of Fluvanna County, Virginia enslaved 22 persons and 10 persons, respectively. The individuals named on these images are likely to be persons enslaved by Jones between 1832-1843.
Individuals named on these pages include [Fountaine] Humphrey, Ellis, William, Buff (or Biff), Judy, Matilda, Fanny, Jack, and Sam.
The Jones property was known as "the old Jones place" and later as the "Marvin Payne Property". It was located near the Monticello Dam and Rivanna River in Fluvanna County.
