Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of Peninah W. Thomas and the Thomas family of Athens (Ga.) from 1821-1959. The papers include
correspondence, bills and receipts, account books, legal documents, and sermons (1890s) written by Robert Toombs DuBose.
The bills and receipts (1821-1910) contain several receipts for wages paid by Peninah W. Thomas to freedmen. The account
books (1834-1845) contain bank accounts of Stevens Thomas and lists of accounts and purchases.
The correspondence includes letters (1838-1870) between Peninah W. Thomas and her daughters Ella (Hull), Batavia (Clinch),
and Mary (Saffold). The letters mainly contain news of family or friends and social events, but of particular interest are
letters from Batavia living in Connecticut during the Civil War. The letters discuss the fall of Ft. Sumter and northerners'
inability to understand southern attitudes. Also included are letters from Thomas Reynolds and John Shannon discussing plantation
management, the cotton market, and other details of Thomas' business interests. From 1870-1941 letters are between Jennie
Stovall (DuBose) and Robert Toombs DuBose, mostly personal but also containing some information on Georgia land sales, his
ministry, and service in the Georgia House of Representatives.
