|
Dates: |
1818-1923 |
|
|
Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of the Banks family of Elbert and Muscogee Counties, Georgia from 1818-1923. The collection
minutely includes indentures and legal documents, but it consists mainly of correspondence between family members. Early
letters are addressed to John Banks and concern business activities.
Most of the Civil War correspondence is addressed to either Sarah Lucy or John Banks and primarily includes letters from Willis
Dunston and Daniel Watkins with a few from George Young and Richard Eugene; all part of the 39th Alabama Infantry Regiment.
The letters describe battles and fighting at Falls Church, Virginia; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Lookout Mountain, Tybee Island,
and the retreat from Atlanta, Georgia. Other topics discussed include troop movements, marches, causalities, problems with
deserters, and the lack of supplies. Some letters also discuss farm management during the war, financial problems, and cotton
sales. After the death of Willis Dunston, Daniel Watkins, and Richard Eugene in 1864 the correspondence (1864-1865) consists
of letters of condolence to John Banks.
Later correspondence (1870-1923 with gaps) contains letters to E.A. (Elbert Augustine) Banks in New York City, mainly from
G.J. (Gideon James) Peacock concerning family news, cotton sales, farm management, and land sales in Georgia. Other correspondents
include Edward Sims Banks and Susan Martha Banks.
