Haywood, John, 1755-1827.
Papers, 1790-1903.
150 items (1.0 linear ft.).

Persons represented in this collection include John Haywood, treasurer of
North Carolina, 1787-1827, and member of the board of trustees of the
University of North Carolina, 1789-1827; his son, George Washington Haywood
(1802-1890), lawyer of Raleigh, N.C.; George's nephew, Joseph A. Haywood
(b. 1843), of Raleigh, N.C.; and Joseph's daughter, Martha A. Haywood. The
John Haywood items, 1790-1826, are scattered and disconnected in nature,
and many are badly damaged.  Correspondents include Samuel Ashe, John Hogg,
Samuel Johnston, and Thomas Ruffin, and Alexander Martin, Benjamin Rush,
and A. C. Thomas, all of Philadelphia. Topics include primarily personal
business and family affairs, but some mention is made of North Carolina
financial conditions.  The papers of George Washington Haywood, 1835-1867,
relate to his legal business and clients, but include a series of letters
addressed to Emsley Burgess and his wife, Nancy, of Franklinton, Randolph
County, N.C., written by their children and other relatives in scattered
places.  Their connection to the Haywoods is unclear.  Joseph A. Haywood
items include correspondence, 1885, concerning his attempt to patent a
grinding mill.  Martha A. Haywood items include a volume, 1902-1903,
containing accounts and a draft of a romantic novel.

Gift, 1951.
