Albemarle County (Va.) Affidavit of A.S. Brockenbrough, 1831 May 3. Brockenbrough's testimony pertains to wages paid for the preparation of building sites for the construction of University of Virginia dormitories and two hotels "on the West street." One of the men hired for the job of undertaking on the site claimed he was promised a higher rate of compensation than he was paid. Brockenbrough testifies he promised to pay the workers ten percent less than former prices given at the University of Virginia for construction work.
