Abstract
Miscellaneous nineteenth-century financial, legal, and military materials chiefly related to the Dille, Dawson, and Evans
families of Morgantown, Virginia (now West Virginia). Papers chiefly contain surveys of and land grants for Monongalia County,
Virginia, from 1792 to 1875 (many of these are oversize), including plats sold to O.H. Dille in 1839 and 1875. There is also
an oversized plan of Morgantown, Virginia, 1785-1824, showing deeds along the Monongahela River and Decker's Creek. Military
materials consist of an 1819 pension for John Fairchild, killed during the War of 1812; declarations about military service
during the Revolutionary War written in 1832; and a May 1864 letter from R. W. Dawson regarding the Union 10th Army Corps
at Bermuda Hundred during the Civil War. Miscellaneous items include checks from Morgantown banks, 1873-1874; receipts, 1816-1874;
scattered Dille genealogical information, undated; materials from the Morgantown Presbyterian Church, 1896-1897; and undated
photographs.
