Additional Papers of the Hammond Family, Accession #5395-b, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
The papers were a gift to the library from Mr. Lewis M. Hammond, the son of Kensey Johns Hammond, 1610 Meadowbrook Heights Road, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 on 25 June 1976.
The Additional Papers of the Hammond Family, 1805-1936, consist of 1.7 shelf feet (ca. 1340 items) of correspondence, papers, photographs, prints, newspaper clippings, and mementoes. Virtually all of the correspondence is between family members and is personal in nature. There are many letters from Anna Caroline Hammond to her children, Charles Howes Hammond and Mary Goldsborough Hammond, and from Mary to her nephew, Kensey Johns Hammond, an Episcopal minister. The correspondence of the latter concerns church as well as personal affairs and reflects his interest in genealogy. The papers include sermons, prayers, family tress, and notes on genealogy.
The papers arrived at the library in rough chronological order, and they have been arranged entirely chronologically. The correspondence is followed by the papers, drawing, photographs, and prints, newspaper clippings, postcards, souvenirs and mementoes, and one bound volume.
