Biographical / Historical

Francis Harrison Pierpont was born in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia on January 25, 1814, the son of Francis and Catherine Weaver Pierpont. He married Julia Augusta Robertson (July 26, 1828 - March 25, 1886) on December 26, 1854. He graduated from Allegheny College, Pennsylvania, in 1839, and began teaching in Mississippi and then (West) Virginia. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in Fairmont, Marion County, (West) Virginia, in 1842. One of the clients he represented was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He also started a coal mine on family property in 1854 and entered into a partnership with coal pioneer James Otis Watson. During the 1840s and 1850s, he became interested in politics, joined the Whig Party, and opposed slavery. He participated in the First and Second Wheeling Conventions in 1861. Elected Governor of the Restored Government of Virginia on June 20, 1861, he continued to serve as Governor of Virginia after the Civil War, until 1868. He continued in politics, serving one term in the West Virginia Legislature in 1870, and serving as Collector for the Internal Revenue Service in West Virginia in 1880. After retiring from politics, he spent the final years of his life as a founder and member of the West Virginia Historical Society. He died in Pittsburgh, PA, on March 24, 1899.

Julia and Francis had four children: Samuel Robertson "Sammie" (November 12, 1855 - January 22, 1920), Anna "Nannie" or "Pierrie" (April 14, 1858 - March 22, 1932), and twins Francis William "Willie" (September 13, 1860 - February 11, 1920) and Mary Augusta "Mamie" (September 13, 1860 - June 18, 1864). Anna married William Henry "Harry" Siviter (1858-1939) in 1886.

Note that Francis Harrison spelled his surname "Peirpoint" until 1881, when he changed the spelling to "Pierpont," the form which is now used by historians. See Charles Ambler's Francis H. Pierpont for further details.

Series 6. Telegrams
Mixed Materials Box: 9 1861-1869, undated (includes facsimiles)
Scope and Contents

This series includes over 850 original and facsimile telegrams, most of which are addressed to Pierpont. He was elected governor of the "Loyal" or "Restored" Government of Virginia, which was formed in Wheeling shortly after the state's Richmond government left the Union to join the Confederacy in May 1861. The bulk of the telegrams span 1861-1863, documenting Pierpont's efforts to maintain Union rule in western Virginia during the first two years of the Civil War. Concerning matters such as military personnel and recruitment, troop movements and engagements, orders, and provisions, the telegrams provide nearly a daily record of military developments in western Virginia during this period. Spellings and punctuation in the transcriptions provided in the Contents List are maintained from the original documents. Notable correspondents include Arthur I. Boreman, John S. Carlile, Thomas M. Harris, Abraham Lincoln (facsimiles), J.A.J. Lightburn, George B. McClellan, J.C. Paxton, J.C. Rathbone, W.S. Rosecrans, William H. Seward, Edwin M. Stanton, Benjamin F. Wade, and others.

Digitized copies and transcriptions of the majority of this series can be found online at the Francis H. Pierpont Civil War Telegram Series 1861-1865 website (https://civilwarwv.lib.wvu.edu/).
