Research Leads and Plantation Records

Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations, Series J: James Wistar Metcalfe Papers, 1841-1852, Adams County, Mississippi; also Indiana. http://www.lexis-nexis.com/cispubs/guides/southern_hist/plantations/plantj6.htm The second part of the volume contains a diary he kept while at Bourbon Plantation, near Montrose, between January and August 1843. Metcalfe apparently was managing a plantation for his father. In the diary, he kept a record of his activities, field work of slaves, hunting and fishing, the weather, building ditches, the corn crop, fodder, and social events.
