Research Leads and Plantation Records

Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations: Peter Evans Smith Papers, 1738-1869, Halifax County, North Carolina

Letters from 1822 to 1849 chiefly document the agricultural and other business concerns of Peter Evans of Egypt plantation in Chatham County, North Carolina, and his son-in-law William Ruffin Smith, Jr. of Scotland Neck in Halifax County, North Carolina...Correspondence and financial and legal materials offer only a piecemeal impression of plantation development. Nevertheless, these materials contain significant information about slaves, including their sale and hire and skills, various slave lists, and related labor contracts with freedmen.
