Correspondence, 1913 - 1919, 1929
File — Box: 58, Folder: 13
Scope and Contents
From the Series:
Correspondence, legal documents, deeds and maps make up the material in this series. This material regards land purchased by Benjamin L’Hommedieu in territory later divided between the states of Tennessee and North Carolina. This material documents a long complicated process of establishing ownership by family heirs. Because a deed was never filed locally, a land dispute ensued and was not resolved until a civil suit brought by Eben Norton Horsford was decided in 1888. The land was divided among several families and eventually sold over a long period of time.
