I17190: HENRY de BEAUMONT Earl of Buchan (ABT 1285

Notes

"Gilbert de Gant, the great grandson of Baudouin, Count of Flanders, had succeeded in 1192 as 5th Lord of Folkingham. Created Earl of Lincoln in 1216 by Prince Louis of France (later Louis VIII), he was dispatched to the north to oppose King John during the baron's revolt. He devastated the city of Lincoln, but was later taken prisoner and deprived of his estates. He died in 1242. Much of his large estate eventually passed to Henry, 1st Lord Beaumont, who served both Edward I and Edward II in a military capacity.

Lord Beaumont's ancestry is uncertain, but two of his children made excellent marriages. Isabel became the wife of Henry the good Duke of Grosemont, father of John of Gaunt; his eldest son, John, married Eleanor Plantagenet, great granddaughter of Henry III."

Lacy, Drury, 1802-1884.
Papers, 1823-1903.
1,662 items (3.5 linear feet).

Drury Lacy of Prince Edward County, Va., studied at the Union Theological Seminary in Virginia; was minister at Presbyterian churches in New Bern, N.C., 1834-1837, and Raleigh, 1837-1855; president of Davidson College, 1855-1860; lived n Warrenton, N.C., 1861-1862; and served as chaplain at Confederate military hospitals at Raleigh and Wilson, N.C., 1862-1865.
During 1866-1878, he taught at Peace Institute, where his wife was Lady Principal.

He married first Williana Wilkinson (1806-1846), and second, in 1849, Mary Ritchie Rice, both of Virginia. Also represented in the collection is Lacy's oldest daughter, Bessie (1832-1900). In 1853 she married Thomas Webber Dewey (1827-1875) and moved to Charlotte, N.C., where he was a banker.

Primarily letters written by members of the Lacy and Dewey families and their relatives and close friends in North Carolina and in Prince Edward County, Va. The letters were addressed chiefly to Williana W. Lacy until her death in 1846, and to her daughter, Bessie, from 1845 to about 1886, but also to other members of these two households. In addition to the health and welfare of members of the family and their personal activities, the correspondence frequently mentions Presbyterian Church affairs, including personnel, issues, assemblies, etc.; the education of the younger members of the family, including letters of advice to them from their parents; social life and news; and comments on national issues and local events.

Of particular note are letters, 1823, from Drury Lacy at Laurelbrook near Petersburg, Va., describing his social life and teaching;
letters, 1836-ca. 1840, from Moses Drury Hoge at the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond describing student life and Presbyterian matters;
correspondence of Bessie Lacy at Edgeworth Seminary in Greensboro, N.C., 1845-1848, and her school friends, 1848-1850s; and letters, 1854-1861, from
the Lacy family at Davidson, N.C.

Most of the Civil War materials are letters to the Deweys in Charlotte, N.C., from family and friends in Raleigh and Wilson, N.C., and Richmond, Va., describing local conditions; and from Bessie's brothers and father in the Confederate Army. Also
included are some recruitment papers of Co. B, 1st North Carolina Artillery Regiment.

Volumes include commonplace books, albums, and notes on Bessie's activities in connection with the Presbyterian Church and various social clubs in Charlotte.
