Paul Anderson Haralson Letters: Mid-1800s
In connection with the history of the "Clarendon Hall" property in Yanceyville, North Carolina, we discussed Thomas Donoho Johnston (1800-1883), the first owner.
In the mid-1800s, Paul Anderson Haralson (1798-1852) corresponded with his wife, Leannah Herndon Graves Harlson (1803-1848). He was in Yanceyville, North Carolina; she was in Newton County, Georgia. Fortunately, much of this correspondence survives. Here are descriptions of items in the letters relating to Thomas Donoho Johnston:
Paul A. Haralson, Clerk of the Court:
Yanceyville, N.C., Christmas Day, 1842
--James Graves has sold his land to Tho. D. Johnston for $3000.00 and in the trade takes Furgeson's house at $500.00, where he will move to next week. So we will have James L. Graves a citizen of Yanceyville the next year.--
Yanceyville March 5th 1843
--Johnston expects to get in his fine house in about 4 or 5 weeks.
Yanceyville, 19th September 1843
--Ths. D. Johnston has got into his new house, and has a good many boarders--
--Johnstons family all well & Sally [Sarah Grimes McAden Johnston] desires to be remembered to you most affectionately.--
--Johnston has a full store and is doing a large business--
Thanks to Tommy Booker for sharing the Haralson letters.
