Thomas Edward Cox Books, 1829–1854,<br />

Henrico County, Virginia<br />

Description <strong>of</strong> the Collection<br />

This collection chiefly documents the farming activities <strong>of</strong> Thomas Edward Cox at his farm,<br />

Laurel Spring, Henrico County, Virginia in 1853 and 1854. Considerable information also appears<br />

on Cox’s medical practice in Henrico County in the 1840s and early 1850s. Limited information on<br />

his family and personal life can be culled from Cox’s daybook entries. Edward Cox’s farming<br />

activities in the late 1820s receive some attention, but nothing appears on his life otherwise.<br />

The seven volumes in the collection consist <strong>of</strong> two farm account books <strong>of</strong> Edward Cox and<br />

two physician’s ledger/notebooks and three farm account/daybooks <strong>of</strong> Thomas Cox. The volumes<br />

are arranged chronologically by the earliest date appearing in them, except for Volume 7. This<br />

volume was dated by the original processor as 1854 but actually contains some entries for 1853<br />

as well. The volume was not renumbered to avoid confusion for earlier users.<br />
