Mid/late 18th century. Provenance: East Tennessee collection, acquired from an estate. Note: According to the Louisa County Historical Society, "Louisa County, VA was formed in 1742 when the population was large enough to support a courthouse. The county separated from Hanover County and was named after Princess Louisa, the daughter of King George II of England. Louisa County began to make its mark on the new nation when Thomas Walker led an expedition from Louisa County to explore the Cumberland Gap two decades before Daniel Boone. Thousands of people continued their migration west from Louisa County over the next hundred years." Spotsylvania County was founded in 1721 and named for the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Alexander Spotswood. The two counties were home to many notable patriots including Patrick Henry. John Overton was among the Louisa County residents who went west. He apprenticed to an attorney in Danville, Kentucky at the age of 21 and by 1789 had come to Nashville. There he made his fortune as a judge, land owner, and advisor to his friend President Andrew Jackson. Overton was a co-founder of the city of Memphis and the builder of Traveller's Rest, a historic Federal home now open to the public in Nashville, TN. Provenance: Private Knoxville, TN collection. (Higher-resolution photos are available at www.caseantiques.com) Condition: Fragile condition, with pages toned; edge losses, some scattered staining. The first 15 pages appear to be missing, and most of pages 16 and 17 (the first pages present here) have been cut or torn out. Five loose partial pages at back.

• ARCHIVE OF THE CLAYBROOK -
  ARCHIVE OF THE CLAYBROOK - OVERTON FAMILIES OF TENNESSE...Letter archive relating to the families of Judge John Overton (1766-1833) and his nephew John Samuel Claybrooke (1808-1892) of Middle Tennessee, who served as executor of Overton's estate. Overton was a close friend, lawyer, and business associate of President Andrew Jackson, whom he succeeded as a member of the Superior Court of Tennessee, the forerunner of the TN Supreme Court. Overton was heavily involved not only in many early Tennessee legal matters, but also in finance and banking. He was a co-founder of Memphis (in 1819) on land he owned with Jackson and General James Winchester and was the recognized authority in Tennessee on all matters relating to land legislation in the early years of the nineteenth century. At the time of his death, his nephew/executor John S. Claybrooke estimated the value of Overton's estate, including his beloved home, Traveller's Rest, at $300,000. Claybrooke was a teacher, planter, and President of the Board of Directors of the Nashville and Decatur Railroad (later the Louisville and Nashville railroad). Includes 2 John Overton ALS: 1 letter from Overton to Claybrooke, undated, enclosing a letter from "W. Hardiman putting off the arbitration " and advising Claybrooke to "take [the letter] with you to Franklin...", plus 1 John Overton signed letter written in Washington to James Claybrooke of Virginia, mostly family news, but stating "We have no news here now since Congress has adjourned- all is peace." Curiously this second letter is dated 17th April, 1833, which post-dates Overton's death, however, we believe the signature is his (and not that of his son, John Overton Jr). At the bottom of the letter is the phrase, "Written in haste." It is our assumption that Overton simply miswrote the date and that the letter likely dates c. 1832 or 1831. The archive also includes a 1796 fragmentary letter to Overton from M-- Cochran; an 1833 letter from Martha Overton of Virginia to her cousin Elizabeth Claybrooke; 1820 letter to Overton from Elizabeth Claybrooke; 1840 letter from Ann Overton to John Claybrooke; 1834 letter from John McLemore referencing a debt to Overton's estate, 1884 envelope from the US Senate Chamber addressed to John S. Claybrooke, with 1860s three-cent fractional currency note taped to it, and several other letters, containing family and routine business related content. 19 letters total plus 1 free frank marked envelope from J. Overton to Elizabeth Claybrooke and 3 other empty envelopes, 32 items, most dating 1830s-40s, up through 1849. Letters are in plastic coverings, housed in a 11 1/2" x 10" binder. Also included is a second binder with approximately 65 additional envelopes, checks/receipts and other items relating to the Claybrooke family through the second half of the 19th century. Condition: Letter from Overton to Claybrook has crease with loss on Overton's signature, toning, chipping and staining. Overton letter dated 1833 has a crease through the signature and a couple of small tears affecting the lower flourish of the signature. The 3 cent fractional currency note is taped to the Senate envelope and we have not attempted to remove it. Most letters good condition with expected toning, light creasing/staining/foxing; a few with chipping or in fragmentary condition.
