Records
- Walton Family Papers, 1804-1868, Greene County, Alabama: This
collection consists chiefly of nineteenth-century personal correspondence
and financial and legal papers of the Walton and Webb families. There are
also miscellaneous loose writings and six maps, circa 1820s, of land in western
Alabama. Although William Walton and his wife Justina L. Walton owned and
operated a cotton plantation in Greene County, Alabama, there are few items
directly related to the running of the plantation or to the approximately
100 slaves who lived and worked there.
