                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of papers from the Nelson family of Clarke County, Virginia. The papers consist of correspondence among the family members, particularly between Hugh and Adelaide Nelson of Long Branch Plantation in Millwood and their daughter Nannie, as well as the Civil War letters between prisoner of war G. Washington "Wash" Nelson and Mollie Scollay of Shepardstown, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
G. Washington Nelson was captured in 1863 and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. Civil War papers also include muster rolls, one of them signed by J.E.B. Stuart, of Captain Hugh Nelson's company, the Clarke County, Company D., Sixth Cavalry Volunteers. &#13;
