Text Any textual data included in the document Page 1 [23 Aug. 1828] SOME NOTICES OF KENTUCKY, Particularly of its chief town, Lexington. Kentucky was admitted into the Union in 1792. Its population was 73,675 in 1790; 220,959 in 1800; and 406,571 in 1810; and 564,317 in 1820. Lexington was founded in April 1779, but made slow progress for some time; as in 1797, it contained but 50 houses. It has, since that pe- riod, increased rapidly, and now contains about 1000 houses and 6000 inhabitants. The streets intersect each other at right angles, and the houses, which are generally of brick, are hand- some: a large proportion of them may compare with the generality of the houses of Philadel- phia. There are fewer mean, shabby houses, than perhaps in any other town of the same size. In streets of business, the rents average from 6 to 8 per cent. on the cost. Dwelling houses average from 4 to 6 per cent. Lexington is situated in the centre of the most beautiful part of the state. In salubrity of cli- mate and fertility of soil, it is probably rarely surpassed. The soil is so luxuriant that it pro- succession, without the aid of manure. The beauty and variety of the forest foliage, and the richness and verdure in the fieldsm render it a feast to the eye—and its aptitude for every species of culture, highly recommend it to the agricultur- ist. There is a great number of elegant coun- try seats around it, among which that of Col. [Colonel] Meade claims a most distinguished place. The venerable proprietor is above eighty five years old, and has been married about 60 years. His faculties do not appear impaired. His wife, near- ly as old as he, is still living. Lexington has a respectable Library, which contains at present 5800 volumes, and is gradu- ally increasing. It is open every afternoon ex- cept Sunday. The town contains nine churches: two Pres- byterianm one Episcopalian, one Catholic, two Methodist, one Baptist, one Unitarian, and one African. In the Transylvania University there are five medical professors and one professor in law. In the preparatory department, there is one tutor. The academy, which is connected with the U- niversity, is under the government of a president and two professors. The number of students in January last, was 203. The College is an elegant and commodious building. The Library contains a valuable col- lection of historical, scientific, and miscellaneous works, in various languages. The apparatus is complete and excellent, and was imported from the best maufactories in Europe. The build- ing for the medical department is a handsome brick edifice, well adapted for its purposes. The library of this department, is an excellent collection, of from 2500 to 3000 volumes, selec- ted in Europe by Dr. Caldwell, despatched for that special duty. The Academical and Classical departments have suffered considerably during the last year, for want of a president and of funds; but the lat- ter have been supplied by the exertions of some public spirited citizens of Lexington, who are determined to sustain the College. And there is reason to believe that under the new president, Mr. Woods, late of Providence, R. I., who com- mences his career during the present month, these departments will be revived and be placed on as prosperous a foundation as the department of medicine. There is a literary society in the town, called the Kentucky Institute, founded by the late Pre- sident Holly; of which the members meet at each other's housed months, in alphabetical or- der. The trade of Lexington is not quite so flou- rishing as formerly. This arises chiefly from the superior advantages afforded by steam naviga- tion to Louisville and Cincinnati, which have drawn off a portion of the trade that formerly centered in Lexington. The major part of the citizens of the south-western states, who former- ly either sojourned in Lexington or passed thro' it, during the sickly months, now direct their steps to Cincinnati. This has cut off a source of the prosperity of the former town. In order to revive the trade and commerce of Lexington, some of its public-spirited citizens contemplate the formation of a society for the promotion of internal improvement, similar to that formed in this city, which gave such accel- eration to the canal system in Pennsylvania — The object is to disseminate, as widely as possi- ble, essays calculated to arouse the citizens ge- nerally to the necessity of facilitating the com- munication between the different parts of the state, so as to act upon the Legislature, and im- pel them to adopt efficient measures for the pur- pose. The scarcity of water debars Kentucky from the prospect of ever enjoying the advan- tage of canals, except on a very contracted scale. A rail road is contemplated from Lexington to Louisville or Cincinnati, or perhaps ultimate- ly to both. This measure would be transcend- ently important to Lexington, and not only pre- vent any further diminution of ???, but would generally enhance it, and pay a noble in- terest to the undertakers. Lexington, however, enjoys advantages of which she can never be deprived. She has num- bers of most important manufactures, unfailing sources of wealth and prosperity. There are in the town, ten manufactories of cotton bagging and bale rope, in which 500 peo- ple are employed, of whom not more than two per cent. are white. There are in other parts of the state as many more. The annual produce is nearly one million of yards of cotton bagging, and 2,000,000 lbs. of bale rope, besides large quantities of twine and yarns. There are ten cotton manufactories, some of them on a large and respectable scale. The Fayette factory, near the town, spins weekly between 4 and 5000 dozen cotton, and has re- cently put up looms to make about 50 pieces of muslin, 30 yards each, per week, Mr. James Weir's cotton factory works up about 250 bales of cotton per annum. There are three woollen manufactories. The Lexington white and red lead manufac- turing company, manufactures annually from 80 to 100,000 lbs. of white, and about 10,000 lbs. of red lead. The stock is about $60,000, and the dividends are about 8 per cent per annum. Besides these manufactories, there is a great number of other establishments, embracing nearly all the varieties of employments that con- duce to human comfort or security—grist mills, paper mills, breweries of beer and porter, rope walks, distilleries, founderies, manufactories of nails, &c. &c. &c. In the neighbourhood of Lexington, about 2000 tons of hemp are raised annually. The culture has greatly increased of Page 2 late. Besides hemp, the state produces for ex- port, tobacco, Indian corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, flour, hourses, cattle, sheep, hogs, mules, &c. &.c. There are three papers published in Lexing- ton, two political and one religious. In the state there are from 20 to 25. Kentucky has suffered greatly by the fluctua- tions of her paper currency, by the bankruptcy of her banks and by her relief laws, &c &c. She is not recovering from her difficulties, and has one specie paying bank, with a number of bran- ches, of which the paper is in a perfectly sound state. Her broken banks are winding up their concerns. The bank of the United States has two branches in the state, one at Lexington and the other at Louisville. Louisville is a very thriving town, and is sup- posed to have about 6000 inhabitants. The important canal at the falls with probably be completed next year. Opinions are much divi- ded as to its effects upon the prosperity of the town--some believing it will prove highly ben- eficial, and others directly the reverse. The former opinion appears the more natural. It will be very injurious to Shippingport, a town about two miles from Lousiville, containing above 2000 inhabitants, the prosperity of which de- pends in a great measure, upon being the depot for merchandize, which, except when the river is high, cannot be conveyed round the falls, by water. In Lexington and Louisville, a custom pre- vails, which adds greatly to the comfort of soci- ety, and which is not usual in our great cities-- In nine cases out of ten, where intimacies exist between married men, they extend to the fe- males of the respective families. Whereas it is well known that in Philadelphia and New York, intimacies frequently exist for years between married men, whose wives are unknown to each other. It now remains to take a rapid sketch of the character of the citizens of Kentucky. That character is on the whole estimable. Its distin- guishing features are, a high degree of shrewd- ness and intelligence--natural politeness un- trammelled by the formality, the etiquette, and the distincition of casts, that generally prevail in older stages of society--and genuine hospita- lity towards strangers. In these three very im- portant items, Kentucky will advantageously compare with any state int he Union. This cha- racter is derived from an impartial examination of its citizens, in steam boats, in taverns, in sta- ges, at ordinaries, in private circles, and in large parties. I am well aware that it by no means corresponds with the prejudices of the general- ity of the citizens of the other states, and shall endeavour to shew whereon those prejudices rest, and the reason why they are so erroneous. Such prejudices are highly pernicious when they prevail among members of the same family of nations, exciting alienation and hostility--and I therefore hope that the attempt to obliterate them will not be regarded with indifference by those whose good opinion is worth cultivating. There are few sources of error more prolific, than the habit to which mankind are prone, of generalizing without adequate data--and from individual cases inferring the character & quali- ties of communities and nations. We have heard of travellers, who pronounced dogmatically on the character of a nation from an intercourse with a few persons in a town or city--and one is particularly renowned, who having seen, on the day of his arrival, a number of old and homely women, and none either young or beautiful, is reported to have very judiciously entered among his memorabilia, "N. B. All the women in this place "old and ugly." It is not very honourable to human nature that this tendency to generalization is more pre- valent as regards deformity of character than the contrary. Fifty upright or virtuous indivi- duals, of any particular profession, community, or nation, will not be so likely to induce us to pourtray the whole mass couleur de rose, as ten or a dozen fradulent or worthless persons to lead us to assume a general wirthlessness. When once a national character is blemished, whether right or wrong, every incident that oc- curs, tending to afford any sort of support to the blemish, is caught at with avidity, and re- garded as "confirmation strong as proofs from holy writ." Whereas ten cases equally strong, occurring in nations not lying under such blem- ish, attach no national disgrace. It is within the recollection of most of us, that a strong prejudice prevailed against the people of New England, at no very distant day; & eve- ry petty trick perpetrated by a New England man was triumphantly adduced in full proof of the correctness of the prejudice. Thus the whole district of country, containing above a million and a half of souls, was made responsible for the misconduct of every individual in it.-- The injustice of this procedure is now well known and acknowledged by men of liberal minds-- although it still lingers among a few of the low & the vulgar. To apply this reasoning to Kentucky, among the early settlers in that state were many low, disorderly, and profligate characters, by whom it was regarded as a place of refuge, an asylum for the abandoned and worthless. Though those characters bore but a small proportion to the mass of the populations, they served to affix a stigma on the whole. Such a stigma is not easily removed--and it is to be regretted that little or no pains have been taken to remove it, although a total change has taken place--and although the people of the state may fairly vie with their fellow citizens of other states. One circumstance which tends to perpetuate the prejudice is the conduct of the Kentucky boatmen on the Ohio and Mississippi, some of whom appear to pride themselves on the rough- ness and rudeness of their manners--"half horse, half alligator," &c. But it would be quite as just to characterise the inhabitants of New York from the conduct of the boatmen who ply at the ferries on the Hudson or the East River, as the people of Kentucky from the boatmen of the O- hio and Mississippi. Many people believe that human life is most wantonly sported with in Kentucky--and that there is danger of murder in passing through the state. This is a miserable error. That ho- micide has increased within a few years in the United States, is a lamentable truth--and that Kentucky has partaken of the crime is beyond doubt. But it is equally true that it is full as prevalent in some, and more prevalent in other states to which no particular censure attaches on this ground. The writer of this has travelled a consider- able distance through the state--sojourned some time in Lexington and Louisville,--and had very extensive intercourse with citizens of various descriptions, and different parties: and during the whole time never met with or saw a single instance of the slightest departure from the strictest rules of propriety and decorum, even in classes among whom such a departure is else- where not unfrequent. So far as Lexington is concerned, he believes that in every thing that renders society respectable, it is not inferior to any city or town in the Union. HAMILTON. Philadelphia, Aug. 23, 1828.

Title A name given to the resource The Sanders-Bullitt Family Papers Subject The topic of the resource Plantation life--Southern States--Kentucky--History Description An account of the resource A reworking of the Bullitt family papers to highlight the people enslaved by the Bullitt family on the Oxmoor plantation and the Cottonwood plantation from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. One of these families includes the Sanders family, headed by Eliza Sanders and her husband, Jim Sanders. While not all people enslaved by the Bullitt family were tied by blood to the Sanders family, the digitization and exhibition of these sources aim to recognize all of the people and families enslaved by the Bullitt family and bring academic attention to the complex community they fostered among each other while in bondage. This digital collection only represents a small, selective portion of the Bullitt Family Papers, and you can access the finding aid for the entire collection here: https://filsonhistorical.org/research-doc/bullittfamilyoxmoor-html/. Throughout this project, which was funded by the Kentucky Genealogical Society, we have sought guidance from a number of resources made by fellow public historians and archivists that we would like to credit. The most influential of these is the Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia (A4BLiP) association and their Anti-Racist Metadata Resources document, published in 2020. This document was immensely valuable to this project and we hope to continue referencing the work of A4BLiP in future initiatives. You can access this document on their website (https://archivesforblacklives.wordpress.com/) or at the following link: https://archivesforblacklives.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/ardr_202010.pdf. We have also consulted the "Engaging Descendent Communities in the Interpretation of Slavery" rubric from James Madison's Montpelier, a document made in partnership with National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African-American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. This document was created by and for public historians during the National Summit for Teaching Slavery, held at Montpelier in February 2018. You can learn more about the summit, and download the rubric, here: https://digitaldoorway.montpelier.org/project/national-summit-on-teaching-slavery/. Another resource referenced during this project was The Reckoning podcast, produced by Dan Gediman, Loretta Williams, and Nancy Rosenbaum, which featured much of the Filson's materials and nurtured a conversation between descendants of people enslaved at Oxmoor and the ways our society has yet to reckon with the legacy of slavery. You can access the podcast, along with other educational materials on the history of enslavement in Kentucky, at the following link: https://reckoningradio.org/. Special thanks to Shirley Harmon, now curator at the Oxmoor Farm Historic Site, for cataloguing this massive collection all those years ago. The only reason that this digitization project was possible was because of your work in noting the names of enslaved people while cataloguing, knowing that it would be useful one day. Thank you. This collection will be added to and revised as further information arises, and as new evidence of the people enslaved by the Bullitt family is found. This project does not and never can include every single person the Bullitt family enslaved, as many enslaved people in Kentucky and beyond have been intentionally erased or ignored from the historical record. Furthermore, the fact that few enslaved people had last names while in bondage can make genealogical research difficult for descendants. Many, but not all, enslaved people adopted the last name of their former enslaver after Emancipation. This collection includes people who were enslaved by the Speed, Bullitt, Stites, Fry, Chenoweth, Christian, Massie, Dixon, Gwathmey, Huie, Garrard, Breckenridge, and Courtenay families, among others. We hope the digitization of and open access to these materials can aid descendants of these families in their search for their ancestors.

This project does not and never can include every single person the Bullitt family enslaved, as many enslaved people in Kentucky and beyond have been intentionally erased or ignored from the historical record. Furthermore, the fact that few enslaved people had last names while in bondage can make genealogical research difficult for descendants. Many, but not all, enslaved people adopted the last name of their former enslaver after Emancipation. This collection includes people who were enslaved by the Speed, Bullitt, Stites, Fry, Chenoweth, Christian, Massie, Dixon, Gwathmey, Huie, Garrard, Breckenridge, and Courtenay families, among others. We hope the digitization of and open access to these materials can aid descendants of these families in their search for their ancestors.

Title A name given to the resource The Sanders-Bullitt Family Papers Subject The topic of the resource Plantation life--Southern States--Kentucky--History Description An account of the resource A reworking of the Bullitt family papers to highlight the people enslaved by the Bullitt family on the Oxmoor plantation and the Cottonwood plantation from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. One of these families includes the Sanders family, headed by Eliza Sanders and her husband, Jim Sanders. While not all people enslaved by the Bullitt family were tied by blood to the Sanders family, the digitization and exhibition of these sources aim to recognize all of the people and families enslaved by the Bullitt family and bring academic attention to the complex community they fostered among each other while in bondage.

Throughout this project, which was funded by the Kentucky Genealogical Society, we have sought guidance from a number of resources made by fellow public historians and archivists that we would like to credit. The most influential of these is the Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia (A4BLiP) association and their Anti-Racist Metadata Resources document, published in 2020. This document was immensely valuable to this project and we hope to continue referencing the work of A4BLiP in future initiatives. You can access this document on their website (https://archivesforblacklives.wordpress.com/) or at the following link: https://archivesforblacklives.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/ardr_202010.pdf. We have also consulted the "Engaging Descendent Communities in the Interpretation of Slavery" rubric from James Madison's Montpelier, a document made in partnership with National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African-American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. This document was created by and for public historians during the National Summit for Teaching Slavery, held at Montpelier in February 2018. You can learn more about the summit, and download the rubric, here: https://digitaldoorway.montpelier.org/project/national-summit-on-teaching-slavery/. Another resource referenced during this project was The Reckoning podcast, produced by Dan Gediman, Loretta Williams, and Nancy Rosenbaum, which featured much of the Filson's materials and nurtured a conversation between descendants of people enslaved at Oxmoor and the ways our society has yet to reckon with the legacy of slavery.

This document was immensely valuable to this project and we hope to continue referencing the work of A4BLiP in future initiatives. You can access this document on their website (https://archivesforblacklives.wordpress.com/) or at the following link: https://archivesforblacklives.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/ardr_202010.pdf. We have also consulted the "Engaging Descendent Communities in the Interpretation of Slavery" rubric from James Madison's Montpelier, a document made in partnership with National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African-American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. This document was created by and for public historians during the National Summit for Teaching Slavery, held at Montpelier in February 2018. You can learn more about the summit, and download the rubric, here: https://digitaldoorway.montpelier.org/project/national-summit-on-teaching-slavery/. Another resource referenced during this project was The Reckoning podcast, produced by Dan Gediman, Loretta Williams, and Nancy Rosenbaum, which featured much of the Filson's materials and nurtured a conversation between descendants of people enslaved at Oxmoor and the ways our society has yet to reckon with the legacy of slavery. You can access the podcast, along with other educational materials on the history of enslavement in Kentucky, at the following link: https://reckoningradio.org/. Special thanks to Shirley Harmon, now curator at the Oxmoor Farm Historic Site, for cataloguing this massive collection all those years ago. The only reason that this digitization project was possible was because of your work in noting the names of enslaved people while cataloguing, knowing that it would be useful one day. Thank you. This collection will be added to and revised as further information arises, and as new evidence of the people enslaved by the Bullitt family is found. This project does not and never can include every single person the Bullitt family enslaved, as many enslaved people in Kentucky and beyond have been intentionally erased or ignored from the historical record. Furthermore, the fact that few enslaved people had last names while in bondage can make genealogical research difficult for descendants. Many, but not all, enslaved people adopted the last name of their former enslaver after Emancipation. This collection includes people who were enslaved by the Speed, Bullitt, Stites, Fry, Chenoweth, Christian, Massie, Dixon, Gwathmey, Huie, Garrard, Breckenridge, and Courtenay families, among others. We hope the digitization of and open access to these materials can aid descendants of these families in their search for their ancestors.

Subject The topic of the resource Plantation life--Southern States--Kentucky--History Description An account of the resource A letter from Susan Peachy Bullitt (Oxmoor) to her brother John C. Bullitt (Lexington), dated October 13th, 1844. Susan Bullitt reports on the condition of the slaves, saying Fannie died and Lydia was much better. There is also a mention of Henry being healed from an illness, but it is unclear if Susan is talking about Henry Massie Bullitt (who would have been two at the time) or the enslaved man Henry Shipp. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Susan P.
