167. [SLAVERY IN TEXAS: THE LUNDY GANG]. Three documents on the disputed ownership of the group of slaves known as “The Lundy Gang.” (1) Manuscript power of attorney, signed by Elizabeth Lynch Prioleau, of Charleston, South Carolina, appointing Wilmot B. De Saussure as her agent to sell her slaves in Texas. Childwall Parrish, Lancaster County, Great Britain, December 30, 1858. 1-1/2 pp., folio, plus manuscript docketing. (2) Printed affidavit completed in manuscript, in which Beverley Tucker, U.S. Consul in Liverpool, affirms Prioleau's identity. 1 p., 8vo, seal. (3) Manuscript order and bill of sale, signed by Albertus C. Spain, W. F. B. Haynesworth, et al., transferring ownership of “The Lundy Gang” from Mrs. M. M. McRae to Abner Jackson for $8,000. Sumpter District, South Carolina, January 4, 1859. 5 pp., folio, seal.
An interesting group, considering the wide geographic span of the litigation, which originated in Galveston. “The Lundy Gang” was awarded to Abner Jackson (New Handbook III, p. 892), who controlled three magnificent plantations in Brazoria County (over 70,000 acres), was the second largest slave-owner in Texas, and branded more than 5,000 calves annually. We have no clue as to why the group of slaves was called “The Lundy Gang,” and the term seems ironic, since Benjamin Lundy was one of the most ardent abolitionists, particularly with regard to Texas (New Handbook V, p. 338).

Robert was a great nephew of Angelica Singleton, who married the oldest son of Martin van Buren (8th President of America)
A collection of books known as "The Barnwell-Singleton Collection", was donated to the University of South Carolina, Columbia, by Mr. & Mrs. David Phillips, in early 1997, from the family library in the home of Miss Malinda Barnwell of Florence, South Carolina. It consists of two groups of books.
One group contains books from the library of the Revd. Robert Woodward Barnwell (1831-1863), Professor and Chaplain of South Carolina College, and of his son the Revd. Robert Woodward Barnwell (1860-1952), Miss Barnwell's father.
These books cover general belles-lettres, they also have a strong theological (high Episcopalian) element. Notable among them is a first edition of 'George Eliot's' first book, The Life of Jesus, by David Friedrich Strauss, 3 vols. (London: 1846), in original boards, and many volumes of the Tractarian series Lives of the Fathers.
The second group is from the library of Angelica Singleton Van Buren (1816-1877), the South Carolina-born daughter-in-law who was President Martin Van Buren's hostess at the White House. It includes the literary annuals and album poems of her schooldays in Philadelphia, books bought during her European honeymoon tour in 1839, and books reflecting her later interest in social conditions. Additional items with the collection include books from her niece Mary Carter Singleton (a group with many volumes by or about women, from the 1840s and early 1850s), and books from her three sons, Singleton, Travis and Martin.
