John Lafayette Everly Family Historical Narrative
John Lafayette Everly (b. 1837) was a farmer and surveyor in Preston County, West Virginia, and served in the 7th West Virginia Infantry during the Civil War. Two typescript copies of "A Short History of the Everly Family" document John L. Everly's family from the late 18th century to the early 20th century, with an emphasis on Everly's Civil War service and his children. (Although Kenneth Fowler's name is recorded to one of the typescripts, it is unclear who actually authored it.)
John Rogers Correspondence
The collection consists largely of correspondence to Morgantown businessman John Rogers from relatives in Pennsylvania and Maryland. It also includes two letters from Sgt. William A. Widney, who was assigned to the U.S. War Department during the Civil War, to a Morgantown friend (possibly William Hennen). One letter was written by an unidentified woman to her grandson, a West Virginia University student.
