Yeatman-Polk Papers, 1804-1970 State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 YEATMAN-POLK PAPERS 1804-1970 Processed by: Caresse M. Parker Archival Technical Services Accession Number: 71-007 Date Completed: February 25, 1971 Location: VIII-B-E Microfilm Accession Number: 1073 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION This collection is centered around the descendents of Lieutenant Colonel William Polk (1758-1834) of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, officer in the Revolutionary War; surveyor-general of that part of North Carolina which is now Tennessee; owner of extensive Tennessee lands; representative of Davidson County in the General Assembly of North Carolina (1786); representative of Mecklenburg County in the North Carolina House of Common (1787, 1790-1791); supervisor of United States revenue for the district of North Carolina (1791-1808); president of the North Carolina state bank at Raleigh (1811-1819); trustee of Davidson Academy and the University of North Carolina; Mason; and Federalist, and Colonel John Donelson (1718-1785), surveyor; member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Assembly of Virginia during the Revolutionary War; officer in the Revolutionary War; pioneer; land owner; and co- founder with James Robertson of the settlement on the Cumberland River which became Nashville. The major portion of the collection is correspondence of the descendents of Lucius Junius Polk (1803-1870), son of Colonel William Polk, representative from Maury County in the Tennessee Senate (1831); Adjutant General of Tennessee (1851- 1853); active Mason; and planter, who built “Hamilton Place” at Ashwood, Maury County, Tennessee. The Yeatman-Polk Collection was placed on deposit in the Manuscript Unit of the Tennessee State Library and Archives by Dr. Trezevant Player Yeatman, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee; Dr. Henry Clay Yeatman, Sewanee, Tennessee; and Mrs. Joseph L. Whiteside, St. Louis, Missouri, children of Trezevant Player and Mary (Wharton) Yeatman. The materials in this collection measure 47.88 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the papers. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the Yeatman-Polk Collection may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Yeatman-Polk Collection, containing approximately 35,000 items and 60 volumes, extends over the years 900-1970. Most of the papers are however, dated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The collection is composed of correspondence; accounts; almanacs; awards; biographical and genealogical data; calling cards; cartoons; catalogs; church records; diaries; journals, and memoirs; eulogies; invitations; land records (deeds, grants, survey records, title registrations); legal documents (birth certificates, bonds, and agreements, briefs, charters, internal revenue reports, licenses, petitions, visas); letterbooks, livestock registration; maps; military records (appointments questionnaires); minutes; newspapers clippings; oaths; obituaries; patterns; pension data; photographs and photograph albums; postcards; programs; publications; recipes; reports; school records; scrapbooks, sketches; speeches; time books; wills and estate papers; and writings. The most prominent figure in the collection is Mary Eastin (Wharton) Yeatman (1883- 1970), wife, mother, and community and church leader, who through her marriage to Trezevant Player Yeatman (1871-1959) in 1913, united in the twentieth century the families of John Donelson (1718-1785), surveyor, member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Assembly of Virginia during the Revolutionary War; officer in Revolutionary War; pioneer; land owner; and co-founder with James Robertson of the settlement on the Cumberland River became Nashville, and Lieutenant Colonel William Polk (1758-1834), of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, officer in the Revolutionary War; surveyor-general of that part of North Carolina which is now part of Tennessee; owner of extensive Tennessee lands; representative of Davidson County in the General Assembly of North Carolina (1786); representative of Mecklenburg County in the North Carolina House of Commons (1787, 1790-1791); supervisor of United States revenue for the district of North Carolina (1791-1808); president of the North Carolina state bank at Raleigh (1811-1819); trustee of Davidson Academy and the University of North Carolina; Mason; and Federalist. Mary Yeatman’s correspondence composed of 1, 081 letters written between 1899 and 1968, is predominately with members of her family. Her early correspondence is with her sisters, Sarah (Wharton) Walker (1875-1903) and Anne Louise (Wharton) (1885- ), and her brothers, William Henry (1878-1954) and Richard Currey (1838-1899) and Mary Eliza (Currey) Wharton (1849-1893). Later correspondence is with her husband and her children, Trezevant Player, Jr. (1914- ), Henry Clay (1916- ), and Mary Jane (1918- ), as well as other family members and friends. In addition to familial interests, her letters mention politics, economic conditions during the 1929 depression, Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, and World War II. They are concerned with organization such as the DAR, the Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation, the Student’s Club of Columbia, and the Protestant Episcopal Church in Tennessee. In collection there is correspondence from five generation of the Donelson family. The earliest letters are from Captain John Donelson (1755-1830). Written in 1825 and 1829, they deal primarily with family news and the death of William Eastin Donelson’s son-in- laws. Six letters of William Eastin deal with business, the cotton trade, and the factorage system. Additional correspondents of the Donelson and Eastin families include Andrew Jackson Donelson (2 letters), Daniel Smith Donelson (1 letter), Eliza (Eastin) Donelson (3 letters), Emily Tennessee Donelson (2 letters), Margaret (Branch) Donelson (2 letters), Samuel Donelson (1 letter), and Susie Eastin (7 letters). Three letters of John Donelson Eastin are concerned with cotton and slavery. The Donelson and Polk families were first united in 1832 in the White House when Lucius Junius Polk (1803-1870), representative from Maury County in the Tennessee Senate (1831); Adjutant General of Tennessee (1851-1853); active Mason; and planter, married Mary Ann Eastin (1810-1847), daughter of William and Rachel Eastin and a favorite niece of President Andrew Jackson. Lucius Polk, third son of Colonel William Polk, had settled in Maury County, Tennessee, on the water’s of Carter’s Creek in 1823. Eight years later when he and three brothers, Leonidas (1806-1864), each received from their father about thirteen hundred acres of land lying in a tract six or eight miles west of Columbia, Tennessee, on the Mt. Pleasant turnpike, Lucius built “Hamilton Place”. To that home he carried his bride the following year. The sons of Colonel William Polk were wealthy and influential planters in Maury County. John Catron wrote of Lucius Polk in 1825, “I have never seen a more energetic (sic), prompt, and certain man…” Thirty-nine letters of Lucius J. Polk, written between 1820 and 1870, make this evident. His letters include topics such as cotton trade and cotton prices, slavery, land, the railroads, debt, and politics. They provide not only an interesting picture of Middle Tennessee plantation life, but also a picture of southern economic and political life in the antebellum period. The collection contains correspondence of all ten of Lucius Polk’s children. Eight children were borne by his first wife Mary Ann Eastin. Two children were borne by Ann (Erwin) Pope (1823-1858) whom Polk married six years after the death of his first wife in 1847. There are thirty-eight letters by Sarah Rachel (Polk) Jones; twenty-three letters of Emily Donelson (Polk) Williams; twenty letters of Frances Anne (Polk) Dillion; forty- nine letters of Susan Rebecca (Polk) Brown; forty-six letters of George Washington Polk; fifteen letters of Lucius Junius Polk, Jr.; and fourteen letters of Ella (Polk) Cooper. The most interesting letters are those of Will Polk, Mary Brown (Polk) Yeatman, and Eliza Eastin Polk. These children of Lucius J. Polk lived part or all of their adult lives at “Hamilton Place” Fifty-one letters of Eliza Polk provide a very interesting picture of life in life in Tennessee from 1851-1893. After the marriage of Mary Brown Polk and Henry Clay Yeatman in 1858, “Hamilton Place” became the home of Yeatman and Bell families and well as the Polk family. Henry Clay Yeatman (1831-1910), businessman, commercial agent, and aide-de-camp to General Leonidas Polk during the Civil War, was the son of Thomas Yeatman (1787- 1833) and Jane Erwin (1797-1877). A wealthy merchant and banker in Nashville, Tennessee, Thomas Yeatman formed a partnership in a commission business with Robert Woods in 1820 and founded the banking firm of Woods, Yeatman and Company, which at one time maintained a branch office as far east as Baltimore. At his death in 1833 Yeatman’s widow and children were heirs to an estate valued at $500, 000. One letter of Thomas Yeatman, written in the year of his death, is in the collection. About three years later the most eligible widow in Nashville married one of the most eligible widowers. John Bell (1797-1869), lawyer; Tennessee state legislator (1817); United States Representatives from Tennessee (1827-1841); Speaker of the House of Representatives (1834); Secretary of War (1841); United States Senator from Tennessee (1847-1859); a founder of the Whig Party; and Presidential

  • Reframing the Plantation House: Preservation Critique in Southern Literature
    WEBB, CYNTHIA MONTGOMERY, Ph.D. Reframing the Plantation House: Preservation Critique in Southern Literature. (2015) Directed by Dr. Scott Romine. 238 pp. This dissertation contextualizes southern narrative critiques of plantation house preservation through the historic preservation movement, from its precursory development in the 1930s through today. Examining literary representations of plantation houses as historic relics in the contemporary moment, I demonstrate how a range of twentieth- and twenty-first century southern writers critique or challenge its architectural preservation. The southern plantation house has been coded in American popular culture as an exemplar of architectural heritage and a symbol of southern history, both of which beckon its preservation. Various modes of preservation, from nineteenth-century plantation fiction’s reminiscence of family homes and heroes to twenty-first century’s thriving tourism industry, figure the plantation owner’s house in romanticized ways that celebrate its architectural aesthetics, present its history through a narrow register of racial relations, and promote its nostalgic embrace. I argue that against prevailing tendencies toward various uncritical ethos of preservation, William Faulkner, Walker Percy, Alice Randall, Attica Locke, Allan Gurganus, and Godfrey Cheshire reframe the plantation house within complex historical and cultural contexts that counter the developing historic preservation movement’s popular following by illuminating the mythologies undergirding the iconic white-columned architecture and their perpetuation through its preservation. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Reframing the Plantation House combines architectural history, historic preservation, and a significant level of textual literary analysis to reveal counter-narratives that unsettle an assumed historical integrity and cultural significance associated with extant plantation houses.
