Location Number:  Mss. A P831

Scope and Content Note

Collection consists of genealogical information on Pottinger and related families, collected by Samuel Forrest Pottinger from about 1900 to 1942. Pottinger bound his research into 16 volumes and a scrapbook, entitled, “The Pottenger Papers: John Pottenger, Gentleman, of the Province of Maryland, and some of his Descendants.”  The content of the bound volumes was removed into folders for preservation.

The first three files consist of typescript, but as the volumes progress, they include more notes, correspondence, and transcribed documents such as wills, inventories of estate, lawsuits, and land papers.  Pottinger developed a form to send out to different members of the Pottinger family to complete their history; he also worked with archives in England and had a private researcher, George Sherwood, working for him in London.

The records include some originals, such as letters and receipts, which date back to the late eighteenth century, but mostly consist of transcripts and twentieth century correspondence.  Pottinger corresponded with many family members and distant cousins in his search for genealogical information, not only on the Pottinger family, but many of the other family names related to descendents of John Pottenger. (A note on the spelling; Pottinger ancestors in England and early in the United States spelled the name “Pottenger;” the spelling Pottinger seems to have come into vogue in the nineteenth century.) Allied families include: Gray, Withrow, Gilkey, Caldwell, Logan, Jameson, Rice, Bohannon, Pulliam, Stuart, Beall, Willett, Griffith, Phelps, Neall, Magruder, Masterson, Evans, and others.  Please see the folder listing for specific information about content.

Folders 13 and 15 have been digitized and are accessible through the links in the list below.

Separation Note:  Photographs of Anne Pottinger Withrow (1773-1853), Jane Withrow (1795-1872), and Lucinda Jameson Pottinger (1791-1867) were transferred to the Filson’s Photograph Collection, as was a tintype photograph of Emeline Pottinger Blincoe (1818-1901).

 

Biographical Note

Samuel Forrest Pottinger created a genealogical collection for Pottinger and related families. Pottinger was a collector of revenue for the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., and lived in Maryland.  His research into the Pottinger genealogy begins with a John Pottenger of Berkshire, England, who immigrated to Maryland in 1685.  Members of the family, notably Captain Samuel Pottenger, began to move into Kentucky in the 1770s., establishing a station on Pottenger’s Creek in Nelson County.

Scope and Content Note

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company Records consist of documents pertaining to the financial and legal contracts made by the railroad with various entities. These mostly appear as formally-worded, handwritten contracts and memorandums of agreement between Louisville and Nashville Railroad, or other related, regional railroads, and another party. The records also contain bond certificates, handwritten receipts, coupons, and a few engineering drawings.

The railroad’s contracts appear to have been arranged in a filing system with a number stamped on the document and an accompanying envelope. There are several sets of numbered contracts within the records, none of them appearing to be complete series. The contracts document agreements between railroads and companies in regard to purchase and delivery of railroad materials and equipment, mail and telegraph services, purchase and maintenance of locomotives and cars, purchase of land, leases of rooms, purchase of stocks, bonds, coupons and the buying of rights to patents. There are railroad consolidation actions, actions of the states of Florida and Tennessee, and obligatory construction if machine shops in Hopkinsville. They also contain breaches of contract resulting in missing shipments, disgruntled employees, and nonpayment of taxes to the City of Louisville.

One contract with Compagnie des Fondries & Forges de Terre-noire, la Voulte et Bessèges in Lyon, France and dated 1873, is written in French and is for the purchase of 2012 rails “28 feet longer than usual” and “guaranteed for a period of five years.”

Some contracts drawn up by other railroads include Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad, Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad, Evansville, Owensboro and Nashville Railroad, and documents generated by the Alabama and Florida Railroad and the North and South Alabama Railroad. Documents also detail an agreement between Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad and Louisville and Nashville to pay for repairs. There are also blank forms written up for meetings of directors and shareholders of a Tennessee and Kentucky Railroad Company.

Correspondence of a business nature, including letters and telegraphs, cover topics related to those in the contracts. There are also two folders of correspondence with Dr. Norvin Green in Louisville, the president of the Louisville, Cincinnati, and Lexington Railroad, sent by attorneys Albert S. Berry, M. J. Dudley, and James R. Hallam, all of whom are located in northern Kentucky and mostly dealing with purchase of property and rights of way for the railroad. There are also a few letters concerning a trial between Green and Berry due to a disagreement over services.

Historical Note

The Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N) was chartered on March 5, 1850, by the Commonwealth of Kentucky “…to build a railroad between Louisville, Kentucky, and the Tennessee state line in the direction of Nashville.” On December 4, 1851, an act of the Tennessee General Assembly authorized the company to extend its road from the Tennessee state line to Nashville. Laying of track began at Ninth Street and Broadway in Louisville in May of 1853. By 1855, the founding fathers of the L&N, most of them Louisville citizens, had raised nearly $3 million to finance the construction. The first train to operate over the railroad ran on August 25, 1855, when some 300 people traveled eight miles from Louisville at a speed of 15 mph.

A little more than four years later, on October 27, 1859, the first train operated all the way from Louisville to Nashville, joining the two namesake cities. For all practical purposes, the 187-mile railroad was complete. Scheduled trains began running a few days later, and with the exception of war, fire, and several floods, ran throughout the 132-year history of the L&N. The total cost of this original construction was $7,221,204.91.
Throughout its early decades, the railroad would acquire land and lines in many surrounding states. Within a period of 30 years, through construction and acquisition of existing short line railroads, the L&N extended its tracks to St. Louis in Missouri, Cincinnati in Ohio, Birmingham and Mobile in Alabama, Pensacola in Florida, and New Orleans in Louisiana. 56 railroads were acquired, leased, or constructed during the 1880s and 1890s, as the L&N system began to take its final form.

For more information on the history of the L&N, see the Louisville Encyclopedia article by Charles B. Castner (Kleber, John, ed. The Louisville Encyclopedia. Lexington, The University Press of Kentucky, 2001): 528-530.

Biographical Note

 

Robert Worth Bingham (1871-1937) was a Louisville, Ky., lawyer, politician, newspaperman (owner/publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times newspapers), and diplomat (serving 1933-1937 as ambassador to the Court of St. James).  Bingham was active in local, state, and national politics. Bingham served as interim mayor of Louisville for a few months in the year 1907, but failed to win the special election for the office later that year. Though a Democrat, he ran on the Republican ticket for a position on the Kentucky Court of Appeals. He was eventually appointed to Jefferson Circuit Court in 1911 and became known as “Judge” Bingham for the rest of his life.

 

Bingham was a supporter of the farm products cooperative movement, both in Kentucky and nationally. He corresponded with politicians throughout the United States, looking for support of his favorite causes. These causes include farm cooperatives, wildlife preserves on military bases and improved education for African-Americans and the poor. In his personal life, Bingham was an avid hunter who kept a kennel of bird dogs and hunted internationally; he also owned a yacht, the Eala. He used the yacht himself, but he also leased it out to other people. Bingham had a particular interest in Joan of Arc, maintaining a collection of books, prints, and other materials related to the French saint, in both English and French, some of which is included in this collection.

Biographical Note

Ronald Reginald Van Stockum was born seven days after his father, Sergeant Reginald Barcham, was killed in the battle of the Somme in 1916. His mother, Florence Barcham, born in England and then living in France, moved to the United States and married again to A. William Van Stockum, who adopted the young man. Van Stockum grew up on the west coast and graduated from the ROTC program at the University of Washington in 1937. From there he attended the Officers School at the Marine Barracks at the Naval Yards in Philadelphia.

He began his career in the Marines as a Lieutenant on the USS Tennessee. He made his first trip through the Panama Canal with that ship and was part of the crew that showed the flag at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York. He was later transferred to the USS Wasp and was part of the North Atlantic fleet protecting convoys in U.S. waters before the U.S engagement in World War II. When the U.S. entered the war, Van Stockum had been promoted to Captain and was still aboard the Wasp. He served on the ship as it made two runs into the Mediterranean Sea to deliver Spitfire fighters to Malta in 1942.

Van Stockum left the Wasp before it was sunk by a Japanese torpedo. He trained in New Zealand and then was part of the invasions of Bougainville, Guam and Iwo Jima. By the end of the war he was promoted to Colonel and had received several medals including a Bronze Star. After the war he was involved with training and recruiting for the Marines before being sent to Japan in the early 1950s.

After his time in Japan, he was involved in an exercise in Thule, Greenland and was later part of the Army’s Arctic Training School. He then was sent to the Canadian Defense College and after assigned to Camp Lejeune, N.C. While at Camp Lejeune he found himself serving as the aggressor “Colonel-General” in a war game, and then as Chief of Staff at the base. His promotion to Brigadier General ended his stay at Camp Lejeune.

His promotion placed Van Stockum with the Marine Reserves in the Pennsylvania/Ohio area traveling on inspection tours of the various units. This lasted until his transfer to Okinawa, Japan in 1966-1967. While on Okinawa, he made several trips through the region, visiting Japan, South Korea and the Republic of Vietnam. He was involved in logistics and transport of people to and from Vietnam. After leaving Okinawa he served as the Marine Representative on the Navy Department Board of Decorations and Medals. He served on the board until his retirement in 1969.

After retirement from the United States Marine Corps, Van Stockum moved to his wife’s family farm in Shelby County, Kentucky. He worked at the University of Louisville as an administrative officer, including time as the Assistant Dean of Administration of the School of Medicine, until he retired from the civilian workforce.  He also served on Louisville’s Armed Forces Commission. After his civilian retirement, he served as President of the Filson Club and later as its temporary director.   Van Stockum also authored two books on Shelby County and Kentucky history.

Van Stockum married Susanne Meriwether Henning de Charette (12 April 1915-20 May 2000); they had three children, Michele Herzog, Ronald Reginald Jr., and Charles Anthony.
