BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

The Cazenove family dates back to the 15th century in the South of France.  Family members were Huguenots who sought refuge in Geneva, Switzerland, after the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.  Active in international commerce, branches of the family settled in England, Italy, Spain, and the United States.  Items in this collection primarily concern the forebears and descendants of Anthony-Charles Cazenove (1775-1852), who settled in Alexandria, Virginia, after emigrating to the United States.  His granddaughters married into the other families represented in the collection, particularly the Lee and du Pont families.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

The collection consists of letters, photographs, marriage records, business papers, medical prescriptions, and other documents, mostly relating to family history and genealogy.  The bulk of material is from the 19th century and offers evidence of an upper class lifestyle, particularly in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Families represented include the Cazenoves, Lees, du Ponts, Hendersons, and Gardners.

The collection has been divided into seven series:

 

            1. Early Cazenove family documents

            2. Commercial and  legal documents and letters from the papers of Cazenove G. Lee, Jr.

ORGANIZATION

 

A brief explanation of the contents of each series is given below.  A fuller description of the contents and more details on individual family members are provided in the description of each series of the collection.

 

Series 1: Early Cazenove Family Documents

 

Consists of letters, marriage contracts and certificates, wills, business contracts, and other miscellaneous documents that record the activities of the Cazenove family in Geneva from 1693 to 1801, but a few papers date into the 1820s.  The highlight is thirty-five letters written from Elizabeth Bessonnet Cazenove to her son Paul, while he was in Paris.  She conveys data on her life and offers him encouragement and advice as he tries to make his way into the world.

 

2. Commercial and legal documents and letters from the papers of Cazenove G. Lee, Jr.

 

These original letters and documents interpret or refer to commercial, mercantile, and legal problems between 1672 and 1841  The bulk of the material relates to the Turberville family of "Hickory Hill" and "Peckatone" in Westmoreland County, Virginia.   A group of letters from Dr. George Steptoe, physician to the Turberville family, contains prescriptions and medical advice.

 

3. Inventory of Henderson family papers

 

Alexander Henderson was the first member of the family to emigrate to the United States from Glasgow, Scotland in 1756.  Descendants married into the Casenove, du Pont, and Lee families.  The inventory includes biographical and genealogical information on the Hendersons and related families along with brief descriptions of the items in the collection.  (The location of the original documents is unknown at this time.)  A name index to the inventory is also available at this repository.  

 

4. Anthony-Charles Cazenove Correspondence

 

Anthony-Charles Cazenove was the second son of Paul Cazenove and Jeanne Elizabeth Martin.  He was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1775.  In 1790, he went to London to work in the counting house of James Cazenove & Co.  He and his brother, John Anthony (Jean-Antoine) emigrated to the Philadelphia, Pa. in 1794 and eventually settled in Alexandria, Virginia.  The bulk of the material consists of letters received by Anthony-Charles Cazenove from friends, contemporaries, and relatives between the years 1791 and 1794 while he was employed in the Counting Office of his cousin James (Jacques) Cazenove in London.  Also included are the first letters he received in America after his arrival in Philadelphia in November, 1794. 

 

5. Mrs. Cassius F. Lee and Mrs. Samuel F. du Pont Correspondence

 

Cassius F. Lee (1808-1890) was the sixth child of Edmund Jennings Lee.  His second wife was Anne Eliza Gardner, daughter of William Collins Gardner and Eliza Francis Cazenove.  She died in 1885.

 

Sophie Madeleine du Pont (1810-1888) was the youngest daughter of Eleuthere Irenee and Sophie Dalmas du Pont.  In 1833, she married her cousin, Samuel Francis du Pont (1812-1865), who became an admiral in the United States Navy.

 

The bulk of this series contains letters written by Mrs. Cassius F. Lee, at her home, Menokin farm, near Alexandria, Va. to her friend Mrs. Samuel Francis du Pont, at Upper Louviers, on the Brandywine, near Wilmington, De. from 1846 to 1878.  Additional letters and documents about the Cazenove, Gardner, and Lee families are also included in this series. 

 

6. Cazenove G. Lee and Marguerite Lammot du Pont Lee

 

Cazenove Gardner Lee was born in 1850.  In 1881, he married Marguerite du Pont, a cousin.  She was born in 1862, the daughter of Eleuthere Irenée du Pont and Charlotte Henderson, who was the granddaughter of Anthony-Charles Cazenove.  They settled in Washington, D.C.

 

The bulk of this series contains letters written by Cazenove Lee and Marguerite du Pont while they were courting in 1880 and 1881.  Many letters were written while Marguerite was in Europe on a grand tour.  Additional letters were written after the couple's marriage during their brief periods of separation. Other materials in this series include letters written by other members of both families to these correspondents or by them to other family members.

 

7. Photographs.

 

This series features over two hundred photographs of members of the Cazenove and related families, most of whom are represented in other parts of the collection.  For the early generations, the photographs are of portraits owned by family members.  Information from envelopes that contained the photographs has been included in the finding aid to identify people and their family relationships.  Of particular note are a mourning picture of a child in her coffin (1853) and a few wedding photographs. Cazenove and Lee family homes are also depicted in photographs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION

 

Location: 34 L 2-5 and Map Case 3, Drawer 1

 

 

Series 1:         Early Cazenove family documents (71x69)

 

Papers in this series relate to Cazenove family members who migrated to Switzerland.  Jean Cazenove was baptized in Geneva on April 10, 1698.  He grew up and remained in the city, marrying Elizabeth Bessonnet on April 4, 1732.  The two had seven children, but only three reached adulthood: Marie Charlotte (b. 1735), Paul (b. 1739), and Philippe-Jean.  Jean died on July 6, 1745, and was survived by his wife for many years.

 

After his father's death, Paul left Geneva for Paris.  Initially, he was employed with the bank of DuFour, Mallet & Co.  Disillusioned, he looked elsewhere for employment and before 1768 returned to Geneva.  He married Elizabeth Martin Le Fort, whose dowry exceeded 30,000 livres.  The  couple took up residence at "Montbrilliant," located outside of Geneva.  Paul and Elizabeth had two sons: Jean-Antoine and Antoine-Charles.  Both sons immigrated to America.

 

The series consists of letters, marriage contracts and certificates, wills, business contracts, documents, and other miscellaneous papers that record the activities of the Cazenove family in Switzerland, The Netherlands, England, and France from 1693 to 1801.  For an English summary of the letters (which are in French) and a fuller description of the other documents (especially .181 and .182), see the separate finding aid available at this repository, numbered Col. 83B.

Series 2:         Commercial and legal documents and letters from the papers of Cazenove G. Lee, Jr. (accession number 68x195)

 

These documents were collected by Cazenove G. Lee, Jr.  The original letters and documents interpret or refer to commercial, mercantile, and legal problems between 1672 and 1841.  They provide information on banking methods, credit practices, dower rights, estate settlements, inheritance problems, land leases, purchases and surveys, property divisions, shipping practices, care and management of slaves, the use of tobacco as currency, and wills.  A group of letters from Dr. George Steptoe, physician to the Turberville family, contains prescriptions and medical advice.

 

The bulk of the material relates to the Turberville family of "Hickory Hill" and "Peckatone" in Westmoreland County, Virginia.  George Turberville was a justice, sheriff, and later clerk of the court.  He was married three times; his third wife, Martha, was the daughter of Richard Lee (of London) and Martha Silk.  Their youngest child, George Richard, was born in 1742 shortly after his father's death.  Martha remarried William Fitzhugh of Maryland.

 

In 1769, George Richard Turberville married Martha Corbin.  She was the only child of Gawin Corbin and Hannah Lee, daughter of Thomas Lee of Stratford.  Gawin inherited the "Peckatone" property from his uncle.  When he died in 1760, he left his estate to his wife and daughter.  Documents in the collection suggest that there was a dispute over the distribution of the property.  George Richard and Martha had two sons, Gawin Corbin and Richard Lee.

 

The items in this series are also available on microfilm, reel number 2487.

Series 3:         Inventory of Henderson family papers (accession number Ph-1223)

 

Alexander Henderson was the first member of the family to emigrate to the United States from Glasgow, Scotland in 1756.  He settled in Virginia to serve as the American representative of several Scottish mercantile firms.  Alexander's brother, Richard, and his nephew, Alexander, also settled in America and were engaged in mercantile activities.

 

In 1773, Alexander married Sarah Moore of Colchester, Virginia.  The couple had six sons.  Three were sent to Ohio in 1799 to open up the new territory and three entered professions.  They also had four daughters.  One of their sons, Archibald Henderson (1783-1859) made his career in the Marine Corps, eventually becoming a Brigadier General.  He married Anne Maria Cazenove (1803-1859), daughter of Anthony (Antoine) Charles Cazenove.  They had nine children.  One of their daughters, Charlotte Shepard Henderson married Eleuthere Irenée du Pont.  Charlotte and Eleuthere had five children, one of whom, Marguerite Lammot du Pont (1862-1936) married Cazenove Gardner Lee of Alexandria, Va.

 

Marguerite preserved the collection of Henderson family papers and passed them on to her daughter-in-law, Dorothy Vandegrift Lee.  An inventory was compiled under her direction.  The inventory includes biographical and genealogical information on the Hendersons and related families along with brief descriptions of the items in the collection.  A name index to the inventory is also available.  The location of the original documents is unknown at this time.

Series 4:         Anthony (Antoine)-Charles Cazenove material (accession numbers 71x106, 71x4, 71x210)

 

Anthony-Charles Cazenove was the second son of Paul Cazenove and Jeanne Elizabeth Martin.  He was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1775.  In 1790, he went to London to work in the counting house of James Cazenove & Co.  He and his brother, John Anthony (Jean-Antoine) emigrated to the Philadelphia, Pa. in 1794 to escape repercussions of the French Revolution.  His cousin, Theophile Cazenove, helped him establish business contacts in a land company upon his arrival.  Soon after, he became a partner in the firm, Albert Gallatin & Co.  A distinguished merchant and financier, he was one of the original subscribers to the stock of the first United States Bank.  Anthony eventually settled in Alexandria, Va.  He served as an elder in the Presbyterian Church for a number of years.

 

In 1797, Anthony married Anne Hogan in Alexandria, Va., where they settled.  They had nine children.  The oldest, Eliza Frances, married William Gardner.  Their daughter, Anne Eliza Gardner, married Cassius F. Lee in 1846, linking the Cazenove and Lee families.  Anthony's son, Louis Albert, was active in his father's mercantile firm.

 

The bulk of the material consists of letters received by Anthony-Charles Cazenove from friends, contemporaries, and relatives between the years 1791 and 1794 while he was employed in the Counting Office of his cousin James (Jacques) Cazenove in London.  Also included are the first letters he received in America after his arrival in Philadelphia in November, 1794.  The impact of the French Revolution can be sensed throughout these letters.

Series 5:         Mrs. Cassius F. Lee - Mrs. Samuel F. du Pont Correspondence (71x210)

 

Cassius F. Lee was the sixth child of Edmund Jennings Lee.  He was born in Alexandria, Va. on May 22, 1808.  Although he was trained as a lawyer, he never practiced; he did serve as clerk of the U.S. Courts.  Later, he entered the mercantile firm of Cazenove & Co.  He was an active member of the Episcopal Church.

 

In 1833, Cassius married Phillipa Ludwell Hopkins; the two had five children, including Cassius F. Lee, Jr. (1844-1892).  His second wife was Anne Eliza Gardner, daughter of William Collins Gardner and Eliza Francis Cazenove.  She was born and raised in Newport, R.I.  After their marriage in 1846, they had six children who lived past infancy: Phillipa (1847-1853), Constance Gardner (1848-1877), Cazenove Gardner (b. 1850), Francis du Pont (1852-1891), Edmund Jennings (b. 1853), and Annie Eliza (b. 1861).  All three sons attended Episcopal High School.  Francis become a priest in the Episcopal church; he married Anne Henderson. 

 

Both Cassius and Anne Eliza died at their home in Alexandria.  She died in 1885; he died in 1890.

 

Sophie Madeleine du Pont was the youngest daughter of Eleuthere Irenée and Sophie Dalmas du Pont.  Born in 1810, she was raised at Eleutherian Mills, just outside Wilmington, Delaware.  In 1833, she married her cousin, Samuel Francis du Pont (1812-1865), son of Victor Marie du Pont.  They established a household at Louviers, across the Brandywine River from Eleutherian Mills.  During the next 32 years Samuel was at sea much of the time.  He eventually reached the rank of Admiral in the United States Navy.  Sophie remained at home and died there in 1888. 

 

The bulk of this series contains letters written by Mrs. Cassius F. Lee, at her home, Menokin farm, near Alexandria, Va. to her friend Mrs. Samuel Francis du Pont, at Upper Louviers, on the Brandywine, near Wilmington, De. from 1846 to 1878.  Many of the letters were not dated.  A date was assigned by family members when the material was arranged.  Additional letters and documents about the Cazenove, Gardner, and Lee families are also included in this series. 

 

Much of the material was collected by Cassius F. Lee, Jr. and later by Cazenove Gardner Lee, Jr. in efforts to compile a family history.  Notations made by Askling and Dorothy Vandegrift Lee about the documents have been included in the finding aid.

Series 6:         Cazenove G. Lee - Marguerite Lammot du Pont (Lee) (71x267)

 

Cazenove Gardner Lee was born in 1850.  He attended the University of Virginia and became a lawyer.  In 1881, he married Marguerite du Pont, a cousin.  She was born in 1862, the daughter of Eleuthere Irenee du Pont and Charlotte Henderson, who was the granddaughter of Anthony-Charles Cazenove.  They settled in Washington, D.C.  They had two sons, Cazenove Gardner, Jr., and Maurice du Pont.  Both sons graduated from Cornell and worked for the Du Pont Co.  Cazenove, Jr. married Dorothy Vandegrift.

 

When Cazenove died in 1912, his wife sold her home and built a settlement house in the slums of old Georgetown.  After living in it for ten years, she retired to a suite in the Powhatan Hotel.  She and her son, Cazenove Gardner, Jr. (1882-1954), collected biographical information on members of the Cazenove, Henderson, Lee, and du Pont families.

 

The bulk of this series contains letters written by Cazenove Lee and Marguerite du Pont while they were courting in 1880 and 1881.  Many letters were written while Marguerite was in Europe on a grand tour.  Additional letters were written after the couple's marriage during their brief periods of separation. Other materials in this series include letters written by other members of both families to these correspondents or by them to other family members.

 

John Askling transcribed nearly all of the letters and compiled precis of those written during Marguerite's grand tour.  Collateral material related to families represented in the collection was saved.  Relationships among family members were explained in notes.  These typescripts have been incorporated into the collection.
