a| Correspondence for the Civil War period is written by several Confederate soldiers located in New Bern, Raleigh, Wilmington, Richmond, Petersburg, and Charleston in which comments touch upon camp life, battles, attitudes toward officers, and Union activities in eastern North Carolina. Letters (1883-1885) from relatives in the Southern states of Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama describe living conditions, crops, and weather conditions in those states. Of particular significance are materials related to public education in Pitt County, which include: Public School Registers, a School Committeemen's Book, two North Carolina Teacher Certificates, and general school information and statistics. Also of importance are letters (1886-1894) pertaining to the operation of Ellis Carriage Works in Kinston. Information concerns the financial condition of the business, indebtedness, prices of carriages, and competition with Hackney buggies, which were sold in the same town. Other materials include: deeds, land grants, land surveys, copy of marriage and birth records from the Ellis family Bible, financial records, newspapers, diploma, and a brochure for Ellis Carriage Works.

a| The Ellis family in Pitt County has been active in agricultural and educational pursuits since the early nineteenth century. In 1886, Oliver Ellis established the Ellis Carriage Works in Kinston for the construction of buggies, surreys, and hackabouts. This business operated until automobiles replaced the buggy as the major means of transportation.
