Commonplace Book of Thomas Turner Fauntleroy

 Item — Container: MSS 92-2

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This commonplace book of precedents is arranged by subjects and contains citations from English and American sources. Written in more than one hand, apparently over a number of years. The end paper contains a list of law books owned by Fauntleroy on Jaunary 1, 1828.

It is likely that Fauntleroy passed this book on to his son, Thomas Turner Fauntleroy, Jr., of Winchester, Virginia, who graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1844, and was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1857. Pasted in the book are two clippings about Fauntleroy, Jr.
