Series

Ledgers

There were a total of 21 bound business ledgers that were found in the donated trunk. The ledgers include a wide range of business items including: Farm equipment, cash journals, time books, cotton transactions, business expenses, pay roll and inventory. The dates of the entries range from 1908 to 1948, and many of the ledgers skip back-and-forth in time periods. The ledgers were in average condition with several of them, missing several pages, while some others were left blank.

Ledger Pages

There were more than 200 loose ledger pages found underneath the 21 bound ledgers in the trunk. The ledgers are a combination of pages that have been ripped out of ledger books, while others are oversized ledger pages. These pages are primarily dated between the years 1938-42.

Bill of Sales

This series consists of bill of sales, with primarily the majority of them being land deeds from the state of Louisiana, as well as oil and gas leases. The majority of records are from the years 1910-1925.

Letters Box

This series stems from the partially alphabetized filing box, which had an array of business correspondence and financial records. This series mainly consists of business receipts concerning Ashton Plantation, from the years 1910-20. The receipts primarily come from grocery stores, garage & repair shops, hardware stores, farm implements dealers and shipping orders. 

Trunk

The entire collection was donated inside a vintage trunk by Herkert & Meisel, based out of St. Louis, Missouri. A few of the leather straps for the trunk had been removed or had deteriorated. 

Biography/history: Harry S. Burrowes owned and operated Ashton Plantation in the early part of the 20^th century. The plantation was located on La. Highway 1 about five miles east of Alexandria. Burrowes came in possession of the property when he married Mary Eloise Polk Ferris in 1910. Eloise had spent the majority of her life on the site of Ashton Plantation, which was originally constructed in 1802 on land acquired from Charles Mulholland. Mary Eloise was born on Sept. 4^th, 1864 at a refugee camp on the Sabine River in Texas. With the Union army approaching as part of the Red River Campaign, her family buried the family silver and other valuables and abandoned the plantation. When the family returned, the plantation home had been burnt to the ground, but the family rebuilt on the existing site where Mary Eloise grew up. She married David S. Ferris, from a distinguished New York family, on January 20^th, 1885. The couple divorced four years later, with Mary Eloise received Ashton Plantation as part of the divorce settlement. The 770-acre estate was sold by the Hudson family, who renamed the property as Hudson Plantation, to George and Albert Eugene Yarbrough from Arkansas for $237,500 in December of 1965.
