| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Morris E. Meyer Papers
| | | | Creator: | Meyer, Morris e. | | | | Dates: | 1842-1939 | | | | Abstract: | Morris E. Meyer was a German Jew born in Hanover, Germany, in 1812. He emigrated to the United States, settled in Charleston, South Carolina, and became a citizen in 1844. He married Sarah Gertrude Oppenheim, a fourth generation member of a South Carolina Jewish-American family. About 1863 they moved to Camden, South Carolina, where he established himself as a merchant in the cotton trade, and was himself a slaveholder. During General William T. Sherman's sweep through Camden in 1865, Meyer lost his entire store of cotton and many household goods. After the Civil War, Meyer moved to New York City, where he engaged in the cotton trade and other ventures. Sometime after 1877, he and his family took up residence in Hanover, Germany, where he died in 1886. The collection consists of business and family records and correspondence, including cotton claims, records of cotton purchases, inventories, a presidential pardon for Meyer following the Civil War, and family passports. Of particular interest are slave transactions, 1850-1865, including bills of sale and mortgage bonds related to slave transactions by Morris Meyer 1850-1861, and a list of Meyer's household slaves in 1865. | | | | Call #: | MS 4728 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Meyer, Morris E., 1812-1886. | Myers family. | Jews -- South Carolina. | Jews -- New York. | Slaveholders -- South Carolina. | Slavery -- South Carolina. | Jewish businesspeople -- South Carolina. | Jewish businesspeople -- New York. | Jews, German -- South Carolina. | Jews, German -- New York. | Cotton trade -- South Carolina. | United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Jews. | United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Economic aspects
