Abstract:
Construction of Peace Institute was begun in 1860 but due to the Civil War was not opened until 1872. The main building was originally used as a Confederate Hospital and later to house the Freedman's Bureau. In this article, the author concentrates on a lawsuit brought out in 1842, seeking to resolve William Peace's rightful portion of his brother's estate. The documents generated offer a rich source of genealogical information. William Peace and his brother Joseph were partners in a successful mercantile firm in Raleigh. William donated $10,000 and eight acres of land in 1857 for the creation of Peace Institute.

Abstract:
The problem of British merchants collecting several million pounds of debt after the end of the war was a protracted one. Finally on January 8, 1802, an agreement was reached by the two countries on the payment of claims. The author notes this as the first in a planned series of articles on the subject. This first article deals with the Report of Special Agent William Duffy.
