BASSETT FRENCH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Description of Collection Samuel Bassett French (1820-1898), attorney, judge, Confederate officer, and editor, was a Norfolk native who lived in Chesterfield County and Richmond. (Accession 21332) Between 1890 and 1897 and in preparation for an intended biographical dictionary to be titled Annals of Prominent Virginians of the XIX Century, French compiled biographical information on almost 9,000 men, often obtaining information either from the subject or members of the immediate family. This collection consists of those handwritten notes. CONTRIBUTOR'S NOTE: The scanned images of the actual handwritten notes can be located here: http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/collections/BF.html.
