Wisconsin Historical Society (Map)
Records kept by Samuel Francis Jordan (1805-1872) and his brother-in-law, William W. Davis, ironmasters, merchants, and millers, covering chiefly the period when they operated as partners, circa 1833-1853, at Jane Furnace and Gibraltar Forge in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The records include correspondence, accounts, promissory notes, indentures, and agreements to hire slaves for labor. A few items refer to Jordan's operation of the Buena Vista Furnace, purchased in 1848. Also included is correspondence after the partnership was dissolved, and an inventory of Gibraltar Forge was made. The records then became those of Davis, whose son, James C. Davis, was his partner for a time. English
