description: Patricia Ann Black next to the Heritage Marker #3 of the Georgetown Pathways to History Project, which was developed by the Georgetown Heritage Advisory Committee with assistance from the Sanford Museum and Sanford Historical Society. Georgetown was established by the city's founder, Henry Shelton Sanford, as a suburb for African-American residents in the 1870s. The neighborhood spans along Sanford Avenue, with its commercial district between First Street and Fifth Street and its historic district between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. Though originally much smaller, Georgetown spanned to its present boundaries from East Second Street to Celery Avenue and from Sanford Avenue to Mellonville Avenue. Georgetown thrived at its height from circa 1880 to 1940, particularly in agriculture and transportation. Black was the daughter of Pilgrim Black (1905-2002) and Lula Mae Haynes Black (1917-2007), who got married in 1937. Patricia was born August 31, 1956, and grew up at the end of East Tenth Street in Sanford, Florida. She attended Hopper Elementary through sixth grade, Lakeview Middle School for seventh grade, Sanford Junior High School for eighth grade, Crooms High School for ninth grade, and Seminole High School through twelfth grade. She also attended school in the North Rose-Wolcott district each year while in Upsstate New York. During fourth grade, integration began and parents were given the choice to have their children to attend other schools, but Patricia chose to continue attending an all-black school until she entered seventh grade in 1968 and began attending integrated schools. In June 1973, Patricia married her first husband, Clint Holt (1955-); however, the couple quickly separated due to domestic violence and divorced around 1977. Patricia gave birth to her first child, Charmion Le'Antwinetta Holt (1974- ). She also had three other children with William Bigham Jr. (1952- ), who she was married to for 33 years: William Arthur Bigham III (1982- ), Brandon …

Letter from Gray Dawes and Company to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 19, 1887)
subject: Investments--Florida
subject: Insurance--Florida
description: A letter from Gray Dawes and Company to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) on April 19, 1887. The letter acknowledged renewal of three promissory notes held by Sanford with the company. According to the letter, the company was operating under the instruction of Sir William MacKinnon (1823-1893). This correspondence demonstrates the ongoing business relationship between Sanford and London-based financial institutions. Sanford, confronted with numerous financial difficulties later in life, relied on generous loans from close business partners, such as MacKinnon. Gray Dawes and Company was founded in 1865 by business partners Archie Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903). Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, England, the company was focused, at least initially, on maritime insurance. By the mid-1870s, the company had also expanded its operations into shipping, overseeing a fleet of steamships that circulated within a trade network including London, Calcutta, Madras, and elsewhere. The company was closely linked to the Scottish shipping titan, Sir William MacKinnon. Gray was Mackinnon's nephew. Dawes, meanwhile, went on to become a close and trusted business partner to MacKinnon. As such, the firm became a useful means for MacKinnon to reward his friends and business associates. The company availed insurance accounts to these select individuals, accounts that could be used as a source of credit to be paid at a later date. The company became associated with Henry Shelton Sanford thanks to the mutual connection to MacKinnon. In 1880, MacKinnon lent Sanford, who was faced at the time with financial difficulties, some £8,000 to facilitate the founding of a Florida land investment company. The money offered by MacKinnon was in fact loaned to Sanford by Gray Dawes and Company. Additionally, at the behest of MacKinnon, both Gray and Dawes became reluctant subscribers to Sanford’s land investment scheme, the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC).

Letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes to Henry Shelton Sanford (December 31, 1884)

description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), dated December 31, 1884. Dawes was one of the founding partners of Gray Dawes and Company. The lengthy letter discussed a number of business matters related to the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). In particular, Dawes rejected a loan proposal put forth by the Manayunk Bank, a Philadelphia-based financial institution with some ties to Sanford. Early in the letter, Dawes noted that "the board recognize[sic] [Sanford] as having control over affairs" and that he was sorry that the company's letter dated November 16th "failed to convey this to [Sanford's] mind," perhaps reflecting a fraught struggle for control and influence over the direction of the company. Later in the letter, Dawes confessed that "all your colleagues, myself included, have felt a good deal of timidity in following you in all that you have recommended and chiefly on financial grounds." The letter demonstrates the often tense relationship between Sanford and his London-based partners in the FLCC. Sanford's financial strategies were often deemed too risky by his business partners. Dawes was one of the founding partners of Gray Dawes and Company, a London-based company founded in 1865 by business partners Archie Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes.

Letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes to Henry Shelton Sanford (December 5, 1884)
subject: Investments--Florida
subject: Insurance--Florida
description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), dated December 5, 1884. The letter included a discussion of the "Abrams suit," referring to a lawsuit involving Sanford, as well as the Powell Grant proposal and the company's effort to purchase more land. Dawes also discussed the insufficiency of company's funds and capital as it related to various business efforts. Dawes was one of the founding partners of Gray Dawes and Company, a London-based company founded in 1865 by business partners Archie Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903). Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, England, the company was focused, at least initially, on maritime insurance. By the mid-1870s, the company had also expanded its operations into shipping, overseeing a fleet of steamships that circulated within a trade network including London, Calcutta, Madras, and elsewhere. The company was closely linked to the Scottish shipping titan, Sir William MacKinnon (1823-1893). Gray was Mackinnon's nephew. Dawes, meanwhile, went on to become a close and trusted business partner to MacKinnon. As such, the firm became a useful means for MacKinnon to reward his friends and business associates. The company availed insurance accounts to these select individuals, accounts that could be used as a source of credit to be paid at a later date. The company became associated with Henry Shelton Sanford thanks to the mutual connection to MacKinnon. In 1880, MacKinnon lent Sanford, who was faced at the time with financial difficulties, some £8,000 to facilitate the founding of a Florida land investment company. The money offered by MacKinnon was in fact loaned to Sanford by Gray Dawes and Company. Additionally, at the behest of MacKinnon, both Gray and Dawes became reluctant subscribers to Sanford’s land investment scheme, the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC).

Dawes indicates that, according to Thompson, the company expected some $200,000 in sales for the following year.

description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Jules Levita, dated April 15, 1884. Levita was a business associate and lawyer based in Paris, France, at the time. The letter discussed plans to schedule a meeting between Dawes and Levita. Dawes covered matters related to the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC), including a lengthy discussion of Henry Shelton Sanford's (1823-1891) proposals and business strategies, many of which were rejected by the London-based board members. The letter offers evidence of how Sanford was often at odds with the board of directors regarding business strategy. It also reveals the negative perception of Sanford held by Dawes and others. Though the letter is ostensibly directed towards Levita, it is unclear how or why it came to be in Sanford's possession.

description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), dated March 14, 1884. The letter discussed the recent correspondence of Sanford and highlighted the growing rift between the London-based board members and Sanford within the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). This included complaint about a breach in an earlier agreement between Sanford and the company. The initial agreement was that, at the insistence of Sanford, the company would buy the Powell Grant, a vast tract of land in Florida. In exchange, Sanford would agree "not to go to Florida nor interfere there in the company's affairs." This agreement was evidently disregarded, as Dawes noted. The letter also indicated other discussions and company concerns directed toward some of Sanford's proposals and actions. The letter offered evidence of the often difficult and contentious relationship between Sanford and other influential members of the FLCC.

description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), dated January 24, 1882. In the letter, Dawes acknowledged Sanford's earlier requests for company information, indicating that he had "requested Mr. Waller to send [Sanford] all the particulars [Sanford] asked for." Dawes also informed Sanford that William MacKinnon (1823-1893) would be in London for the upcoming board meeting, adding that he would defer to MacKinnon's discretion regarding reading Sanford's earlier, and potentially inflammatory, letter before the board of directors. Dawes feared that the letter in question, in which Sanford offered a "severe criticism" of Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) agent G. A. Thompson, "would create an awkward breach." The letter followed with some subtle jabs at Sanford's role in the company and his inability to raise the financial capital to buy out the fellow investors, including Dawes, with whom he had strong disagreements. The letter reflects the often tense relationship established between Sanford and the London-based board members of the FLCC.

description: A letter from Edwyn Sandys Dawes (1838-1903) to Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891), dated December 8, 1881. In the letter, Dawes noted that he had received several letters from Sanford that were addressed to the board of the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC); he had decided to hold onto the letters and instead asked Sanford "to reconsider whether or not they should be put in." Dawes warned about the consequences of disseminating Sanford's letters, noting that, "if put forward they are certain to create an estrangement between yourself and the other members of the Board." The contents of Sanford's original letters contained complaints about the company's agents in Florida, Gerald Waller and G. A. Thompson. Later in the letter, Dawes pointed to disagreements in business strategy between the board and Sanford. Knowing of Sanford's limited financial capabilities, Dawes adds that, "we would be willing to part with all shares and retire" if Sanford were able to find new suitors who would be able to pay for their shares and replace them. The letter reflects the often tense relationship between Sanford and the British board members of the FLCC.

The letter notified Sanford of the £8,000 loan provided by Sir William MacKinnon (1823-1893),which was later "made over" to Gray Dawes and Company. The £8,000 was made out to Sanford, using his Florida properties as securities for the loan. The letter indicated that the company authorized Sanford "from time to time, to sell and dispose of the same lands, or any part thereof, for such sums and in such manner as [Sanford] may think fit" with the ultimate goal of Sanford being able to repay the loan in full. The initial purpose of the loan was to help Sanford acquire the necessary initial financial resources to move forward with his Florida land investment scheme what became the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC).

Anchor Line Direct Steam Communication Between Granton, Norway, and Sweden
subject: Steamboats--Florida
description: Advertisement for the Anchor Line of the Henderson Brothers steamship company. The Anchor Line first appeared in advertisements in 1852 for N and R Handyside and Company. Overseen by Captain Thomas Henderson, who first proposed a line between Scotland and America, the Anchor Line began steamship service from Glasgow, Scotland, to New York City, New York, in 1856. At the same time, Henderson formed a partnership with the Handyside brothers, thus creating Handyside and Henderson. Though the company started slowly, by 1866 it had expanded and was offering regular sailings to the Mediterranean, Calcutta, Bombay, and Scandinavia, as well as its transatlantic line to the United States. At its height, the Anchor Line became a major carrier of European emigrants traveling to the United States. This particular advertisement advertises a line between Scotland, or Scotia, and several Scandinavian cities, including Gothenburg, Sweden, and Christianssand, Norway. It is unclear what connection the Anchor Line had to Henry Shelton Sanford, though it is possible that the Anchor Line was the shipping company used to transport a group of Swedish immigrants hired by Sanford to provide manual labor on his Florida properties, particularly his two citrus groves, St. Gertrude's and Belair. This possibility is made more plausible by the fact that, as the advertisement indicated, the company had an office located in Gothenburg, a major port city linked to sea-based shipping and travel. In May of 1871, Sanford brought 33 migrants from Sweden to work in Sanford. The Swedish workers, 26 men and 7 women, cost Sanford $75 each. According to the work contracts, Sanford was to provide housing and rations for each worker as well as a parcel of land for those satisfactorily completing their one-year contracts, Sanford hired an additional 20 Swedes later that year, in November of 1871.

New Store in Sanford!

description: An advertisement from November 1871 for the opening of the general store in Sanford, Florida. The Sanford General Store was founded by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) in March 1871. The store was created with hopes of bolstering the success of the Sanford Sawmill, opened the prior year. The creation of the store was the result of advising offered to Sanford by Edwin G. Eastman. Eastman suggested that a general store would be the surest way to improve profitability of the ailing sawmill, as mill employees would be paid with goods from the store. The general store's initial years of operation were plagued by problems. The store suffered from periodic shortages of crucial supplies. Local farmers, faced with poor agricultural production, had a difficult time turning their produce into the cash needed to purchase goods. The only way Sanford proved able to ensure consistent sales was through the extension of credit to local settlers. This approach proved untenable, however, as impoverished customers proved unable to pay their debts to the store. In January of 1873, the store was owed $4,000 by delinquent customers, a number that ballooned to $25,000 by 1879. As Sanford's personal financial state suffered, maintaining the stock of groceries became increasingly difficult. By March of 1879, Sanford was unable to continue the operation of the general store and decided to dispose of the remaining supplies and lease the building, alongside the wharf and its attached warehouse, for three years terms at $550 per year.

The original Sanford Wharf, built by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) and Joseph Wofford Tucker (1821-1897), was completed in September 1870. The wharf, made of yellow cypress, was 540 feet in length and cost $2,970. At the end of the wharf was a 30-by-20-foot storehouse. The wharf was built by Sanford to encourage development in the area. However, the wharf itself produced few profits and did little to return Sanford's initial investment. The original structure was destroyed when Lake Monroe flooded in 1871. Much of the wood from the original structure was salvaged by Henry L. DeForest (1857-1902) and a group of Swedish laborers and a new, larger wharf was built in 1872.
