Abstract
Description
Dr. Joseph Lyon Miller was a medical doctor from Thomas, West Virginia, who collected and wrote on his family's genealogy, particularly that of the Fielding and Davis families. He also collected extensive materials relating to his wife's family the Hamptons. He gave these records to his nephew John Hampton.
A rancher, John Howard Hampton was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on January 17, 1898. He began ranching near Clarksville, Texas, later working on 6666 Ranch and directing ranch operations near Slaton, Texas and Tucumcari, New Mexico. From 1956-1958, he served as president of West Texas Museum Association. Hampton donated extensive Indian and western collections to area museums before his death in Tucumcari in 1967. He donated the Joseph Miller collection to the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech.
A large part of the collection deals with letters and correspondence relating to Hampton's ancestors, some of which extend back to 1675. It also contains land deeds, inventories, newspaper articles, photographs, and family letters collected by Hampton's uncle, Dr. Joseph L. Miller of Thomas, West Virginia.
Additional materials are available in the collection but are not available digitally. Interested researchers should contact the Southwest Collection Reference department to arrange to view them.
All items used from the Howard Hampton Papers should be cited according to the format in the following example: "Ambrose Fielding Inventory, 1675," Howard Hampton Papers, 1659-1957 and undated, Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas
