Collection Overview

Biography / History
Roger D. Williams descended from Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island. His great-great-grandfather, George Williams, moved from Rhode Island to Virginia and fought in the Revolutionary War. George Williams' son, General Roger Williams was born in 1770. In 1794 he married Mary Kerfoot and they came to Kentucky in 1773 to establish a home in Bourbon County where Roger Williams' grandfather. Major George W. Williams was born in 1801. Major Williams was a graduate of Transylvania University, served more than twenty years in the state legislature, was a delegate to the Kentucky Constitutional Convention in 1849, was a Whig and member of the American Republican (Know Nothing) party, and was a strong abolitionist. Major Williams was made the first permanent president of the Republican State Party in 1864. Major Williams was also a candidate in 1868 for the Supreme Court. Major Williams died in Paris, Kentucky in 1870.
Roger D. Williams' father, Benjamin Franklin Williams, was born in Bourbon County in 1827 and was an honor graduate of Bethany College in Virginia. He was admitted to the bar, but never practiced law. Instead he preferred to devote his time to manufacturing and mercantile. Benjamin Williams was married to Mary Gates Massie of Bourbon County; and Roger D. Williams was born on August 29, 1856. Roger D. Williams spent much of his childhood in Chicago because his parents moved there during the Civil War. On his return to Kentucky, he entered the University of Kentucky and was the youngest student to have attended at the time, 1872-1873. Williams served two years in the Pension and Internal Revenue Departments of the Federal Government. He was one of fourteen on a pioneer party to explore the Black Hills of the Dakotas. While in the Black Hills, he occupied stockades near present day Custer City. He was active in mining and prospecting and was well known in all of the leading camps. When the Battle of Little Big Horn occurred, Williams was a war correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle and The Denver Tribune.
Williams returned to Kentucky in 1879 and became involved in manufacturing. He established the Kentucky Copper Works and Iron Foundry in 1880 which was eventually known as the Lexington Engine and Saw Mill Works. Williams was active in civic and sports affairs. He was once commissioner of the Eastern Asylum for the Insane and was a park commissioner of Lexington. For thirty years Williams was an officer in the Kentucky National Guard where he was advanced from lieutenant to brigadier general. Williams was commanding colonel of the Second Regiment for fifteen years and for twenty-five years was one of the officers who commanded troops during mountain feuds and calming night riders. Theodore Roosevelt had requested his service during the Spanish American War, but the war was over by the time Williams organized a troop for the Rough Riders. In 1916, he commanded a sector on the Rio Grande from Fort Hancock, Texas, to Las Cruces, New Mexico. He served with General Pershing at Colonia-Dublan, Mexico. Williams was commissioned a brigadier general of the National Army and commanded the Indiana and the Kentucky troops in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He was overseas from July, 1918 until March, 1919, and was with the headquarters of the first army of France. Williams retired from the National Army in 1919, but he was active in a veteran group retirement.
Roger D. Williams was an avid hunter and was the owner of Rookwood Kennels in Lexington. Dogs from Rookwood were shipped all over the country. As a sportsman Williams was a member of Iroquois Hunt Club, Southern Fox Hunter's Association, National Fox Hunter's Association, and the American Fox Hound Association. He served as an officer in all of the hunting and hound associations. Williams was the author of Deer Hunter in the West Indies, Old Times in the Black Hills, The Greyhound, Wolf Coursing, The Bloodhound, Horse and Hound, High Ground in Fox Hunting, Training the Fox Hound, Running Hounds, and The Fox Hound. Along with these books Williams compiled a two volume work, The National Foxhunter's Association Stud Book 1898, which was published by the National Fox Hunter's Association. In his book, The Wilderness Hunter, Theodore Roosevelt said, "General Roger D. Williams, more than any other American is entitled to speak upon hunting big game with horse and hound."
Roger D. Williams and Minnie Lyle Sayre, daughter of banker Ephraim Sayre and Mary E. Woodruff Sayre of Lexington, were married in November 1887. Roger D. Williams and Mary Sayre Williams had two children, Roger Jr., born in 1895 and Mary Sayre, born in 1892. Roger Jr. served with father in World War I and went on to have a military career. Roger Williams Jr. married the Countess Florence Marie Odenreld Ludric Forest Divonne, France, in 1919 and they had one daughter, Dorothy. Mary Williams married Lucas B. Combs, a son of Leslie Combs, in 1916 and they had one son, Sidney Sayre, who was born in 1917.

Scope and Content
The General Roger Williams papers (dated 1823-1991, bulk 1898-1929; 62 cubic feet; 149 boxes, 1 folder) contain materials related to the businesses, investments, and military service of the prominent Kentuckian from 1898 until 1929. The bulk of the papers consist of correspondence between Rookwood Kennels and individuals trying to sell or purchase dogs. Williams' Kennel farmed out the breeding of hound dogs and had contacts with patrons throughout the United States and as far as Germany and China. The series includes materials from 1898 until 1929. Some of the correspondence is between patrons and Williams' daughter, Mary Sayre Combs, who took over the business after Roger Williams died. The collection also includes correspondence and receipts from the iron foundry founded by Williams in the Lexington Engine and Boiler Works series. The foundry bought and sold materials to other businesses in the Ohio River Valley region which the correspondence and receipts reflect.

Also in the series are several maps prepared by the military war school.

Personal, 1899-1928, undated

Scope and Contents

The Personal series contains correspondence, receipts, and money orders for business and financial ventures involving General Williams independently of Rookwood Kennels and the Lexington Engine and Boiler Works iron foundry. The series includes materials related to stock shares, tobacco sales, real estate investments, executions of wills, and the sale of pets (monkeys and kittens). It also includes documents relating to Williams' involvement in Lexington businessmen's clubs. There is a large blueprint of a water tank, presumably for his real estate investments.

Photographs, 1899-circa 1917

Scope and Contents

The Photographs series contains photographs found loosely throughout the collection as well as photographs from two albums. Most of the photographs are related to kennels and hunting, military service, and presumably personal relationships of General Roger Williams. Photographs found loosely and in the albums related to Kennels and hunting includes images of men about to begin hunting, particularly in the west, and images of horses and dogs. Most commonly pictured dog breeds are bloodhounds, and Russian and Irish Wolfhounds. A number of photographs were sent to Rookwood Kennel by individuals hoping to sell dogs to them for resale; those photos remain with the original correspondence in the Rookwood Kennel series.

Photographs related to the Military Service appear to be primarily from three events: the assassination of Senator Goebel of Kentucky (Kentucky National Guard, Second Regiment); military life along the Rio Grande, including a few from Mexico (1916-1917); and life in Camp Beckham, Kentucky, with the possibility of some from Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Mississippi (Seventy-sixth Brigade; 19171918). Some photographs could be from Gen. Williams' time with the Red Cross in France. Additional images include the building which later became the Lexington Engine Boiler Works and one full length portrait of William Woodard, Jr. of Kentucky.

Scope and Contents

The Loose Photographs subseries includes photographs found throughout the collection and were placed in envelopes for preservation reasons. Most of the photographs are images of potential candidates for dog breeding. There are also photographs of servicemen and military camps. Also in the subseries are portraits of General Roger D. Williams' and William F. Woodard, another serviceman. Finally there is a portrait of a child which printed onto cloth. Presumably the child is part of Williams' family.

Rookwood Kennel papers, 1898-1929, undated

Scope and Contents

The Rookwood Kennel paper series is predominately composed of letters related to the sale of dogs, primarily hunting hounds, to and from the kennel. Many of the letters offer dogs for sale to the kennel and include photographs of the dogs in question. Many of the letters also address Williams' books; information on registering or shipping dogs, including through customs; and the training and medical care of dogs. Of particular interest are letters dealing with a newly recognized disease, apparently epidemic in dogs in the southeast, called "fit" or "fright" disease. Most of the dogs sold by Rookwood were "farmed out," rather than housed in the kennels proper, so some of the correspondence deals with contacting area residents who are interested in raising puppies for the Kennel "on shares."

The documents also include a large amount of correspondence with newspapers and magazines, which carried advertisements for the Kennel. There is also much correspondence with various drug manufacturers, as the Kennel had frequent problems with, or requests for information about and remedies for, diseases including distemper, mange, black tongue, various types of worms, and others. Additionally, many of the clients of the Kennels write for information, and to express their concern for the dogs' health.

The series also includes many of the Kennel's formal publication, including copies of the Kennel's "highly-illustrated catalogue," which was published biennially, complete with inserts and "bargain" lists; order forms, forms for describing dogs offered for sale to the kennel; pedigrees; and receipts from Rookwood Kennel. Also included are letters and receipts from suppliers to the kennel, for products ranging from crates (for shipping), straw (for bedding), and various food products (macaroni, shredded wheat, cracklings, etc.) There are also some shipping tags from dogs sent or returned to the kennel. There are newspaper clippings and correspondence about dog shows, hunts and competitions (derbies or field trials) in which General Williams or dogs have participated, as judge or contestant, respectively.

Also represented in Rookwood kennel correspondence series are documents addressed to Mr. Bonnie (or Barney) Stone, who served as kennel manager and acted for Williams during his absences from the kennel for military service. As well as, letters sent to Williams' daughter, who managed the kennel and its sale to Capt. Milliken after the death of General Williams. She continued breeding Irish Wolfhounds and Norwegian Bear Dogs on her own before the sale.

Breeds represented in this collection, including unmet requests, include: Beagles, Belgian Police Dogs (Belgian Sheppard Dog, Malinois), Bloodhound (English), Boston Terriers, Bulldog (American), Bulldog (English), Chow Chows, Collies, Dachshund, fox terriers, foxhound (American-usually Walker Strain), French Deer Hounds (possibly Porcelain or other French breed), German Sheppard's, Great Danes, Greyhound, Husky (Alaskan), Irish Setter, Irish Stag Dogs, Irish Wolfhound, Newfoundland, Norwegian Bear Dogs/Norwegian Elkhounds (sometimes referred to as "Umea dogs," after a particular individual dog, Umea, at Rookwood Kennel), Old English Sheep Dogs, Pit Bull (English Pointer, Poodle (Toy), Pug (English), Redbone Coonhounds, Russian Wolfhound, Schipperke (sic. In letter of request), St. Bernard, Terrier (Bedlington), Scotch Deerhounds/Stag Hounds, St. Bernard, Terrier (Bedlington), Terrier (Rat), Water Spaniels, and various cross-breeds, most often foxhound/bloodhound. The majority of dogs requested and sold are bloodhounds, and foxhounds.

The Rookwood Kennel papers have been arranged into subseries based on the format of the materials. The correspondence in the collection is arranged chronologically according to month and year. Found throughout the correspondence were order blanks, applications to breed for the kennel, receipts, and dogs on hand at the kennel lists, notes on shipping and other tasks performed by the kennel, and other materials related to the kennel but not the same material type as the other subseries like newspaper clippings and charcoal drawings of dogs. The original provenance of the materials is unknown; therefore, the papers were grouped according to format type and divided into subseries.

The series also contains some of the kennel's ledgers (1902-1903, 1904, 1907, 1909-1911, 1915-1919, 1926 and some undated leaves from an unknown ledger). There are numerous lists of dogs, their breeding, and potential clients with in the ledgers.
