Among the delegates (and the complete list of delegates fill eight pages ! ) was one J. F. Maury, representing the Board of Directors of the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad.
I thought perhaps J.F. Maury might be a near relative of Matthew Fontaine Maury (b. Fredericksburg 1806, d. Lexington 1863,) distinguished naval Commander from a prominent Colonial Virginia family, and later diplomat for the Confederate States of America, for whom a river in Virginia is named.  But Ancestry.com shows no J.F. Maury in the tree of Matthew Fontaine Maury.
Does anyone know the details of J.F. Maury of the Virginia & Tennessee RR ?
