Some time ago someone was curious about the Bellevue Hospital. In some 
unrelated searches, I found that in the Shirley Plantation Collection (now held 
at the Rockefeller Library at Colonial Williamsburg) that some receipts of Hill 
Carter related to the treatment of a slave during the 1850s can be found 
there. The finding aid to the Shirley Plantation Collection is easily accessible 
The following is from the (Petersburg, Virginia) Daily Express December 29, 
1858 p. 2, c.3.

“BELLEVUE HOSPITAL!

THIS INSTITUTION WHICH HAS been in successful operation for the last six 
years, is situated on Church Hill,

RICHMOND, VA.

[snip]

Terms:
(Payable on the removal of patient)
White patients, per week…………$6
Colored “	“………………….5
Private rooms “………………… $7 to 15

[snip]
No small pox admitted. No patient received less than a week.”

The ad listed the following doctors as being those who treated patients there: 
James Bolton, Thomas Pollard, O.A. Crenshaw, Wm. W. Parker, Thos. M. Nixon.

1860 Census searches reveal the following:

James Bolton was born in Georgia and was 48 at time of census. He was worth 
$16,000 in real estate and $4000 in personal estate. Bolton was married with 
seven children. He lived in the 2nd ward of Richmond. By the 1870 census he 
has disappeared from Richmond.

Thomas Pollard lived in the 2nd ward of Richmond worth $8000 in real and 
$7000 in personal estate. He was born in Virginia as was the 25 year old 
female living in his home, possibly an unmarried daughter considering he was 
47. It could be his wife, but there were no younger children living in the 
house. He too has disappeared from Richmond by 1870 census.

O.A. Crenshaw and Thomas M. Nixon do not show up in the 1860 census for 
the city.

William W. Parker was 36 in 1860 and worth $10,000 in real estate and $2000 
in personal estate. He also lived in 2nd ward of Richmond.
