Abstract:
The Wadsworth family papers are the legal and personal papers of the descendents of John and Sarah Webster Wadsworth of New Lebanon, NY. The inclusive dates of the collection are 1773-1920, with the bulk of the material from c.1830-1880.
Abstract:
These papers span six generations of the Wadsworth family from 1773 to 1920. The family lived in the New Lebanon, Canaan, East Chatham area of New York State. Legal papers such as deeds, bonds, and probate records, for the date 1773-1903 constitute a large part of the collection. The collection also includes an extensive correspondence file, principally from Constant W. Wadsworth (b.1834, d.1896) to his family after he had left home to learn the trade of watchmaker and jeweler. Of particular note are the series of school records of 1846-1849 and the school workbooks which are undated, and the series containing the military commissions of Ebenezer Wadsworth (1830's). The papers show the social history of a family through a period of about 150 years.
