‎JOHN JAY VIETS‎

‎1863 ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND HANDWRITTEN RELIC OF EAST GRANBY CONNECTICUT BY NOTED LOCAL MERCHANT WITH STRONG CONNECTION TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL POLITICS‎

‎EAST GRANBY SIMSBURY LAMINGTON CONNECTICUT CT 1863. On offer is an original 1863 Civil War manuscript diary handwritten by we believe by John Jay Viets of East Granby Connecticut. Not identified by his ownhandthere are a number if clues most assuredly identify as such and local historians and researchers of Hartford County Connecticut should have little problem confirming. There are a number of clues such as the death of his Aunt Abi Fuller Case the widow of Mamry or Manny Case and an online biography provides: "John Jay Viets was born in Simsbury East Granby in 1806. He was in business for a number of years in his native town dealing extensively in general merchandise. Though a Republican in a strong Democratic town he was often called upon to take an active part in public affairs; and his ability was generally recognized. His death occurred December 10 1885. He was married in 1851 to Jane Wadsworth of Lamington Conn. daughter of Timothy Wadsworth. and a direct descendant of William Wadsworth who was one oi the first settlers of Hartford coming thither with the Rev. Mr. Hooker from the vicinity of Dorchester. Her mother's maiden name was Strong. Mrs. Jane Wadsworth Viets died at the age of sixty-one years sixteen days after her husband's demise. They reared three children: Jennie A. wife of O. L. Livesey now living in California near Los Angeles; : Hubert Wadsworth Viets proprietor and manager of a large steam laundry in La Crosse. Wis." He mentions Copper Hill Hartford Fox Hole Farmington North Britain Pleasant Valley and Spoonville but assuredly he lives in East Granby. He writes: "At a meeting of the Republicans of the town of E. Granby held at Pains Hotel January 19th. Jeremy H. Holcomb Chairman. J. J. Viets scribes the following persons were appointed delegates to the several conventions forth coming�." He lists numerous names of the men holding the different positions for their committee. Also in the back are several handwritten expense and account pages and all of them seem to be signed by J. J. Viets. The author also owned a store and these are the accounts for that store. He also mentions Jane his wife in the diary and the children. The diary is full with an entry for every day of the year. There is talk of the war lots of talk concerning his business as a merchant and also other events around the town of East Granby. Here are snippets: 1863 "January 1st Pleasant morning and plenty of snow. Ed Wells took both horses and went up after Rollins new painted sleigh at cars West Suffield. Was against going home says there is not time to go over and return to the donation at the parsonage! ____ did not go up this evening. We turned out and had a good time.
