HELEN WOOD & FAMILY
1876 ARCHIVE OF FIFTEEN 15 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT LETTERS BETWEEN WOOD FAMILY MEMBERS IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK HANOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ST. JOHNSBURY VERMONT
ST. JOHNSBURY VERMONT VT. Good. 1876. On offer is an archive of handwritten manuscript letters that belonged to Helen Wood of St. Johnsbury Vermont. The letters which date circa 1876 - 1888 interestingly are both to and from Helen. In all there are 15 letters and 7 of those still have their envelopes. Then there are 9 empty covers. These letters will be of particular interest to historians of the era as the correspondents were detailed in their writings. One letter written to Helen by a friend living in Brooklyn New York dated 1887 relates over 4 pages a fascinating account of the way Brooklyn is changing especially 5th avenue. Here are some snippets: "N.H. College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts Letterhead Hanover N.H. March 7th 1886 Dear Sister I received a letter from you last Tuesday. I do not feel much older than I did last year. We had some rough weather here a little less than a week ago and since Harvey was away I was very busy keeping Culver Hall and myself warm. It was so cold here in my room that both radiators were frozen up a large part of the time. It was pretty cold boarding myself those days or in fact doing anything. It is quite comfortable now however and my ink etc. is thawed out
.Sincerely Yours George P. Wood." "St. Johsbury Vt. March 20th 1886 Dear Folks It is almost eight o'clock and I am just up. My sleep was disturbed in the night and I woke up about four and heard a queer kind of noise under my window. It sounded some like some one crying fire then like two or three men fighting and then I happened to remember that the freshman class from Hanover had their class supper at one at one of the Hotels last night. It must have been lots of fun to run round this building in a snowstorm at that time of day. After they got round they sang two or three songs gave two or three war whoops and tore themselves away. Judging from their songs they hated to leave us
Love to all Mary K.Wood." "New York May 11th 1887 Dear Helen Many thanks for your good letter and the beautiful collection of early flowers from the Old Lebanon Hills. They reached here safely though somewhat wilted from the close confinement and the loss of their pure mountain air. They embellished the mantle piece of the dining room for several days. While we all took several refreshing whiffs as we passed by
If you were to take a ride down 5th avenue you would not know the place. On the East Side there is but 1 block but what is either filled up or has been commenced upon. Even the old Polhemus Mansion cor. 5th Ave. and Carrol St. on that high bluff has been torn down and the Hill graded down and now covered with brick buildings mostly flats 4 stories high with stores underneath. Flat old Mansions on 1st & _______streets with all those beautiful shade trees in front have fallen victim to the march of improvement. The old house has been moved down to 3rd Ave. and converted into a Tenement House. "How art thou Fallen" The entire block is either covered with dwellings mostly 2 story and basements or cellars
.South of 7th St. every vacant lot is being filled up. Across the street from us they are putting up 6.3. stores and basement houses. Above 6th Ave. below the Episcopal Church there are 5 more going up. So it is all about us 5th 6th 7th & 8th Aves
.Saw the account of your disastrous fire in the evening papers with more particulars this morning. What a severe blow to the village and to so many people that have lost their homes with the savings of years. It will be long years before the place will recover from it's loss if ever

Herrera Family of Madrid
MANUSCRIPT. Certification of the Nobility of Don Manuel Silbestre Joseph de Herrera y Tassis
Madrid 1728. Good. Manuscript on paper. Folio. 38 ff. tears and wear along fore-edges smaller tears along top and bottom of leaves persistant waterstains fol. 1 damaged with loss. Top portion of final leaf excised but the text is continuous see below. Recent sympathetic wrappers. With faults and priced correctly. EXCELLENT SPANISH GOLDEN-AGE MANUSCRIPT WHICH DOCUMENTS AN ATTEMPT TO "CERTIFY" THE NOBILITY OF A NOBLEMAN IN PROVINCIAL SPAIN WHOSE FAMILY WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOUNDER OF SAN ANTONIO TEXAS.<br /> <br /> The purpose of the document is to demonstrate the nobility of Don Manuel Silbestre Joseph de Herrera y Tassis. There had been a reorganizing of the government of the town Bañares in the province of Burgos now Logroño and Herrera believed that he should be the "acalde" similar to the post of "mayor" though with greater authority than the modern mayor. However to claim the position it was necessary for some unstated reason for Herrera to prove that he was of noble birth.<br /> <br /> TEXT: The first leaves are copied from a "Book of Baptisms" the original is described as a large folio made of parchment from the Parish of San Andres in Madrid from June 5 1684 to May 23 1691 beginning at page 165. These leaves show that Manuel Herrera was born on the 31st of December 1686 making him 26 years old at the time of the events in question along with the names of his parents padrino etc. <br /> <br /> The next leaves are copied from a book titled "Twenty Three Baptisms" from the Parish of San Fines and San Luis in Madrid begun in September 12 1629 ended January 18 1630 page 109 and document the birth and baptism of Henrrique Herrera Manuel's father. Next is evidence of the fact that Manuel's older half brother Don Gregorio de Herrera y Varacaldo was granted entrance into the Orden de Santiago The Order of Saint James a military/religious order. This is a copy of a document by Don Gregorio de Tapia the king's secretary and a member of the royal cabinet.<br /> <br /> The next section lays out Manuel de Herrera's genealogy showing the claim to nobility through certain aspects of his family's history. His Grandfather Captain Don Matheo Andres de Herrera was granted membership in the Orden de Santiago by King Philip III. It is also shown that a number of Manuel's ancestors were born in Flanders obviously related to the Spanish occupation during the Eighty Years' War.<br /> <br /> Following are certifications showing that Manuel's grandfather and other ancestors had held the position of Acalde de Mesta. This means that they were in charge of the Spanish livestock sheep herders' association. Although that does not sound particularly impressive it was a position of immense power and prestige monetarily and politically and was only held at this time by members of the higher nobility. The family held this position under the authority of the Duke of Béjar the first mention in this document would have been under the 9th Duke. <br /> <br /> THE DUKES OF BÉJAR AND THE CONNECTION WITH SAN ANTONIO BEXAR COUNTY TEXAS: As we learn herein for several generations the Herrera family served under the Dukes of Béjar. Indeed Don Henrique de Herrera the father of Manuel Herrera for whom the present manuscript was written was the Governor of Sanabiza under the Duke of Béjar and a member of the Royal Council although the author claims that these records were "unavailable" as the city of Sanabiza had been taken over by the "enemy" Portuguese. The bespoke Manuel Herrera served as "Gentleman of the Chamber" under Juan Manuel López de Zúñiga y Castro later the 11th Duke of Béjar and the 10th Count of Bañares. Manuel López's uncle Baltazar de Zúñiga y Guzmánde 1658-1727 surely knew the family. He is of particular interest in the history of the Americas as he became Viceroy Governor and General Captain of New Spain President of the Royal Audience of Mexico High Majordomo of King Philip V and President of the Royal and Supreme Council of the Indies. In 1718 he established the Presidio San Antonio de Béjar; this was to become the city of San Antonio in Bexar County Texas. <br /> <br /> OTHER NOBLE FAMILY MEMBERS: Several pages describe the nobility of Manuel's older brother Gregorio who belonged to the Orden de Santiago; was a well-known noble of the Royal Court; and had been elected Acalde de Mesta over several other candidates including the Secretary of New Spain and the King's own son. Manuel's grandfather was also in the Orden de Santiago and was a member of the king's cabinet; and finally his father enjoyed noble privilege in the castle of Sanabiza. <br /> <br /> CONCLUSION: Manuel argues that he deserves to enjoy the same privileges in Bañares and he provices testimony from respected witnesses so that his "quality blood and nobility" can never again be challenged. The final section shows that the Bañares Deputation received the prepared documentation investigated its veracity confirmed the nobility of Don Manuel de Herrera y Tassis and granted him the position of Acalde de Bañares. <br /> <br /> The final leaf contains the hastily written attestation of the secretary Joseph Marttines de Vallabanes including a description of the document itself: "38 folios hand-rubricated and on the last leaf of the sello tercero paper . separated !" -- presumably referring to the missing section at the top of the last leaf. NB: the text is continuous; perhaps a decorative flourish was excised in order to validate the text of the document with another copy. <br /> <br /> SECRETARY: Written by Joseph Marttinez de Vallabanes regularly "MartÃnez"; this scribe has a habit of doubling the letters "t" and "r" a scribe in Valladolid and is "rubricado" meaning that each leaf on the recto lower interior margin has the scribe's "rúbrica"; an artistic signature that serves as a sort of notarized seal. The document was written at the order of Don Manuel Herrera y Tassis on the 10th of December 1727 as a copy of the original document written by the scribe Thomas de Silba and others in 1712.<br /> <br /> PAPER: Initial stamps at the head show the seal of King Phillip V of Spain and show that this paper is the "tercero" grade of "papel sellado" costing 68 maravidÃs approximately $7.30 today and stating the year: 1727. Papel sellado was first authorized in Spain by a decree from Felipe IV in 1636. This stamped paper primarily functioned to gather revenue for the royal treasury; documents without the official stamp were regarded as non-legal and the transactions they documented subsequently negated. Papel sellado was extended to Spain's colonies in the New World following another law in 1638 where it was mainly sold to individuals who executed legal documents such as lawyers scribes and merchants. The necessary stamps were available in four sellos the use of each dependent upon the transaction and descending in cost: Primero Segundo Tercero and Quarto with two additional categories under Sello Quarto "de oficio" for government use and "pobres" for indigents. The more prominent seals thus signaled documents of greater importance and value. Papel sellado was distributed in annual issues in Spain.<br /> <br /> WATERMARKS: <br /> 1.
