He married Mary Watson 1810-1890 and they had eight children Thomas E. Harrison being one of them. Thomas was a justice of the peace for a number of years. </p><p> Thomas married Olive E. Alexander of Litchfield New York about 1865. She was the daughter of Joseph Alexander 1797-1861 and his wife Eliza Warner 1801-1860. Olive's father had a small farm of about 105 acres at Litchfield where he grew oats and corn and had some milk cows and pigs. Olive became a school teacher and taught at Winfield in 1856 and at Litchfield in 1858. At the time of her parent's death they were buried at the Jerusalem Hill Cemetery in Herkimer County New York. The Alexander's had a second daughter by the name of Esther Jane Alexander 1824-1883 Olive's sister who features in the early correspondence of this collection. </p><p> Dr. Herbert Alexander Harrison was born in 1871 at West Winfield Herkimer County New York. He was the son of Thomas E. Harrison 1836-1920 and Olive E. Alexander 1839-1893. Herbert had a sister Mary Eliza Harrison 1867-1929 and a brother by the name of Leonard E. Harrison 1876-1936; both were living at West Winfield when Herbert died in 1915. </p><p> Herbert's sister Mary Eliza Harrison titled "Lizzie" in the correspondence was educated first at the West Winfield Academy then at the State Normal School at Albany where she graduated in the class of 1888. She became a teacher and for awhile taught at Selden Long Island. She is found living with her parents and her brother Leonard in the 1892 NY State Census and listed with no occupation. Lizzie M. Harrison of North Winfield is shown contributing $25.00 in 1895 to the Daniel Hand Fund for the Education of Colored People. A later letter in the collection shows her to be contributing money to the Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. When the 1905 New York State Census was taken she is shown living with her father and brother Leonard her mother having died. She was not listed with an occupation but rather listed for her occupation as "house work." She is later found to be a charter member of the Society of Middletown Upper Houses. On 3 October 1910 a passenger manifest for the ship Celtic shows her arriving at the Port of New York from Liverpool England. Her father accompanied her to Europe. </p><p> Herbert's brother Leonard E. Harrison attended the West Winfield Union School and Academy. Leonard died of pneumonia contracted after he was hospitalized for a fall. He was a farmer and a graduate of Cornell University. He left a wife Edith Bonfoy Harrison 1885-1973 and a son Walter L. Harrison 1914-1994 a student at Cornell when his father died. There are several letters in this collection written to Lizzie by a woman named Edit. It may be her sister-in-law Edith Bonfoy Harrison. </p><p> Herbert A. Harrison grew up in West Winfield and attended the village school and was graduated from the West Winfield Academy. Deciding to study medicine he went to New York City and took a course in the New York Homeopathic College from which he graduated. A number of letters written to and from his sister Lizzie were written at the time that he studied at New York Homeopathic College. </p><p> After taking his degree in medicine at the N.Y.H.M.C. & H. in 1895 he served two years as an intern at the Washington Hospital and then began practice in Cooperstown N.Y. When he was living at Washington DC there is some further correspondence between him and his sister Lizzie. After several years at Cooperstown he took a special course in eye ear nose and throat diseases at the New York Ophthalmic Hospital which he completed in June of 1903 and remained at NYOH for six months as house surgeon before returning to Cooperstown where he practiced until July of 1905 when he removed to Utica New York and followed his profession residing at 8 Scott Street and having an office in the Evana Building. He was a member of the staff of the Utica Homeopathic Hospital. He attended Plymouth Church and was a member of the West Winfield Masonic Lodge. </p><p> He was a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy the American Ophthalmological Ontological and Laryngological Society the National Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis the New York Homeopathic Society the Central New York Medico - Chirurgical Society and the Utica Homeopathic Club. </p><p> In 1903 he married Miss Delia Ellison 1867-1956 of Utica the daughter of Henry Duane Ellison 1833-1910 and Elnora Josephine Arnold 1837-1888. Together the couple had two sons one Thomas Duane Harrison 1904-1984 and Leonard Harrison b. 1911. Delia wrote 54 letters in this collection to her husband's sister Lizzie who she appears to have become close friends with. There are a couple of letters written to Delia's sons Thomas and one written by Thomas in this collection. </p><p> On May 13 1915 while walking the track on his way to the station at East Creek New York. Dr. Herbert A. Harrison was struck by a train and instantly killed. He had the custom of taking the train to East Creek then walking about ten minutes on the train track to a farm that was owned by his wife nearby. This collection contains several letters of condolence written to Herbert's sister Lizzie. Letters upon the death of Thomas E. Harrison Herbert and Lizzie's father are also included in this collection. He died in 1920. </p>Overall the correspondence collection is interesting in that it shows the changing of one generation to the next. Thomas E. Harrison a farmer sends his children to university to become professionals a teacher and a doctor. The collection also shows the extended family migration west the women keeping in touch with folks back home wishing them to come and move west with them with promises of a better life. Most of the correspondents tend to be women and the conversations of the letters tend to be dominated on the domestic sphere of life that they controlled. <br />‎

We are all well and hope you are - Court sits tomorrow and I expect a very short term as usual for the reason that the lawyers are mad with Hartshorn and won't stay to hold a Court. </p><p>Yours in Haste Truly </p><p>Charles E. Benton </p><p>P.S. Your mother is the owner of the James B. Brown store on the other side of the River and wants $300.00 Insurance on it. It is used for a country store and Post Office. You know how it is situated and if you can get it insured at a reasonable rate I want it done otherwise let it go." </p><p>"Guildhall January 15 1883 </p><p>My dear son Everett </p><p>Your long letter and also other came duly and I should have answered the first one before only that I was up at the Brown Mill on Paul Stream four days last week for you uncle Jacob he has rented the mill to T. G. Beattie for 5 years and sold him the personal property and I was up there attending to the appraisal for him and for a wonder he has up to this time found no fault with what I did - Now to your case. My advice is now what it has been for you to stay your year out and perform your duties faithfully then if the business of Mr. Paige is not lucrative enough so that he can afford to pay you such wages as you can live on my advice my advice in that case would be to quit and if there is no other chance I can when you are of age give up the Clerk's Office to you and I will step out and try my luck. If Mr. Paige and Mr. Halt like you they will want to keep you if not then they will make you such terms as will be quite likely to be a notice to you that they can get along without your services. </p><p>Jacob Benton and Chase are expecting you to come to Lancaster and the last time I saw them I told them I thought it was a little doubtful. </p><p>Enclose I send you a check for $15.00 so that you may not be obliged to borrow of any body which is one of the meanest habits in my judgment a young man can get into and in the end will be likely to make a dishonest scamp of whoever practices it.With Love Charles E. Benton" </p><p>"Winter 1882 </p><p>Dear Everett </p><p>There is not a single bit of news but I will try and write you a short letter. I am well and am attending to my school like a good fellow. You would think that I was by the good lessons that I have. There is one more week of school and then a week's vacation. The examinations come a week from today and tomorrow Wednesday and Thursday. I am to be examined in Latin Arithmetic Physics and English History. I shall rank high in all. Those from the Graded School are to be examined Saturday. We have finished our Arithmetic. I don't think that I shall take anything its place next term unless it is Geometry. </p><p>There has been just one case tried at the Colebrook Court and that is not finished yet. It is Harlan Cross vs "Dr" Grant. I don't think that the "Dr" explained the "Philosophy of Dreams" to the jury. It is for seducing and alienating the affections of Mrs. Cross. "De faces de case am" as I understand. Mrs. Cross went to Lancaster to be doctored by Grant. While there he did as the above says and tried to get her to elope with him. She wouldn't but said that she would get a divorce and marry him. Before she could this case was started. All Lancaster have been up to testify. </p><p>There is a great nuisance in jail in the person of Charles Morrison. He is in for rape and he had ought to be sent to state prison right away without a trial. He calls to every person that passes. The most of his time is spent in chewing and smoking borrowed tobacco.J.B.B." </p><p>"23 May 1883 </p><p>Dear Everett </p><p>.School has finished. We had an exhibition the last day and it was quite a success. I sang the duet "What are the Wild Waves Saying" with Hattie Johnson and everyone said we did it splendidly. I played the accompaniment for tow other pieces. I also read a piece. Miss Johnson is engaged to teach the summer school I'm not going. I am taking music lessons at Lancaster of Prof. C. M. Kumlan. You remember that he is the one that played so long at Island Pond at the convention. He is an elegant player and is a very thorough teacher. Flora Johnson and I go to Lancaster and take a lesson twice a week.Prof. Kumlan has engaged the room that Fred William's barber shop was in for a music room and I take my lessons there.Small Boy" Jay B. Benton </p><p>"Guildhall Nov 25 1888 </p><p>My dear Everett </p><p>When I sent off the package to you I wrote only a little line in my haste - I wanted to tell you that I knit and colored the stockings myself and was afraid they might crock your feet at first - I washed and rewashed them over and over again hoping to get them clear but if they do crock a little do not cut your feet off but take heart that time and good washing will cure the trouble in both cases - feet and hose. </p><p>Your kind letter more than paid for all the work. You must not blame me if I am selfish and often wish I had you back in your own room at home - Caring for you and your clothes the few years that I had you makes me miss the work. I remember well how clean you always kept your bed - and often when I put your shirt in the wash the crease ironed into the back was there as if it had not been worn - I think you can tell how much a woman loves you by the care she takes of your clothes. </p><p>Another Thanksgiving is almost here again. Jay is coming just for a day or two. He has not been home since he went to Hanover directly after his return from Europe. I feel as if I had almost lost him. He stays so long away.Take good care of the babies. One thing I wanted to speak to you about when you was here but did not see to it that their heads are kept clean. I mean of the scuz on the scalp. It will be notice by your neighbors if you in you busy work days do not think of it. With much love Mother" </p>‎

There are other correspondents with Lucy who appear to be friends or associates. <br /><br /><p>Biography of the Hughes Family </p><p><br /> William "Willy" George Hughes rancher was born at Kensington London England on May 29 1859. He attended Marlborough College and immigrated to America; he arrived in New York on September 15 1878 reached San Antonio on the twenty-ninth and immediately entered apprentice training as a shepherd without pay. He soon bought 160 acres of land three miles west of Boerne in Kendall County where on March 22 1879 he began what later became a very successful ranching operation. One of his early achievements was to import the superior Oxfordshire Downs sheep and start developing high-quality breeding stock that brought premium prices. Also through diversification outstanding management skills and hard work he amassed some 7000 acres of ranchland of his own and leased several hundred additional acres of state school land. </p><p>Hughes quickly recognized the potential of Angora goats in his integrated ranching operation and was among the first ranchers to bring this breed to Kendall County. He purchased his seed stock from William M. Landrum of Laguna Uvalde County who moved to Texas from California in 1883. When President Grover Cleveland persuaded Congress to reduce import tariffs and Australian wool flooded the United States market in 1887 Hughes immediately switched from sheep to Angora goats and mohair production. Another innovative ranching practice he initiated was to buy cheap mustang mares and breed them to his registered Arabian stallion thus producing a durable high-quality riding horse that was popular with the United States Cavalry. During the Spanish-American War he trained and delivered hundreds of horses to cavalry units both in San Antonio and at the Mustang Island staging area near Corpus Christi. </p><p>Hughes married Lucy C. Stephenson on June 28 1888. Lucy was born August 18 1864 at Alston Nenthead Cumberland England. She died sometime after 1940. She was the daughter of John James Stephenson 1821-1895 and Ann Dover Clark 1827-1905. Her parents immigrated to Kendall County Texas about 1872 where her father had a farm. The family is found in Kendall in the 1880 Census. After her marriage in 1888 Lucy's mother came to live with her and her husband and they are found together in Kendall County in the 1900 Census. Lucy's sister Ella was also living with them. </p><p>The couple had three children Jane Elizabeth "Jeannie" Hughes 1889-1977 George Forbes Hughes 1892-1971 and Gerard "Jerry" Hastings Hughes 1895-1996. In addition to attending her children and keeping house Lucy encouraged by her husband began a productive dairy business with a herd of registered Jersey cows. The dairy sold up to 400 pounds of butter a month in San Antonio. </p><p>Hughes founded Hastings Texas and became its first postmaster on April 17 1890. The post office was named for his father William Hastings Hughes. Hughes helped organize the Hastings one-teacher school in the mid-1890s. He wrote numerous articles and scientific papers on raising and marketing Angora goats. He also collaborated with his famous uncle Thomas Hughes author of the classic <i>Tom Brown's School Days</i> and founder of Rugby Tennessee in writing letters about his early Texas ranching experiences that were later published in a book <i>GTT -Gone to Texas</i> 1884. Hughes died in a train accident at Bellville Illinois on November 25 1902 while on his way to show his prized Angoras at a northern livestock exhibition. </p><p>William "Willy" George Hughes was the son of William Hastings Hughes an established wine importer who invested in failed land deals with his brother Thomas Hughes which forced the young Willy to head out on his own to Texas. William George Hughes' uncle Thomas Hughes was a scholar known for his classic book "<i>Tom Brown's School Days</i>" 1880. Thomas visited America for the first time in 1870 to visit his friend James Russell Lowell. He later founded a Christian-Socialist oriented community at Rugby Tennessee and edited the book "<i>G.T.T. Gone to Texas</i>" published in London by Macmillan & Co. in 1884. The book includes letters written by Thomas' three nephews sons of his brother William: William George Hughes Gerard "Chico" Hughes and Henry "Harry" Hughes. The book is an excellent account of cattle and sheep ranching in Texas and it was intended by Thomas to be used to help prospective English immigrants to Texas. The book is considered one of the best accounts of Texas immigrants and ranch life. </p><p>William George Hughes' father William Hastings Hughes later in life immigrated to New York. William Hastings Hughes' grandfather was John Hughes an artist and author. His wife Margaret Elizabeth Wilkinson immigrated to Thomas Hughes community at Rugby Tennessee. John Hughes was the only child of the Rev. Thomas Hughes vicar of Uffington Church one of three canons at St. Paul's Cathedral London England. The Rev. Hughes wife was Mary Ann Watts friend of Sir Walter Scott. She wrote a biography of Scott. </p><p>After the death of her husband Lucy gave up Texas and moved to Massachusetts where she is found in the 1910 Census living at Milton Norfolk County Massachusetts. Lucy's sons George and Gerard attended Milton Academy. After Milton Academy George and Gerard attended Harvard together. The boys lived in the "yard" at 42 Matthews Hall when in the fall of 1916 a notice was posted which stated the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps the Army Air Corps of those days wanted a group of volunteers to enlist for the purpose of learning to fly and becoming Reserve Military Aviators RMAs. George and Jerry decided to apply together. They were among the vanguard of the early fliers. George had previously had some flying experience when he joined the flying club while attending Dartmouth 1911-1912. They applied and were asked to report to Governor's Island NYC for physical examinations in December of 1916. In late February 1917 they were told to travel to Mineola Field Garden City Long Island New York for one last series of tests they arrived in April of 1917 just at the time that America entered World War One. The lack of trained military pilot instructors meant that the Hughes brothers were taught by civilians. </p><p>The Hughes brothers were among the first of the new American pilots and as such instead of heading to the front and fighting in the war as they had hoped they were initially assigned as pilot instructors. After pilot training and even before his commission as lieutenant George F. Hughes was sent to Dayton Ohio in July of 1917 to be a flight instructor at the new Wilbur Wright Field. There were simply not enough military instructors so George was hurried into becoming an instructor. By October 1917 George was made squadron commander of the 12th Aero Squadron moving it from Dayton Ohio to New York on to Amanty France then to the front. He went from being a flight instructor to being in charge of 10 officers and 150 men and their equipment which formed the 12th Aero Squadron and to make sure everyone and everything arrived in France safely by December 1917. The 12th Aero Squadron was designated an "observation" squadron and were combat ready by May 1918. George flew with the 12th Aero until the middle of July than was put in command of a new outfit the 258th Aero Squadron which he helped to ready. Just as the 258th became combat ready the war ended. </p><p>George's brother Jerry after flight school was also assigned to a position as flight instructor. His station was at Chanute Field Rantoul Illinois. He arrived at the new air field in September of 1917. In December 1917 Jerry got orders to proceed to Rich Field at Waco Texas. He instructed at Waco until August of 1918 when he was sent to France. Foul weather slowed his training at Issoudun's American flying school. After Issoudun he spent time at the American gunnery school at St. Jean de Monts which he completed in a week. He was assigned to a combat unit but arrived in Toul France just as the war ended. </p><p>The brothers thought they would be with the 258th Aero Squadron as part of the occupying forces in Germany but George took sick emotional breakdown and the brothers came back to New York with most of the other soldiers being released from service in February of 1919. </p><p>In 1920 Lucy was found living with her daughter Jeanie in Newburgh Orange County New York. Lucy was listed as not working while Jeanie was a superintendent at a department store. After the war the Hughes brothers bought the Garden City Garage Garden City Long Island New York. Here they ran an airplane and auto mechanic business until 1946. Jerry was active in founding the Garden City Chamber of Commerce and served as its 3rd President. He also helped in a plan to create 6000 parking spaces in the Garden City area for customers of its businesses a project that drew national attention for its scope and planning. </p><p>Lucy in 1925 is found in the New York State Census to be living at Hempstead Nassau County New York with her daughter Jeanie who was now working in real estate and her son Gerard who had the garage. The two brothers had married: George to Frona Brooks in 1927 and Jerry to Charlotte Christ 1904-1995 in 1928. George and his wife had two children Octavia and Anita. Jerry and his wife had four children Anne Thomas Jean and Marian. In the 1930 Census Lucy and her daughter are living together at Garden City Long Island Nassau County New York. Jeanie is now listed as a "psychologist." The two women are living with Octavia the daughter of George who was divorced living with his daughter Octavia and his sister Jeannie and his mother. Gerard Hughes appears to have outlived everyone in the family dying in 1995 at 101 years old. His sister Jeannie died in 1977 with Lucy dying sometime after 1940. </p><p><b>Description of Archive:</b> </p><p><b>1900 - 1903. 3 letters 13 pages 2 envelopes</b> all three of these letter are to Mrs. Lucy Stephenson Hughes at Hastings Texas. One is written by S. F. Hughes Milton MA and two from W. Cameron Forbes Sheridan WY & Boston MA. W. Cameron Forbes is likely to be William Cameron Forbes partner in J. M. Forbes & Co. he writes to Lucy on the company letterhead. An investment banker he later became Governor-General of the Philippines 1908-1913 and Ambassador of the United States to Japan 1930-1932. He was the son of William Hathaway Forbes President of Bell Telephone Company and Edith Emerson daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. </p><p><b>1912 -1913. 43 letters 245 pages 37 envelopes</b> of these 43 letters most are written in 1913. Of the 43 letters 37 are written to Mrs. Lucy Stephenson Hughes including letters from her children George 12 Gerard 8 and Jennie 6. Other letters to Lucy are written by her Aunts 5 from England Robeston Wathen Narberth. Sarah F. Hughes writes to Lucy 3 times and 3 times to George Forbes Hughes from Orchard Knoll Milton MA. Other letters are written to Lucy from friends or others. There are also 2 letters written by George one each to his sister Jennie and brother Gerard and one letter written by Gerard to his brother George and one letter written by Gerard to his brother George. The letters to Lucy start out addressed to her at Ossipee New Hampshire but apparently George temporarily moved to Everett Washington There is talk in one letter of George not being able to enter Harvard but instead going to Washington State for work. George writes to his family on the letterhead of the "Everett Railway Light and Water Company" where he apparently worked in its office. Some of the letters from 1913 from Gerard H. Hughes are written when he was attending Harvard University and he and his family are trying to convince George to give up Everett and go to Harvard. The letters offer a look at life at the university at this time. Gerard was living at 42 Gray's Hall in the "yard." One letter talks about unannounced guests a student dropped by in the middle of the night to crash at his place: </p><p><i>"He had with him a futurist picture done by the illustrious Edward Forbes curator of the Fogg Museum and instructor of art in Harvard - at least that's what grandma told Miss Wakefield. It was news to me. The picture was supposed to represent a nigger in a water-melon patch Oh those witty Forbes! So Clever!. When Walter went he said he didn't like carrying that picture because people might think he did it. They would have grounds all right; 'cause he looks like a wandering artist without a cent."</i> </p><p>The same letter describes a prank pulled on a new Jewish student: </p><p><i>"Speaking of kidding people I must tell you about our top floor. The occupants are: Kimball and Richardson K & R. Co. Sylvester Rothschild commonly known as Uncle Roth or simply Roth also "Unk". Besides these are minor characters: Mr. Zunston Zee Saffron & Schoenfeld. Uncle Roth is always on his high horse and one time bade me not speak to him "in such an authoritative manner." He is a Jew and a Freshman and as green as grass.</i> </p><p><i>K & R. Co. have been trying to get his goat all year and they have succeeded pretty well. The other day they were fooling with him and he bust a window pane. Then they saw their chance. They borrowed Zee's typewriter and wrote a letter for "Unk" in which they stated that they were sorry to inform him that because of disorderly conduct he was placed on probation. They signed the letter with "Henry A. Yeomans."</i> Yeomans was the dean of the undergraduates </p><p><i><br /> Roth got the letter yesterday and hasn't slept since. He asked the janitor if he had squealed on him and the janitor said he hadn't. Unk then went and saw his faculty adviser. This august personage fell for it too and said that he couldn't tell how serious it might be but that he didn't like the sound of "disorderly conduct." Natural the poor goat is wild. He left the letter lying on his desk and K & R Co. naturally pinched it and burnt it destroying all evidence against themselves. In the meantime these rascals have been sympathizing with him and scaring him to death. They told him that if he cut he would be fired and so he can't get to see the Dean for fear of cutting. </i> </p><p><i>Anyhow he is going to try and see the Dean tomorrow and confess all his sins. When he tells Yeomans that he is on "pro" for busting a window pane the old boy will die laughing. I have never seen such a simple fool as Rothschild is." </i>Rothschild later became the Vice-Consul to Gothenburg Sweden. </p><p><b>1914 - 51 letters 280 pages 40 envelopes</b> of these letters 42 are written to Lucy C. Stephenson Hughes Her children Gerard 15 Jennie 10 and George 3 wrote most of them but there are also 7 letters written to Lucy from her niece Esther Stout of California 2 letters from her Aunt in England 1 letter from Sarah F. Hughes and 4 letters written by others including her friends and Henry A. Yeomans the Dean of undergraduates at Harvard University where her sons George and Gerard are studying. Also among these 51 letters is one letter written by Lucy to Dean Yeomans a typed copy of the letter sent by Dean Yeomans to Gerard 5 letters from Lucy to Gerard and 1 letter from George to Gerard. It would appear that Gerard was having a tough Freshman year at Harvard and was risking not being welcomed back for Sophomore year. There is also a letter from George to his Uncle Ainslie expressing his thoughts of quitting his job in Everett Washington and returning East to go to school at Harvard. The letters written by George and Gerard are written from Harvard and discuss chool life etc. </p><p><b>1915-1916 186 letters 894 pages 120 envelopes</b> of these letters 124 are written to Lucy with 100 of these 124 written to her by her children Jennie 60 George 19 and Gerard 21. Others were written to Lucy by her Aunt in England 1 Sarah F. Hughes 4 her niece Esther Stout of California 10 and the rest by friends or associates. There are also four letters to Lucy from her stock broker W. C. Buck of J. M. Forbes & Co. The rest of the letters in this group are 9 letters from Lucy to her "boys" George and Gerard combined with 19 letters from Lucy to her son Gerard and 12 letters from Lucy to her son George and one letter to her daughter Jeanie. There are also 7 letters to Gerard from his sister Jeanie and 6 from Jeanie to her brother George. There are 2 letters from Sarah F. Hughes to George plus 1 letter from Esther Stout to her cousin Jeanie and 1 letter from "Edith" to George. One letter to Lucy is from the Dean's Office at Harvard concerning her son George. One letter is written by Gerard to his brother George. There is also a copy of a letter from Dean B. S. Hurlbut concerning the poor academic record of George at Harvard which lands George on probation with the University as well as other letters concerning life at Harvard. For several years Jeanie worked in the department store field W. T. Grant Company Deisel - English Stauses traveling throughout the Midwest New England and New York. In one letter she talks of a company in Ohio wanting her to move there to be their buyer and in another she writes to her mother about being in New York City and happy to get out: </p><p><i>"I am rather glad to be out of New York just at present with so many strikes going on. The men on theFifth Avenue busses were striking when I left & now all of the Third Ave Street lines are striking. Don't worry dear about my becoming intimate with my business associates. There is a barrier which they cannot vault & which they seldom try to overcome."</i> </p><p>She also seems to have addressed women's clubs on her work: </p><p><i>"Before leaving Lima OH today I went to the College Women's Club Luncheon as their only speaker and gave them a short talk on my work. They seemed very much interested. There were only 37 women I believe. I didn't mind talking the least bit."</i> </p><p>In 1916 it was still quite unusual for women to be in the workplace especially traveling on the road. Jeanie experiences what today would be termed sexual harassment. In one letter 22 Mar 1916 to her brother Gerard she writes: </p><p><i>"I am staying at a hotel - you can imagine what it is like - city about thirty to forty thousand salesmen - "drummers" - Moses! How I hate the breed - a victrola that nearly sets my teeth on edge."</i> </p><p>Later in the same letter she writes: </p><p><i>"Oh these drummers! How I <u>hate</u> the <u>breed. </u>My I do wish I could lay some men dead with a glance! There would be a few ready for their coffins in this junk place! One glance is enough to give them my opinion of them and that is all that is really necessary."</i> </p><p>Jeanie also reveals some tricks of the trade to keep men at bay when on the road: </p><p><i>"My little ring is a wonderful asset - it always puts people at ease. Men are such conceited things that if they don't think you are engaged they are sure you are after them."</i> </p><p>Jeanie feels particularly harassed by Jewish men. In a letter dated April 1916 Jeanie is at Toledo Ohio and Anti-Semitic feelings are aroused: </p><p><i>"Back to the Travelers tonight armed with a smile.I am glad that it is to be only two more weeks for although I am getting lots of fun out of it I must say that I shall be glad to be back. I dislike drummers & traveling men and when they begin to think that mine is a traveling profession I hate them worse than ever. Marshall Fields men are usually real men - nice clean cut looking the sort you can talk to about the sale of certain things without putting them into their place every two seconds. But some of those little jews - liars! And vulgar - I feel as though a conversation with them contaminated me. However my work brings me in contact with them abut seldom. The teaching & general efficiency work I enjoy to the fullest. If the Strauses want to pay me $5000.00 I'll see what I can do to elevate them - I wouldn't go for less. I would heaps rather stay with the Deisel people for $1600 any day then go to that place and make thousands for the Strauses anyway. I declare I am getting to hate Jews - they deserve to be persecuted."</i> </p><p><br /> Overall the content of Jeanie's letters relating to her work on the road for department store companies is quite interesting for the time period. </p><p><b>1918 - 25 letters 112 pages 1 envelopes;</b> of these 25 letters 2 are written to Gerard 1 to Jennie and 23 to their Mother. Of the letters written to Mother 22 are written by her son George and 1 by her son Gerard. These 1918 letters offer much interesting description and observation on the lives and experiences of military aviators during World War One. One letter dated 26 August 1918 George makes the following comments to his brother Gerard: </p><p><i>"Paris is a hell of a place take the advice of an older brother and stay away from it. I went there with about $400 and came away poverty stricken in less than a week and didn't have anything to show for it except a pair of shoes that cost me the grand sum of 225 francs. One would have a duck fit back home if a dealer asked $40 for some foot wear but over here it's a case of "c'est la guerre" and one becomes quite immune to little chings like that."</i> </p><p>Later in the same letter he writes: </p><p><br /><i>"I think I'll try and get into bombing in the near future and from there to chasse. I'm beginning to get "fed up" on this observation game. I hear that back in the States they are giving men advance training in the various branches and you cast your lot for better or worse with no chance of transfer from bombing to chasse or vice versa or anything else. If that's so stick at the game of instructing and leave this war business alone. Chasse is too swift a game to go into with out some previous experience on the front and yet I'll be damned if I want to keep on warping these old hay racks for the rest of my days. Of course if one is lucky enough to get into a bunch using a two-seater fighter like the "Bristol" that's all right but ------! All the evidence personal and otherwise that I can get hold of still tends to show that flat skidding turns are the best maneuvers to pull to escape archies and hostile airplane and as a last resort go down in a fast spiral. But the main thing is to keep your eyes peeled in my opinion about 7/10 of all two-seaters shot down were caught napping or the observers' guns jammed; 3/10 may be shot down in a regular fight but I doubt it. A single chasse plane won't go near a two-seater that shows signs of having spotted him - surprise is their winning card and the one they try to play at all times."</i> </p><p>In a letter of 23 Oct 1918 George writes to his mother about the plane he was flying and the difficulty of it: </p><p><i>"I have always had good luck in drawing ships most generally get eh best one in the market; my luck held good that trip and I drew an exceptionally good bus for a Sop. I was the last to take off and strange to say I arrived at the end of our journey about two hours ahead of the next there. It was quite a trip almost up to Calais; its quite a trick to run one of those rotary motors and the gang at the Paris field didn't think I could get away with it as I had never driven anything but a stationary motor; in the rotary type the cylinders are arranged in a circle and the whole think revolves like a big grindstone; naturally when it gets turning over at a clip of 1200 -1350 revolutions a minute there's quite a torque which tends to pull the nose of your ship to one side or the other. I took off down the field lie this → the first think I knew I was in the air like this →↑ and before I could stop the damn thing I was going back down the field over the hangars "commuca" ­ Strange to say I reached my destination without mishap but the next time I tried to fly the fool think - I could keep the motor running long enough to get off the ground."</i> </p><p>Almost all of the 1918 letters offer this sort of insight into the World War One aviator. </p><p><b>1949 -1966 - 11 letters 32 pages 3 envelopes</b>; 3 letters dated 1949; 7 letters dated 1950 1 letter dated 1966; 3 letters are written by George to his daughter Octavia; 3 letters are written to Octavia from her Aunt Jeanie Hughes; 1 letter written to Octavia from her grandmother Lucy C. Hughes; 1 letter to Octavia from her sister Ann Hughes; 1 letter written to Octavia and Jeanie from a friend; and 1 letter to Jeanie from a friend in England. </p><p><b>Undated - 55 letters 308 pages 4 envelopes.</b> Of these 55 letters 41 of them are written to Lucy C. Hughes with 39 of them written to her by her children Jeanie George and Gerard. There is one letter written to Lucy by Sarah F. Hughes and 1 letter to Lucy by her niece Esther Stout of California. There are 7 letters written to George 3 from his sister Jeanie 1 from his brother Gerard 1 from Sarah F. Hughes and 2 others; 5 letters written to Gerard H.

‎Bradford Family‎

‎Archive of material related to Daniel Dunscomb Bradford of New York New York Consul at Paris France and a great-grandson of William Bradford Pennsylvania's first printer 1824-1838‎

‎Hardcover. Very Good.

Daniel Dunscomb Bradford 1808-1837 Daniel Dunscomb Bradford was born on 14 May 1808 the son of Jacob Bradford 1771-1816 and Elisa Dunscomb of New York City. He was baptized at Trinity Church New York City. Daniel was the second great grandson of William Bradford 1658-1752 the first printer in Pennsylvania and also the printer of the first book and newspaper in New York City. Daniel's father was first cousin to William Bradford 1755-1795 the second Attorney General of the United States 1794-1795. His grandfather Cornelius Bradford was the brother of the Revolutionary War printer William Bradford 1791-1791 the printer for the first Continental Congress. Daniel was one of five children the other four being: Margaret D. Cornelius died young Cornelius second of this name and David Dickson. At the age of 19 Daniel or "Dunscomb" as he was called commenced studying law and was admitted to the practice of law in 1831. He sailed for Europe after visiting England and proceeded to France where he was appointed the American Vice-Consul at Paris which office he held until his death in Paris on 5 December 1837 at the age of thirty years old. While in Paris as Consul Dunscomb was one of two non-family members present during the burial of General Lafayette in 1834. Bradford was also appointed the secretary of a committee of Americans in Paris who organized an appropriate expression of sorrow by the American people for Lafayette's death.
