520 | |a Maria O'Brien Clymer was the wife of George Clymer, Jr., daughter-in-law of George Clymer, the signer of the Declaration of Independence. Her son Meredith Clymer studied medicine in Europe, practiced in Philadelphia and New York, specializing in nervous disorders, became president of Pridedale Iron Company, New York City, returned to medicine as assistant surgeon general during the Civil War, and thereafter continued his practice in New York and Albany with some apparent difficulty. A portion of these papers consist of Maria Clymer's personal incoming correspondence, 1807-1848. For Meredith Clymer there is a diary fragment, June-July, 1840, of his visit in Germany. His correspondence and military papers, 1841, 1853-1870, 1899, concern his Civil War service and other professional activities as well as personal affairs, particularly his estrangement from his wife Eliza L. Snelling in 1866. There are also some genealogical notes. Formerly part of 138. | ||
