| Summary: |
Estate papers of George Roberts, ironmonger of Philadelphia, and his heirs: Hugh Roberts, George Roberts [II], Elizabeth F. Roberts, Charles F. Roberts, Mary Roberts Smith and her husband John Jay Smith, Mary Roberts Smith, George Roberts Smith, Thomas Newbold Smith, Harry M. Smith, Charles Morton Smith, Sarah Emlen Roberts Ingersoll, and other grandchildren, great grandchildren, and their spouses. Much of the estate was derived from property in Philadelphia and various pieces of land in Centre, Clearfield, and Elk Counties, and much of the financial and legal papers are concerned with the management of this property.
The small groups of correspondence also refer mostly to family estate business, but there are Bainbridge, Ansley & Co. business letters, 1805-1810, to James Smith, Jr., Philadelphia merchant.
Also Harry M. Smith letters, 1846-1855, describe his expatriate life in Paris, viewed with disfavor by his brother. |
