| Summary: |
This collection contains the papers of four generations of the Paul family. Members of the family first arrived in the United States in 1685 and settled in Philadelphia, Bucks County, PA, and Belvidere, N. J. Among the materials representing them are indentures, estate information, accounts, business records, correspondence, and miscellaneous items. Several sections of the collection are of particular note. The records of the businesses of Comegys Paul contain detailed information about the dry-goods trade from 1810-1850. Family correspondence, such as letters written by John Marshall Paul and John Rodman Paul on their European trip, 1823-1825, provide insight into American views of Europe from the time period. Finally, domestic family correspondence illustrates family life in the late nineteenth century. |
