| 520 | |a The Super and Bicking families were both from Pennsylvania, with members from both families residing throughout the Philadelphia suburbs, particularly in Delaware and Montgomery counties. They became linked through marriage. Jacob Super (1773-1820) was a cabinet maker who owned a shop on Elfreth's Alley in Philadelphia called Super & Fritz. He had a grandson named John B. Super (1835-1903) who entered the Union Army in March 1865. John Super married Josephine Hoopes in 1863. Charles Bicking (1798-1854) lived around Lower Merion, Pennsylvania. He married Ann Free in 1814. This is a collection of various family papers, the majority of which are from the Super family. Representing the Bicking family directly are a few notes, certificates, and clippings. There is also a copy of Poor Will's Almanac from 1798 bearing Charles Bicking's name. From the Super family there are groups of letters, some between John and Josephine (Hoopes) Super during his time away at war in 1865. There are also a number of letters to Josephine from her brother Isaac that pre-date the letters from John Super. Isaac's letters date from 1862 and suggest he was in the army. Isaac died in 1865. There are also other scattered family letters dating from the 1830s up to the 1870s, with a few items dating from earlier. Other items include John Super's receipt book, 1827-1837, a compilation of bound and printed English lessons that apparently belonged to Jacob Super, and genealogical and general family papers including vital records, deeds, indentures, insurance papers, and at least one original photograph. | ||
