Wadsworth family. Wadsworth and Terry family papers, 1753-1866.

Title: Wadsworth and Terry family papers, 1753-1866.

Correspondence among members of the Wadsworth, Terry, Bacon, and Russell families of Hartford, Lebanon, and Middletown, Connecticut. The bulk of the correspondence was written by or to Daniel, Catherine and Harriet Wadsworth, children of Jeremiah and Mehitable Russell Wadsworth. Daniel wrote regularly to his mother and his sisters, several times from Montevideo in Uruguay, keeping them up to date on his activities; Harriet's letters were primarily written to her sister Catherine. Mehitable evidently knew Lydia Huntley (later Sigourney), as there are several letters from her in the collection. Catherine Wadsworth married Nathaniel Terry. Among her correspondents were her cousin Decius Wadsworth, her husband Nathaniel, Faith Trumbull Wadsworth, Susan Johnson, and Catherine's sons Charles A. and Alfred Terry. Hannah Russell, Mehitable's sister, is represented by letters from her niece Catherine Wadsworth and to her cousin and brother. Many of her letters are unaddressed, do not contain a salutation and are undated, making it difficult to determine if they were ever sent. Hannah also wrote poetry and essays which comprise part of the collection. Additional documents, mostly correspondence, exist for other branches of the family and other individuals. These include a commission to Nathaniel Terry and a letter; letters from Leonard Bacon to his wife Catherine E. Terry Bacon; from Thomas Rutherford Bacon to his mother and father; a penmanship document marked Samuel Russell; letters to Nabby Wadsworth; and letters to members of the Rawson family.
