Vail family. Papers, 1803-1888.

Title: Papers, 1803-1888.

The Vail family papers relate chiefly to the personal life and professional career of Aaron Vail (1796-1878). These papers include correspondence and diaries along with a wide array of financial, legal, and estate records. The correspondence of Aaron Vail (1796-1878) is generally personal in nature and addressed mostly to his family. His career with the State Department is mentioned frequently in his letters, particularly his time of service at the legation in London during the 1830s, and later at Madrid from 1840 to 1842. Many of the letters are written in French, since a number of the Vail's had been married into French families and spent much of their life living in France. The collection also includes correspondence, account books, wills, inventories, and other papers relative to the settlement of the estate of various family members. Aaron Vail was the executor of the estate of his brother Eugene who died in 1843. Later, Aaron Vail Jr. was primarily responsible for settling his father's estate. Likewise, D. Thomas Vail handled the estate of his father George Vail. Correspondents include John E. Wool, Edward Livingston, William Henry Trescot, Washington Irving and James Buchanan. These papers contain discussions of international relations, trade and commerce. Many of the family papers deal with private family matters such as finances, health, and employment..
