Painter Family. Painter family papers, 1687-1948.

Title: Painter family papers, 1687-1948.

The bulk of the Painter collection was assembled by Minshall Painter (1801-1873) and his brother Jacob (1814-1876), Quakers from Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pa. The collection includes family correspondence, business and legal papers, papers on interests and concerns of the Painter brothers, genealogical papers, and miscellaneous deeds and other papers collected by Minshall Painter. The collection is a rich source of information not only on the Painter family of Delaware County and the origins of the Tyler Arboretum, but also agriculture, social life and customs, and nineteenth century Quaker concerns.
