Title: Perot family papers, 1705-1956, bulk 1818-1956.

The bulk of materials in this collection relate to the Perots' brewing and malting company but a few documents, including land records, correspondence, mining stocks, and financial records, also highlight the interests of Perot family members. The company's records (1818-1956) are mostly financial but also include minutes; materials relating to the construction of the Buffalo, New York, malting plant; and a variety of miscellany. Other materials highlight T. Morris Perot's interests in spiritual communication (1883-1884); T. Morris Perot Jr.'s contributions to the World War I relief work of his cousins Sarah and Harriet Hallowell, who lived in Moret, France; Rev. Elliston J. Perot's (second cousin of T. Morris Perot) studies and ministerial work in the Episcopalian Church; and the personal finances of brothers Sansom and Francis Perot, and Francis's son, Elliston Perot. Estate records of the Marshall family are also included in this collection; T. Morris and T. Morris Perot Jr. were executors of their estates. Also present are photographs and miscellaneous materials for which the creator could not be identified or which had no apparent connection to the Perot family or their business.
