Corlis-Respess family. Corlis-Respess Family : Papers, 1698-1984 1787-1840.

Title: Corlis-Respess Family : Papers, 1698-1984 1787-1840.

John Corlis, 1767-1839, was a successful merchant in Providence (R.I.) but suffered misfortune when his ship, Hazard, was seized by the Spanish governor at Valparaiso, Chile, in 1801. Financial difficulties resulting from the Hazard and other unsound investments drove him to leave Rhode Island for Bourbon County (Ky.) in 1816. Correspondence includes early letters, 1787-1799, discussing his and Robert Murray's trading efforts along the North Carolina coast; letters, 1801-1815, discussing his international trading efforts and the ill fated voyage of the Hazard; letters, 1816-1839, discussing his and his family's efforts to establish a farm in Kentucky, finances, daily routines, family matters, and John Corlis' efforts to start a distillery in Bourbon County; and later letters, 1829-1900, are primarily between Susan C.R. (Corlis) Respess and her family, although other Corlis children are represented. John Corlis' business records include accounts, payments, promissory notes, and receipts detailing his efforts as a merchant and international trader in Providence, 1787-1815, and as a farmer in Kentucky. They also include records from the Hazard, 1801-1802, as well as invoices, memoranda, and bills of lading, 1817-1819, regarding the shipment of tobacco down the Kentucky River to New Orleans. Legal records, 1790-1816 and undated, detail John Corlis' handling of his brother-in-law, John C. Nightingale's estate. Records include material relating to his investments in Yazoo lands. Land records, 1698, 1747-1868, include indentures, deeds, and contracts regarding the Corlis family buying and selling land and lots in Rhode Island and in Providence; the Corlis and Respess families purchase of land in Bourbon County (Ky.), 1812-1816; and later deeds and indentures regarding land purchased by the Respess family in Boone and Kenton counties in Kentucky. Collection also includes John Corlis' commission, 5 Nov. 1792, in the Rhode Island militia; broadsides; recipes and a recipe book; Elizabeth Corlis' poetry book; essays; newspaper clippings; family records from the Respess family Bible; and other miscellaneous genealogical information.
