Barnes, John S. (John Sanford), 1836-1911. Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection, 1756-1931.
Title:
Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection, 1756-1931.
The collection consists of more than 1,100 letters, clippings, reprints, and other documents amassed by John Sanford Barnes and others to, from, and about notable persons including many with named series in the Naval History Society Collection (e.g., William Bainbridge, John Barry , French E. Chadwick, Gustavus Conyngham, Gustavus Vasa Fox, Caspar F. Goodrich, Isaac Hull, John Paul Jones, Richard Worsam Meade 3rd, Oliver Hazard Perry, and Henry A. Wise). Highlights of the series include documents signed by Presidents John Quincy Adams and James Madison; others signed by John C. Calhoun, Salmon P. Chase, Richard Henry Dana, David Farragut, Robert Fulton, John Hancock, Rufus King, Seth Low, Robert Morris, and Matthew C. Perry; and a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair removed after his death and sent by Robert Todd Lincoln to Gustavus Vasa Fox at the latter's request. Among David Porter's letters are cartoons and drawings by him, including one of animal-headed naval officers listening to explanations of the value of steam-powered vessels, which complement others in the Naval History Society's Fox collection. The William Smith folder includes a map of an attack on Whampoa, China, in 1870. It is unclear what Barnes's connection was to Nikola Tesla: letters from him indicate that he had visited Barnes in New York in 1904.

Title:
Admiralty dockets and case files, 1790-1847 [microform].
The records consist of dockets and case files for admiralty cases heard by the Circuit Court at its sittings in Philadelphia between 1789 and 1840. A typical case file may contain some or all of the following documents: bills of complaint, answers, depositions, transcripts of testimony, exhibits, orders and reports of masters. The exhibits may include copies of original letters, minutes, contracts and accounts, shipping articles, crew lists, logs, manifests and other documents submitted as evidence. Most of the admiralty cases before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania during the years 1789 to 1840 concerned actions for damages arising from collision; for breach of contract for services or goods, chiefly claims for seamen's wages and materials and supplies furnished; and for pilotage, towage, and wharfage fees, bottomry, and marine insurance. There were also suits concerning prize, ransom, and salvage rights; smuggling of goods; illegal transportation of slaves; assault and battery; theft of cargo; embezzlement and fraud; and the illegal transportation of foreign troops by a confiscated U.S. vessel.

Title:
Papers of the Key, Cutts, and Turner families [manuscript], 1808-1859.
In a series of pious letters, Francis Scott Key gives his daughter, Ann Arnold Key Turner, religious advice and sends her home news. There are some poems by Key including "Celebration hymn." The papers also include many letters to Ann Arnold Key Turner from her husband, Daniel Turner, and a letter from her to Jefferson Breckinridge explaining that her father was not an abolitionist. In another letter of interest Charles Howard describes the public mourning after the death of Francis Scott Key. Of special interest are a series of letters from Richard Cutts to his father Thomas Cutts describing the Embargo, the War of 1812, and the peace negotiations. The collection also includes Key and Turner family genealogies, a commonplace book of Ellen Lloyd Key and The life of O Possum, a children's story by Daniel Murray Key, whose death in a duel is mentioned in several letters and clippings. Correspondents include Stephen Decatur, John Young Mason, and Richard Rush.
