Kerfoot, J. B. (John Barrett), 1816-1881. John Barrett Kerfoot papers, 1839-1886.

Title: John Barrett Kerfoot papers, 1839-1886.

This large collection spans virtually the whole of Kerfoot's ecclesiastical career and includes references to almost every issue and important event in the Episcopal Church during the period. The collection includes official papers, documents, reports, circulars, copies of sermons and addresses, but consists chiefly of voluminous and intimate correspondence with Kerfoot's mentor, collaborator and close friend, Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. A great deal of material concerns Kerfoot's activities in education: his years as head of the College of St. James in Hagerstown, 1842-1864; as President of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., 1864-1866; and interest in educational enterprises elsewhere, such as the work of the Reverend William Augustus Muhlenberg in New York; progress of the General Theological Seminary there; and Kerfoot's later efforts in education as Bishop of Pittsburgh. Substantial letters deal with the Civil War period: troubles and military events in Maryland, especially in Washington County; difficulties which caused the closing of the College of St. James; and Whittingham's ordeals as an activist for the Union. Papers from Kerfoot's episcopate, beginning in 1866, deal with affairs of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and of the Episcopal Church in general. They include correspondence and reports on episcopal services Kerfoot performed in Maryland and the District of Columbia in 1867 and 1869-1870. Others concern relations with the Church of England and events in England, the Lambeth Conferences of 1867 and 1875-1876, views on the Tractarian movement, ritualism, etc. Some deal with work of the Mexican Commission of the House of Bishops, relations with the Church of Jesus in Mexico, and consecration of Henry C. Riley as Bishop of the Valley of Mexico, 1874-1879. A vast number of other subjects are mentioned in Kerfoot's papers, all of which are segregated for research but many of which have not yet been indexed. The papers also include many references to family events and members, including Mrs. John B. Kerfoot, the Reverend Abel A. Kerfoot, the Reverend Richard T. Kerfoot, and Samuel H. Kerfoot. The collection also contains the original manuscript of Hall Harrison's 1886 biography of the Bishop Kerfoot.

Charles Nicoll Bancker family papers, 1733-1894, 1733-1894

Title: Charles Nicoll Bancker family papers, 1733-1894 1733-1894

In addition to correspondence, the collection contains various documents, such as a furniture inventory volume (30pp.); a Daybook, 1795-1800 (120pp.); and a very interesting journal (unidentified, but by one of the Banckers, and filed under "Description of a trip..."), from New York to Albany and back, between July 20-Aug. 15, 1793 (1 vol., 31 pp.). It contains detailed observations of the Hudson River and the towns along the way. C.N. Bancker was in business and trade prior to 1826, and in the insurance business after that date, so there is material relating to those topics in this collection. He owned a substantial library of the period, which was used by Charles Wilkes's Expedition after 1837 (see Reynell Coates to Bancker). This library, along with Bancker's notable scientific instrument collection, was sold after his death and there are published auction catalogues in the collection. There is much family correspondence from: Anne E. Bancker, Charles Gerard Bancker, Evert Bancker, Sarah U. Bancker, Violetta Bancker Talbot, Elizabeth Bancker Teackle, and John Teackle.
