Amory family papers, 1697-1894, consist of business, estate, and personal papers of the Amory family and related Coffin and Sullivan families of Boston, Mass. Business papers pertain to the multi-generational family merchant establishments Jonathan and John Amory; Amory, Taylor, and Rogers; Cutler and Amory; John and Thomas Amory; and Jonathan and Thomas Amory and Company.

Correspondents include merchants John Rowe, Enoch Greenleaf, Cotton Tufts, Obadiah Curtis and London merchant houses Forsyth, Smith & Company and Harrison & Ansley, among others. Materials related to Jonathan and John Amory and Amory, Taylor, and Rogers are of particular importance as they document the struggle Boston merchants had with the Stamp Act, British taxation, non-importation, and parliamentary encroachments on the colonies and trade. Personal papers of the Amory, Sullivan, Cutler, and Coffin families include extensive papers detailing family trusts and estates; family real estate holdings; wills and deeds; account books; commonplace-books; and newspaper clippings. Family correspondence includes letters between Thomas and Rebekah Holmes Amory with Thomas's sister Ann Ramsey; letters from Quebec distiller and Loyalist John Coffin to his daughter Elizabeth Coffin Amory and son-in-law Thomas Amory; and correspondence between Mehitable Sullivan Cutler and her husband James Cutler, father Mass. gov. James Sullivan, brother William Sullivan, and daughter Mary Ann Appleton.

Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Title: Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Papers of the Palfrey family of New England. The material of this collection encompasses over 150 years of American history and many items of interest besides those documenting the life and works of John Gorham Palfrey, who is its central figure. A few of these may be briefly mentioned here. The papers of William Palfrey include letters between John Wilkes and the Sons of Liberty and William Palfrey's personal correspondence with Wilkes at the time of the latter's imprisonment in 1769-1770, including Palfrey's description of the Boston Massacre. William Palfrey's business account and financial papers are extensive and range in subject from accounts of trade with Virginia in 1763 to the disposition of funds of the Continental Army during the time Palfrey was Pay Master General. His close association and correspondence with John Hancock should be noted. Several interesting items pertain to the dispute between Hancock and the Boston printer, John Mein, which resulted in Thomas Longman's suit against Mein and the latter's imprisonment. The papers of John Palfrey deal mainly with his business affairs and the management of his plantation at Attakapas. However, several letters by his sons, Edward, William Taylor, and Henry William give first-hand accounts of battles in the war of 1812. Letters to John Gorham Palfrey from over 1000 corespondents form the largest single section in the collection. Of special importance are 377 letters from Jared Sparks and 148 letters from Charles Sumner.
