Cartland family, collector.
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was an American poet and abolitionist. He was born into a Quaker family in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
The Cartlands of Lee, N.H., were also Quakers, and were cousins of the poet Whittier. Moses Austin Cartland (1805-1863) was a schoolmaster and journalist. His wife was Mary Page Gove and son was Charles Sumner Cartland. Moses' brother Joseph Cartland (1810-1898) was also an educator. With his wife Gertrude Whittier Cartland (1822-1911), Joseph was principal of Moses Brown School in Providence, R.I. (1855-1860). Based on the numerous annotations on the versos of these items, this material at one time belonged to the Cartland family.
