Joseph W. Blaine Family

Biographical notes:

This collection consists of the papers of three generations of the Blaine and MacLellan families, who resided in Newport from 1882 to 1986. Alexander MacLellan (1856-1939) emigrated from Scotland in 1882, and served as a head gardener at several large estates. His daughter Rowena (1886-1965) married jeweler Joseph W. Blaine (1875-1953). Their son Joseph W. Blaine Jr. (1920-1986) was an electrical engineer who retired young to devote himself to the study of history. More extensive notes on each can be found preceding the inventories for each subgroup.

From the guide to the Joseph W. Blaine Family Papers, 1868-1986, (Rhode Island Historical Society)
