Barclay, Clarkson, Moffat, and Pierrepont genealogical research papers 1791-1939

http://archives.nypl.org/mss/18099

R. Burnham Moffat (1861-1916) was a New York City attorney and the author of several genealogical works. The Barclay, Clarkson, Moffat, and Pierrepont genealogical research papers consist chiefly of the correspondence and research files of R. Burnham Moffat created in the course of his research on the Barclay, Clarkson, Moffatt, and Pierrepont families. The collection also contains additional letters and research notes of John J. Pierrepont, Henry E. Pierrepont, and numerous clippings, particularly of family obituaries, 1791-1939. Original family materials include an early copy of a 1765 Clarkson family will, a "pocket piece" embroidered by Elizabeth Clarkson for her grandson, an 1860 letter to William Clarkson concerning family possessions in Amsterdam, and a campaign card from Abbot Low Moffat's 1929 campaign for the New York State Assembly, 15th District.
