The Giles Family Papers 1750-1851

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/nyhs/giles/giles.html

The Giles Family Papers consists primarily of papers belonging to Aquila and Elizabeth Shipton Giles, their descendants, and their extended family, including correspondence, love letters between Aquila Giles and Elizabeth Shipton Giles, accounts, leases, surveys, commissions, bills, receipts, and notes.
