William Attmore Papers, . 1769-1946

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/a/Attmore,William.html

William Attmore (1750-1800) was a merchant and shipper of Philadelphia, Pa., and New Bern, N.C., who married Sarah Sitgreaves (1771-1843) of New Bern in 1790. They had four children including a son, George Sitgreaves Attmore. The collection includes business papers and family correspondence of William Attmore; of his wife, Sarah (Sitgreaves) Attmore; of their son, George Sitgreaves Attmore; and of their relatives in New Bern and in Philadelphia, Pa. Business papers to 1800 relate to William Attmore's merchandising and shipping activities at Philadelphia and New Bern; there are numerous bills and accounts, especially 1800-1817, from New Bern merchants, and Craven County, N.C., deeds for real estate. Personal and family letters are addressed chiefly to Sarah from her female relatives in New Bern, 1790-1793, and in Philadelphia, 1801-1843, with occasional ones from other North Carolina towns and from South Carolina. Papers after 1843 are less numerous and are mainly deeds and business papers of William Hollister Oliver (1829-1908), son-in-law of G. S. Attmore. Also included is a series of apparently unrelated letters of Henry H. Villard, a North Carolina schoolteacher of French parentage. Later items are Attmore family genealogical charts.
