George Vaux papers, 1738-1985 1738-1985

http://www.amphilsoc.org/mole/view?docId=ead/Mss.Ms.Coll.73-ead.xml

The 18th century material includes the trans-Atlantic correspondence of James, Richard, and George V, along with domestic correspondence relating to family and business affairs. Several letters discuss Philadelphia during the British occupation, and seven discuss yellow fever in 1797-1798, with a particularly fine letter by Ann Warder discussing the epidemic of 1798. The participation of George Vaux VII in a Quaker mission to the Seneca Indians in 1803 is well documented. Later correspondence, almost all personal and familial in nature, documents the interest of George Vaux VIII in mineralogy, his travels abroad, and Vaux genealogy.
