Papers, 1785-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122465102

Correspondence and legal papers relating to the estate of Jacob Baker, his son-in-law John William Baker, who lived in Cuba, and son-in-law Cornelius Comegys. The responsibility for the estates all eventually devolved to Isaac S. Smyth, Comegys' son-in-law. (John W. Baker's estate was particularly confused by the claims of illegitimate children.) There is some family and other personal correspondence, including John W. Baker letters, 1816-1855 to his sister Catherine Comegys, and Cornelius Comegys' business papers.
