Jones and Taylor family papers, 1737-1971 (inclusive), 1830-1919 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122632997

This collection contains materials relating to four generations of the Jones and Taylor families and describes their business ventures, professional interests, and family relationships. Benjamin Jones's papers are business-oriented and focus on iron works in New Jersey and land speculation in western Pennsylvania. Papers pertaining to Benjamin's son Andrew Moore Jones contain business and estate information as well as family correspondence. Issues discussed in these letters range from family events and hardships to topics of national interest such as the Civil War. Andrew Jones's sister, Margaretta, married into the Taylor family and her descendents left the Philadelphia area for Maryland, Tennessee, and Texas. Correspondence to Andrew Jones from these family members describes the difficulties of dealing with death and remarriage in these distant locations, as well as family and current events. William J. Taylor, Jr., Margaretta's grandson, represents the fourth generation of the family. William J. Taylor Jr. returned to Philadelphia and became a surgeon. Associated families, including Grubb, Buckley, Haydock, Bonsall, and Howell are represented in the collection by miscellaneous materials.
