http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122689673

This collection contains William Jones material. The incoming correspondence, 1791-1827, is mainly addressed to Jones in his capacities as Secretary of the Navy, acting Secretary of the Treasury, and Second Bank of the United States president. It includes a small group of letters, 1813, mostly from Judge Joseph H. Nicholson of Baltimore, concerning Joshua Barney's duel with Lemuel Taylor. There are a few letters from family or mercantile business associates including Joshua and Samuel Humphreys. Among other William Jones papers are: a logbook, 1805-1806, kept by Jones as master of the ship Ploughboy; copies of U.S. Navy estimates for dimensions and equipment of ships of war; estate papers; newspaper clippings; and Smith's biographical notes. The collection includes other miscellaneous letters and genealogies of Smith's family. Clarke, Jones, Loxley and related lines are represented. There is a logbook kept by Lloyd Jones, 1797-1798, of two voyages made by the brig Benjamin Franklin between Philadelphia and Bordeaux. Uselma Clarke Smith's own papers are few: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice George Sharswood letters, 1864-1871, concerning property settlement; letters and documents, 1868-1888, relative to the schooling of his son Robert M. Smith at Bordentown Military Institute; estate papers, 1863-1899, of Jane Loxley Clarke, Charlotte Jones Smith Goodrich, Catherine Loxley Jones, Mary P. Loxley, and others; law school notes; and miscellany.
