The Vail family is represented by several pieces, and there are single items for the following families: Cope, Douglas, McCall, Penn, Pennington, Shippen, Somerled, Washington, Wilcox, and Wilson. There are miscellaneous single items relating to Robert Blackwell (photograph of a certificate of ordination), William Schnider (newspaper obituary), and Joseph Priestley (a transcription of the memorial tablet on a meeting house in Birmingham, England), and a printed list of the general officers of the Revolutionary Army prepared by Jeremiah Colburn. Also in the folder is a transcription of the McAllister genealogy copied from the family bible now in the Library Company collection (published in Edinburgh [Scotland]: Printed by Mark and Charles Kerr, His Majesty's printers, MDCCXCIII. [1793], call number *A Bible Eng 1793 Log.1504.Q.1 (McAllister)).
