Joseph Buell family papers, 1785-1956 1810-1890.

Consists primarily of correspondence, genealogical material, transcripts of journals, and family recollections of the settlement of the Ohio frontier. The major part of the collection consists of correspondence between members of the Buell family (1810-1890). Genealogical material is composed of charts, histories, sketches, notes, and a memorial and refers to the Buell family and related Curtis, Tupper, Lewis, Nye, and Gray families. Included is a history of the Lewis family which claims lineage from George Washington and a pedigree evidencing the Washington-Lewis line. The collection is of value for those interested in the settlement and development of the Ohio frontier and the Northwest Territory, and the establishment of Marietta, Ohio. It includes a transcript of a journal of Sergeant Joseph Buell, kept from 1785-1789 and detailing the establishment and maintenance of a frontier military outpost. Extensive materials on the process of recruiting soldiers for service in the 63rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry regiment during the Civil War are included in William H. Buell's papers. Also of interest are the recollections of Pheobe Wood Putnam concerning her journey from Connecticut to settle in Marietta, and Anselm Tupper Nye and unidentified members of the Buell family concerning the settlement of Miami County. Genealogists will find useful records on the Buell, Curtis, Gray, Lewis, Nye, and Tupper families of southern Ohio.
