Papers, 1691-1844.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/18478946

Papers of Francis Jackson include much family genealogical information. Most of the collection is correspondence from Mary Clark of Concord, N.H. to her cousins Francis and Eliza Jackson. Beyond news of family, the correspondence concerns political, religious and social issues including Congregationalism, lack of funding for Free Schools, the influence of Millennialism, Quakers, Shakers, the cultural assimilation of Native Americans, women's rights, and anti-slavery efforts. Clark made frequent allusion to articles in the North American Review. Among the notable figures discussed were Robert G. Harper; New Hampshire Governor David L. Morril; Jacob Osgood, leader of the Osgoodites; Josiah Quincy; and John Pierpont. Also, a letter from Thomas Boylston Adams regarding some genealogical matters.
