http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207130104

This collection of papers contains chronologically arranged family correspondence and business documents, an account book, and some miscellaneous material. The family correspondence, 1815-1862, consists mostly of letters from George Denny (1801-1852) to his sons, George Parkman Denny (1826-1885) and Charles Austin Denny (1828- ). These letters were written from 1837 to 1850 and are personal in nature. There is also correspondence of Daniel Denny Jr. (1792-1872) and Austin Denny (1795-1830). The business documents, 1815-1840, consist of agreements and other miscellaneous items concerning Daniel Denny, Jr. and George Denny. The account book, kept for the periods 1805-1809 and 1823-1830, is divided into two sections. The first half of the book is primarily personal accounts kept by Daniel Denny (1758-1822) recording specific dealers and products. The latter half of the book consists of entries made by Austin Denny, both personal and business. These entries include legal fees, donations, and transactions for the Massachusetts Yeoman. The miscellaneous material, 1852-1872, consists of newspaper obituary notices of Daniel Denny, Jr., and George Denny and a letter and papers on Denny family genealogy.
