Trapier family papers, 1752-1887 (bulk 1825-1865) [manuscript].

Chiefly correspondence, 1825-1865, of Paul Trapier (1806-1872), Episcopal clergyman of Georgetown and Charleston, S.C., about church and personal matters, and scattered earlier family papers. Correspondence includes letters from Trapier to Robert W. Harris at Columbia College, N.Y., 1828-1830, and letters from Stephen Elliott (1806-1866), James Hervey Otey (1800-1863), and other Episcopal clergymen. Scattered papers of Trapier's father-in-law, Bishop Theodore Dehon (1776-1817), 1797-1810, are included, as is a speech, perhaps by Dehon, on procedures for electing a bishop in Connecticut, 1813.
