John Hamilton Cornish papers, 1833-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24561239

John Hamilton Cornish's diary, 1833-1877, and family papers. The diary describes his education, his experiences teaching and preaching in the South Carolina Low Country, plantation life, and the treatment of slaves. The extensive family and church correspondence augments the diary and includes letters from John's brother, Andrew Cornish, who was a minister at Pendleton, S.C., and letters from the various Cornish children at schools and colleges in the North and South. The courtship of Joseph Cornish and Mary Tuttle, which ended abruptly and without an engagement, is documented in a three-year exchange of letters. Also included are scattered sermons and writings; record books of church observances and memoranda; a register of African American members of an Episcopal church on the North Santee River, 1843; Cornish's manuscript history of ritual music at the Episcopal Church on Sullivan's Island, 1846; and a history of Saint Thaddeus Church, Aiken, S.C., 1842-1966.
