Penelope Eliza Howard Alderman diary, 1851-1856.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26180416

Diary of Penelope Eliza Howard Alderman of Sampson County, N.C., covering the period January 1851 through August 1856. Starting with her marriage day and continuing through 18 August 1856, Penelope Alderman made entries documenting her daily life in Sampson County, N.C., and the birth of three of her twelve children (Penelope Ann, 1851; John Thomas, 1853; J. Palmer, 1855). Initially, the entries, made two or three times a week, are quite brief. By February 1854, however, she was making almost daily entries, many of them detailing not only her own life, but her husband's activities and those of her neighbors, family, and friends.
