Family papers, 1737-1882.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26208971

Correspondence, business papers, and ms. writings provide partial documentation of Goodell's early mercantile activities (1813-21) and of his mature writings on temperance and religion (1842-74). The numerous anti-slavery publications which he edited are not present in this collection. Legal documents (1737-1861) relate to the Goodell family of Pomfret, Connecticut and the Frost family of Riga, New York. A small amount of correspondence and professional papers (1874-80) pertain to Goodell's daughter, Rhoda Lavinia, who was a justice on the State Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
