William Attmore papers, 1769-1946 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26319442

Business papers and family correspondence of Attmore (1750-1800), merchant of New Bern, N.C.; of his wife, Sarah (Sitgreaves) Attmore (1771- 1843); of their son, George Sitgreaves Attmore (1794-1859), lawyer, and of their relatives in New Bern and in Philadelphia, Pa. Business papers to 1800 relate to Attmore's merchandising and shipping activities at Philadelphia and New Bern; there are numerous bills and accounts, especially 1800-1817, from New Bern merchants, and Craven County, N.C., deeds for real estate. Personal and family letters are addressed chiefly to Sarah from her female relatives in New Bern, 1790-1793, and in Philadelphia, 1801-1843, with occasional ones from other North Carolina towns and from South Carolina. Papers after 1843 are less numerous and are mainly deeds and business papers of William Hollister Oliver (1829- 1908), son-in-law of G. S. Attmore. Also included is a series of apparently unrelated letters of Henry H. Villard, a North Carolina schoolteacher of French parentage. Later items are Attmore family genealogical charts.
