Account books, correspondence, and other papers of members of the Conklyn family of Charles Town, Jefferson County, W. Va. The account books, 1845-1867, of merchant William H.

Other materials in the collection include the scrapbook, ca. 1890s, of Eleanor G. Conklyn; scattered accounts of Charles M. Conklyn and of Conklyn Bros.; 20th-century surveys of "Claymont," "Hopewell," and "Shannon Hill," all in Jefferson County; and correspondence and other papers of Willetta B. Conklyn.
