Jarvis family papers, 1773-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/320353225

The Jarvis Family papers mainly comprises correspondence to and from several family members, beginning with the Rt. Rev. Abraham Jarvis, and his wife, Ann Farmar's family. Among his accomplishments, Rev. Jarvis was the second Episcopal bishop in Connecticut. Other correspondents and recipients include Abraham's son, Rev. Samuel Farmar Jarvis; Samuel's son, Samuel Farmar Jarvis, Jr.; and Rev. Samuel's wife and Samuel Jr.'s mother, Sarah McCurdy (Hart) Jarvis. The marriage of Sarah Hart to Rev. Samuel Jarvis accounts for the papers of her father, Capt. Elisha Hart, within the collection. Samuel Jarvis, Jr. was executor for the estate of his aunt, Ann (Hart) Hull, widow of Commodore Isaac Hull. Notebooks within the collection belonged to her, and contain news clippings regarding the death of the Commodore. The passport of Ellen Anderson Jarvis, daughter of Samuel, Jr., is among the notebooks as well as identification cards from her service as a nurse during World War I. Sarah and Samuel Jarvis divorced in 1842. One letter, written by Sarah, discusses the division of property.
