Miscellaneous papers and genealogy, ca. 1857-1938.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32139778

Bound volume, clipping, and miscellaneous genealogical notes. Volume contains printed broadsides pasted in the front of the book, seven pages of columns of figures and check marks in pencil, a copy of a letter, and handwritten genealogical information. Three broadsides (Auburn, N.Y., 1857) contain directions for using William H. Ward's arrangement of signal lights and flags "to signalize a Ship, Frigate, Steamer, Vessel, Fort, etc." Genealogical information on the Craven, Chalfant, Dexter, Forbes, Fenton, Ward, Jobes, Marlatt, and Swayzey families includes limited biographical information on select individuals. The volume also contains a copy of a letter (1878) from W.H. Ward at Allegheny (Pa.) to T.M. Ely of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Altoona (Pa.) requesting (for the second time) a copy of their expert's report concerning his self-coupler in use on the B[altimore] & O[hio] Railway. The clipping contains information about the Fenton family including their coat-of-arms. Notes include genealogical information about the Fenton and Ward families.
