http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/420438350

Papers of the Fothergill and related families of Yorkshire, England, and Wilmington, Delaware. Manuscripts include eighteenth and nineteenth century letters, essays, and genealogical documents. Some of the early correspondence, 1673-1842, was once bound together with linen edges. Of particular interest among these is a letter that describes the Duke of Cumberland's battles with Bonnie Prince Charlie (1745) and two anecdotes concerning Quaker minister, David Sands (late 18th century). There is also a manuscript recipe book as well as original sketches and watercolors.
