The bulk of information retained is from 1820-1849. And includes several noteworthy county specific records for Geauga, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties (land transfers, tax receipts, election results). Also in the collection are family correspondence dating 1850-1914, genealogical research done by the donor and a small leather pouch. The collection is in four distinct series of information. The bulk of the information remains within the 1810-1850 date range with minor family correspondence extending through the beginning of the 20th century.
