The business and financial papers chronicle the financial aspects of Leverich & Co., the Oak Lawn and Dogberry plantations, and household expenses of the Leverich and allied families. Most of the business material from before 1835 pertains to Peter Remsen & Co. of which Henry S. Leverich was an associate. Other materials relate to the Bank of New York, Joseph Lallande & Co., Marshall Pepoon, Cammann & Co., Francis Skiddy & Co., Walter T. Miller & Co., and Brodie & Dubrow. The insurance, tax, and legal material include wills, deeds, files related to the Burdon Sugar case, property and utility tax documents, and record books for several insurance firms. The family memorabilia includes children's writings, an engagement book, clippings, and recipes.
