Ogden family papers, ca. 1805 -ca. 1902.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58779815

Papers and correspondence, ca. 1805 - ca. 1902, principally related to Abraham Ogden, Jr., and his son, Alfred Ogden. The collection consists of business correspondence, accounts, mortgages, indentures, and other legal documents. Much of it is concerned with the family's landholdings in western New York State, particularly Indian reservation lands west of the Genesee river, where the Seneca nation had a claim. Other groups of papers deal with the family's interest in French spoliation claims, and with the estates of Thomas Ludlow Ogden and David Aaron Ogden. There is also a letter book of the General Mutual Insurance Co., New York City, 1846-1848, containing copies of letters written by Abraham Ogden in his capacity as president of the company, and by his successor, Nicholas G. Rutgers. There is also a diploma issued by the University of Pennsylvania in 1761 to Abraham Ogden, Sr.
