Sidney Stevens Williston papers, 1760-1944.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/64665138

Bulk of the collection consists of family papers, mostly correspondence, with some documents and business papers pertaining to the Stoddard and Williston families of Hampshire County, MA, the Breese and Stevens families of Oneida County, NY, and the Hawkins, Tucker, and Huntington families of Chicago, from 1760-1944. The correspondence includes the diplomatic papers of Colonel John Wilson, U.S. Consul to Brussels, 1860s-1880s. The remaining papers reflect genealogical research by Sidney A. Stevens Williston, most prepared between 1930-1937, on the Breese, Stevens and their allied families (especially Forman and Burrows) and the Tucker, Hawkins and allied families. This is followed by correspondence and research notes on the Stoddard, Williston, Huntington and allied families, as well as Huntington Family Association correspondence. Concluding the collection are graphics including a few silhouettes of Breese and Stevens family members, and a Williston etching. The 811 photographs include tintypes, daguerreotypes, and glass plate negatives.
