Janvier, Danforth, and Bush family papers, 1842-1880.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/668313749

A small collection of materials relating to the Janvier, Danforth, and Bush families of New Castle County, Delaware. Of great interest is the friendship album of Emma Danforth (later Mrs. George W. Bush). It includes a note from Samuel F. B. Morse about how he came to be a model for a painting by the English artist Charles Robert Leslie. An engraving of the painting is in Emma's album. The collection also includes a copy book which belonged to Mary G. Janvier; which contains a catechism on Judgment; a memorial album commemorating Emma Danforth Bush; photos of Emma D. Bush and her family; a copy of the will of Thomas Janvier (died 1852); a very brief history of part of the Janvier family; and minutes of the Rugby Foot-ball club of which George W. Bush, Jr., was a member. Some materials pertain to settling the estate of Sarah McAlister, whose executor was David Bush.
