Hay family papers, (bulk 1862-1901)
Manuscripts
The Hay family papers contain 176 items from 1862 to 1959; the collection includes personal and business letters, legal documents, as well as official documentation of Thomas Hay's pension. The first three folders contain letters from Thomas Hay to his family during the Civil War. The fourth and fifth folders focus on Elizabeth A. Hay's efforts to receive Thomas' pension after his death. The sixth folder deals with Thomas' affiliation with Freemasonry in both the United States and Chile. The seventh folder contains documentation regarding Elizabeth A. Hay's estate upon her death. The remaining eight folders cover broad aspects that are multi-generational, including correspondence, land deals, legal documents, California teaching record, ephemera, and a photograph album. Please note, since the Freemason documents were created within the institution, the date that is shown is the Anno Lucis amount, which began in 4000 B.C.E.; therefore, simply subtracting 4000 from the number shown reveals the more traditional date. Also included with the collection is the tin box that reads "Elizabeth A. Hay" which was used to store these family papers.
