  Diaries of Samuel W. Richards and Mary Richards [microform] : 1839-1876

  Manuscripts

  Microfilm of about seven diaries kept by Samuel Whitney Richards and Mary Richards between 1839 and 1876. Some of the diaries are multiple pieces or are written on loose pages. The first diary was kept by Samuel Richards at Richmond, Massachusetts, from 1839-1840. He writes of going to work for his uncle William Richards, including growing potatoes, putting up fences, plowing, harvesting hay, and other farm work, as well as working in a saw mill. The volume also contains an autobiography which recounts events in Illinois from 1843-1844, particularly regarding the Nauvoo Legion and Joseph Smith, and chronological notes from 1846 recalling departing from Nauvoo and traveling to New York City before sailing to Liverpool. That volume is followed by two diaries kept by Mary Richards at Nauvoo in 1846-1847 and 1848, while Samuel was away serving on a mission to Great Britain. Mary describes her daily and family life as well as events surrounding the Mormon Church. Those diaries are followed by a volume kept by Samuel Richards in 1848, when he was preparing to leave Missouri. It then skips back to his departure from England, a list of Scottish Saints, and an account of traveling up rivers to Winter Quarters. His 1849 diary describes his travels from Iowa to Salt Lake City, and his 1855-1856 and 1876 diaries recall his life in Utah.

  Holladay, Samuel W., 1823-1915. 2 letters (1859-1861) to Georgiana Catherine Ord Holladay

  Manuscripts

  The Appointment books/address books series is arranged alphabetically by author. The items in this series chronicle the day-to-day activities of Collis Huntington Holladay, Margaret Broad Holladay, and Henry Edwards Huntington. They span from 1925-1969. The Family Records series is arranged alphabetically and contains such items as application forms submitted by various family members to such organizations as the: Society of Colonial Wars in the State of California, Sons of the American Revolution: California Society, and the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames, Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Families of New Netherland. These applications show how the family member applying is eligible for group membership by tracing the family lineage back to the family member who can qualify them to be part of that group. In addition, this series includes genealogical tables and family genealogies documenting the lineage of the Huntington Holladay family. The items are grouped by surname Cresap, Holladay, Ord, Saunders, and Vincent. In some way all of the families are related to one another. Items found within this grouping include personal narratives both hand written and typed by various family members, birth and death dates of family members, family trees, and obituaries. Some of the items in this series date back to the 1600's. One item worth noting is a genealogical chart from the Ord family. The chart is very comprehensive starting with James Ord who was born in England, April 1786 and later moved to Omaha, Nebraska with his wife Rebecca Ruth Cresap on January 25, 1873. The Ords are the ancestors of the Huntington Holladay family and the chart traces the lineage up until the time it was made in 1936. Also in this series are newspaper clippings which mention the Huntington Holladay family, a biography of Henry E. Huntington, documents pertaining to the Huntington Family Association and their annual meetings, and lastly, obituaries relating to the deaths of Alfred O. Larkin and Collis P. Huntington.
