George Jacob Abbot papers
Manuscripts
This collection includes the papers of five New England families related by marriage: the Abbot, Emery, Gilman, Nicholas, and Throop families. Included are correspondence, family photographs, a volume of printer's proofs, and newspaper clippings relating to Daniel Webster. There are not many letters of the Throops, Nicholases, or Emerys. However, the family materials of the Abbots and the family of John Taylor Gilman are more heavily represented. Gilman was a staunch Federalist who engaged in pre- and post-Revolutionary activities. Twice he served as Governor of New Hampshire. George Jacob Abbot's correspondence reflects his friendships with Daniel Webster and Edward Everett Hale. The correspondence between Abbot and Hale covers a wide range of current events, including discussion of Daniel Webster and John Taylor Gilman (1753-1828). There are some incomplete manuscripts, sermons, family photographs included as well as newspaper clippings relating to Daniel Webster. Also present is Franklin Pierce autograph letter signed to Samuel F. Abbot, 1856 April 14 (1 page).
