HANDWRITTEN THEATER BOOK Manuscript Plays/Performing Arts/Theatrical Diary c1857
FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL CIRCA 1857 MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF THEATRICAL PLAYS. This extraordinary 19th century volume was owned by Charles A. Carleton whose signature appears in a couple of places. Including front cover and front endpaper. This may have been Brooklyn, New York native Charles Arms Carleton(1836-1897) who graduated from Dartmouth College[Hanover, NH] in 1857 and became a general in the Union Army during the Civil War. This early handwritten volume came from an old New Hampshire estate and bears detailed notations resembling a college level notebook. Content is exclusively theatrical.

This extraordinary early document concerns a legal dispute between Kittery residents Francis Small and Abraham Corbit[aka Corbett] Latest date appearing on document is 1672 though we suspect it was penned slightly later(c.1690) The legal action described. Originally brought in 1670 by the plaintiff Small, was continued until 1671 and then again until 1672 when the case was settled. The amount sought by Small, 500 pounds sterling, was a considerable sum at the time. The court's judgment, rendered at Wells, resulted in Small's acquisition of over 200 acres of land at Newichawannock[present day Berwick] forfeited by the defendant, Corbett. The business ventures of Francis Small. So often resulting disastrously to him. In one instance at ... moreleast proved more successful. In 1670, he served an attachment upon'the Goods& for want thereof the Body of Abraham Corbett[of Kittery] to take Bond of him to the Value of five hundred pounds Sterling. Two years later. Judgment was granted against Corbett, and possession of two hundred and two acres of land at Newichewannock was given to Small. See: Descendants of Edward Small of New England and the Allied Families with Tracings of English Ancestry b y Lora Altine Woodbury Underhill(1910) Vol. 1.

FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL CIRCA 1690 DOCUMENT FROM SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

Date of sale was Nov. 17th, 1668, and transaction was officially entered in the records of Suffolk[County] in December, 1668. Although 1668 this is the latest date to appear in document, we suspect this"word for word.true copy" was penned slightly later(c.1690) In researching document we learned that Ezekiel Woodward's wife Ann was the daughter of William Beamsley(d.1658) of Boston. And the property deed pertains to was once owned by Beamsley. Specifically, the deed relates to the sale of a Boston house-lot by the heirs of William Beamsley. In addition to parties involved ... morein the transaction, other names appearing in document include Edward Tyng(c.1600-1681) whom the the town of Tyngsborough, Massachusetts is named after, Elisha Cooke[Both Elisha Cooke, Sr. 1637-1715) and Elisha Cooke, Jr. 1678-1737) were wealthy and influential Massachusetts politicians] and John Leverett, possibly the Harvard educated lawyer and politician who later became President of Harvard College. Boston is today the state capital and largest city in Massachusetts. It also serves as county seat of Suffolk County. Also the largest city in New England. Boston's city proper, covering 48 square miles, is home to an estimated population of 636,000, according to recent census data. The city is the anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, home to 4.5 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan area in the country.

EARLY COLONIAL AMERICANA Manuscript Sermon/Handwritten/Boston/Cotton Mather 1725
AMAZING. ORIGINAL EARLY 18TH CENTURY MANUSCRIPT SERMON. This remarkable early sermon is dated May 2nd. 1725 and was delivered on the"Sab[bath] after Mr. Fow[le's] funeral" Sermon was discovered in an archive of old documents pertaining to New England and we suspect the subject of sermon was Mr. John Fowle of Charlestown, Massachusetts, who died in April, 1725. It seems likely Mr. Fowle would have belonged to a local denomination such as the First Congregational Church in Charlestown. If that were the case, sermon would have been written and delivered by the Rev. Simon Bradstreet(1697-1741) Interestingly. Online records indicate that Mr. Fowle joined the Second Church of Boston in 1694. Although records from the 17th century often contain inaccuracies, it is indeed possible that Mr. Fowle crossed the river to attend the Second ... moreChurch of Boston. If that were the case, this sermon becomes more interesting from a historical perspective in that Cotton Mather(1663-1728) was the minister of that congregation from 1685 until the time of his death. By 1725 Cotton Mather was a well known and influential figure engaged in number of activities, and it seems unlikely he would have delivered this sermon and while we are not suggesting that, it certainly makes for interesting speculation. Date on rear leaf suggests the following sermon delivered by this minister was three weeks later, suggesting the clergyman in question was busy with other activities apart from preaching. Perhaps fittingly, lightly penciled diagnally across the back cover is the phrase"Cotton Mather? Another compelling feature of this early sermon is the manuscript notation on the front page. Penned later and in a different hand, stating, ms sermon- 1725- name lost from Dr Sprague" We suspect this volume once belonged to Dr. William Buell Sprague(1795-1876) pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Albany for some forty years and eminent author of many works. Sprague was also a renowned collector of autographs and manuscripts and was

NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN Handwritten Manuscript Diary/Hunting/Fishing/Archery 1647
AMAZING. ORIGINAL CIRCA LATE 17TH CENTURY DIARY FRAGMENT PERTAINING TO NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS. This extraordinary early diary clipping is dated 1647 and provides a fascinating glimpse at Pilgrim observations of the indigenous population in the rugged New World(probably Massachusetts Bay Colony) Neatly penned in an unknown cursive hand. Clipping is presumably a slightly later contemporary transcription(ca. 1685) of the original diary entry, made in an effort to help preserve the writings for later publication. Early manuscript is devoted exclusively to the activities and behavior of Native American Indians. Particularly their methods of hunting and fishing. Included is a reference to the"Powawes" an early term used to describe Indians who practiced forms of magic. Lengthy early fragment is backed by an additional layer of thin paper ... moreand matted onto single sheet of modern paper. The Indian people in these parts at the English first com ing. Were very barbarous and uncivilized. Going for the most part naked. Although the country be extreme cold in the winter-season: they are onely clothed with a Deer skin. And a little bit of cloth to cover their privy part. The Women for the most part are very modest. Although they go as naked as the Men; they are generally very laborious at their planting time. And the Men extraordinary idle. Making their squawes to carry their Children and the luggage beside; so that many times they travell eight or ten mile.

Listed Artist Taylor Handwritten Illustrated Letter Original Cartoon Manuscript
1932 two page original handwritten illustrated letter from American listed artist Henry White Taylor(1899-1943) to his daughter drawn on the artist’s letterhead. Also. An illustrated by Taylor, printed four page brochure for the sale of his Paoli, PA home and studio entitled“House in the Woods” The letter was sent from when the artist’s home and study in the woods was located at“the end of Biddle Road. Paoli PA, the envelope is marked with a 1932 postal cancellation. Henry White Taylor is a fairly obscure American artist. Due in part to his short life(he died at age 44) however his rarely available work sells at auction in the. 3.500 to 10,000 dollar range with a few examples sold in recent years by Rago. Of particular interest to anyone who owns a Henry W. Taylor painting. Or those who collect artist’s letters, and archives. This whimsical ... morecartoon illustrated letter to the artist’s daughter is positively charming. The sales brochure is an interesting example of the artist applying his skills and creativity to the practical matter. Of selling his home. It also provides a rare view of the artists PA studio where he created many of his paintings(very little biographical information on Henry White Taylor is available) Interestingly. A caricature of a long landscape painting that hangs over the fire place mantle in the home’s interior sketch bears a striking resemblance to a similarly dimensioned(15 x 62) landscape that sold at Rago in 2014. If you know who now owns the landscape. Please let them know about this listing! A few biographical notes I found on Taylor: He was a best friend of. And read and critiqued the pre-published manuscripts for, 1939 Pulitzer prize winning author T.S. Tribling. He was a staff illustrator in the 1930’s for the Saturday Evening Post. And was acquainted with N.C. Weyth. He studied under Hugh Breckenridge. Condition The illustrated letter is in excellent condition. The letter was written on the artist’s letterhead paper which was a good quality watermarked bond paper. The pape

LISBON MAINE Androscoggin County ME Handwritten Manuscript Cobbler Ledger 1800s
FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL MID-19TH CENTURY MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT BOOK FROM LISBON, MAINE. This terrific handwritten volume dates from 1834-1859 and was kept by cobbler William Booker(1812-1881) of Lison Falls. Maine. Compiler was fastidious in recording his entries, as the right and left columns balance out with equal sums on most every page. It appears the frugal yankee Booker also leveraged his cobbler skills through the use of bartering, sometimes making or repairing shoes in exchange for needed items rather than cash. Impressive ledger spans some twenty-five years of William Booker's life. Comprising of myriad of transactions he engaged in throughout that period. Although he took part in many activities such as butchering, haying, hauling, threshing, working in the mill, laying walls, fencing, harvesting, ploughing, blasting stone, etc. his ... moreprinciple skill set was that of a cobbler. Throughout much of volume, Mr. Booker derives an income and secures needed commodities by making and repairing shoes. Entries include tapping, mending, bottoming, binding, cutting, stitching, setting, etc. and encompass an array of footwear for men, women, and children, with size breakdowns sometimes included. Array of styles include leather shoes, work shoes, and boots of all kinds, along with occasional entries for the purchase of leather for his cobbler activities. Compiler also loaned out his horse to supplement his income, with customers traveling from Lisbon to various nearby communities such as Harpswell, Little River, Saco, Portland, Brunswick, Topsham, Yarmouth, Lewiston, etc. Account book is also a treasure trove of local genealogy as numerous names appear throughout. Including Ephraigm Andrews, Melinda Andrews, Jacob Bibber, Elbridge Blethen, Joseph Blethen, James Booker, Louisa Booker, Pierce Booker, Washington Booker, John Bradley, Hannah Brickett, James Brickett, Benjamin Burgess, Joshua Burrington, J.R.

1794 Handwritten Manuscript Estate Appraisal John Avery Preston CT Silversmith
This is an incredible 1794 handwritten manuscript representing the entire estate of the late John Avery who lived in Preston Connecticut and was a prominent silversmith and clock maker. Here is a short bio on Mr. Avery and then after that I found a longer one which is well worth reading before you get to the description of this manuscript… Biography: John Avery was born in Preston. Connecticut. On 6 December 1732. He was the son of Captain John and Anne Stanton Avery. On 22 January 1752, he married his cousin, Mary Parke. They had four sons and four daughters. Mary Avery died on 14 January 1770; on 14 April 1770, John Avery married his second wife, Experience Stanton. They had five sons and one daughter. John Avery was a clockmaker, silversmith, farmer, and public servant. He was a representative to the State Legislature in 1771, a Justice ... moreof the Peace in Preston for many years, and a selectman in Preston in 1774 and 1775. At the start of the American Revolution. He procured a paid substitute, but in 1776, he became part of a committee to procure arms for the war effort. John Avery died in Preston. Connecticut. On 23 July 1794. The next bio is mostly about the property and home that Mr. Avery owned but also about his life and the lives of his children… Traveling east on Route 2 and looking north shortly before the Ledyard town line. One can see where a house and other buildings formerly stood. Many of these buildings have been removed in preparation for the future construction of a hotel in this area. The buildings and adjoining property, which at one time consisted of more than 100 acres, was owned by a number of generations of the Avery family. Early Preston land records indicate that the property. Along with“buildings, fruit trees and fencing thereon, was sold by Joshua Parke to Captain John Avery in 1755. When Captain Avery died in the late 1780s, the property was inherited by his eldest son, John Jr. who had been living there since his marriage to Mary Parke in 1752. John Avery. Jr. was a farme
