Abstract
Sylvester Manor is the home of the original European settlers on Shelter Island in eastern Long Island, New York, created in 1652 with the arrival of Nathaniel and Grissell Sylvester. For over 350 years and continuing to this day, the Manor has remained with descendents of the original Sylvesters, and the Sylvester Manor Archive contains documents dating from its mid-17th century European settlement to the late-20th century. The earliest documents provide evidence of an operational northern provisioning plantation involved in the Atlantic trade of the 17th century, while later portions of the collection document the lives of several notable descendents including: Ezra L'Hommedieu, an attorney and politician from the American Revolutionary Era, Samuel Smith Gardiner, an attorney from a prominent family of eastern Long Island, and Eben Norton Horsford, successful entrepreneur and scientist at the forefront of the development of American food science and chemistry.
Historical Note
Sylvester Manor and its grounds are located on Shelter Island, an 8,000-acre island situated between the north and south forks of eastern Long Island that was inhabited by Manhansett Native Americans until its purchase in 1651 by the first permanent European settlers. Nathaniel Sylvester, an Englishman born and raised in Amsterdam, and three Barbadian planters, his brother, Constant, Thomas Middleton, and Thomas Rouse, bought the property to use in the Caribbean provisioning trade. Enslaved Africans, impressed Natives, and European indentured servants raised livestock, produced timber for barrels, and grew food to sell in the West Indies, where most arable land was devoted to valuable sugar cane. In 1653, Nathaniel (Nathaniell in most records) Sylvester and his wife Grissell Brinley (also recorded Grizzell), married and moved to Shelter Island, creating the establishment that would later bear their family name. The property was granted royal manor status by Governor Richard Nicoll of New York Colony in 1666.
In 1752 with the death of Brinley Sylvester, the estate passed to his daughter, Mary (Nathaniel's great-great granddaughter), and her husband Thomas Dering. The Manor remained in the Dering family for another two generations before debt forced the sale of the property. Dering records do not appear in any number in the Archive. The property was purchased from the Derings in 1827 by Samuel Smith Gardiner, a Suffolk County and New York attorney who had married into a different branch of Sylvester descendents.
Samuel Gardiner's wife was Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu, the daughter of Ezra L'Hommedieu, a very prominent attorney, national and state political representative, Suffolk County Clerk for some twenty years, and a great-great grandson of Nathaniel Sylvester. Although Ezra L'Hommedieu never owned Sylvester Manor, the collection houses a substantial volume of his papers. The Gardiners produced three daughters, Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner, Phoebe Dayton Gardiner (sometimes spelled Phebe, particularly in earlier records), and Frances (Fanny) Gardiner.
Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner wed Eben Norton Horsford, a professor of chemistry at Harvard University, a pioneer in food science, and founder of the Rumford Chemical Works in Providence, Rhode Island. Mary and E.N. produced four daughters, Lillian (also Lilian), Mary Katherine (Kate), Gertrude, and Mary Gardiner (Mamie). Mary died in 1855, and E.N. Horsford married her sister Phoebe two years later. Phoebe gave birth to one daughter, Cornelia Conway Fenton (referred to as Nellie in her younger years). Samuel Gardiner died in 1859, passing the Manor to Phoebe and E.N. Horsford, at which time it became a summer home, as the Horsfords were well established in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Following her mother's death in 1903, Cornelia Horsford, who never married, retained the property until her death in 1944. The property then passed to the Fiske family, a family of Boston attorneys into which Gertrude Horsford had married. Augustus Henry Fiske briefly inherited the Manor before passing the estate to his son Andrew, who held the Manor from 1949 until his death in 1992. His widow, Alice Hench Fiske, retained life interest until her death in 2006.
The original house was probably constructed soon after Nathaniel and Grissell's arrival. Provisioning activities likely ended in 1680 at Nathaniel's death, but farming and trading continued. After Brinley Sylvester, a successful merchant operating regionally in the New England and New York sphere, tore down the first dwelling, he constructed the current surviving house around 1735. By the time Samuel Gardiner became the owner of the manor in the early 19th century, the Manor property had been significantly reduced and much of the remaining arable land was leased to local farmers. When the Horsfords took possession of the manor, they hosted members of Boston's intellectual and social elite during the summers. While some small-scale farming continued, the existing gardens were formalized and expanded. The Horsfords set up monuments and fenced enclosures, including two extant graveyards, to relate their understanding of the landscape features of the property's history. After her mother's death, Cornelia Horsford maintained the home as a summer residence; continuing work on the gardens and overseeing a substantial renovation to the residence by the well-known architect, Henry Bacon, in 1908.
The estate currently comprises approximately 243 acres including the manor house, several subsidiary houses, as well as barns and out-buildings, most of which date to the nineteenth century. Sylvester Manor remains in the possession of family descendents and is today being cultivated as an educational organic farm. In addition, nine seasons of field schools were conducted by archaeological teams from the University of Massachusetts Boston, providing further information on the original buildings and activities conducted on the site. See http://www.fiskecenter.umb.edu/excavations.htm for information on the archaeological activities.
Due to the large number of individuals whose records are included in the Archive, more detailed Biographical Notes are made at the appropriate level of the finding aid.

Arrangement
Materials are divided into record groups by their general family affiliation (Sylvester, L'Hommedieu, Gardiner, Horsford, and Fiske) and subdivided into series consisting of individuals' papers. Women that crossed family divisions, such as Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu (Gardiner), and Phoebe Gardiner (Horsford), were included in their married family because most records date from after marriage. Sub-series are identified by the document or material types. Materials are arranged depending on the record type; correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent and then chronologically, most other materials are arranged chronologically except where noted.

About this Guide
Processing Information Note
Between 2008-2010, the Sylvester Manor Archive was arranged into record groups by family affiliation, then subdivided into series consisting of individuals' papers, and then chronologically. The finding aid published in 2010 consisted of record titles that described both creator and genre. Sponsored by the R.D.L. Gardiner Foundation, descriptive enhancements were added to the finding aid from 2014-2015. Scope and content notes in the correspondence series of Record Groups I, III, IV, and V now include physical details and subject information about the personal and professional lives of the Sylvester, Brinley, Lloyd, Gardiner, Horsford, and Fiske families. Record Group I also includes descriptive enhancements to its financial and legal records. During the course of these revisions, creator and genre information were separated into different descriptive fields; some items of similar genre or subject were consolidated; and some items received preservation treatment. For these reasons, the current finding aid reflects changes in box and folder locations.
The Sylvester Manor Archive finding aid published in 2010 without these descriptive enhancements is available by request.
Approximately 50 nitrate negatives, found in the repository during processing in 2016, were described in the finding aid and digitized. The nitrate negatives were transferred to New York City for safe destruction once the digitization process was completed.

Record Group I: Sylvester, Brinley, and Lloyd Families
Scope and Contents
Record Group I includes Sylvester, Brinley and Lloyd family items dating from 1649 to 1786. These documents provide evidence of an early northern provisioning plantation actively involved in the Atlantic trades and employing African slave labor, Native Americans, and early European settlers. Financial and accounting evidence of trading activities as well as a number of wills and land ownership documents of various family members provide detailed inventories of possessions during this period.
Series A: Sylvester Family
Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group I, Series A: Sylvester Family consists of financial records, legal records, and personal and professional correspondence. Genres range from deeds of property sales, enfranchisements, grants, indentures, inventories, and wills, to bills, bonds and receipts, to letters, notation, and genealogical research. This series also includes the earliest evidence of African American slavery on Shelter Island in the form of Grissell (Grizzell) Sylvester's last will and testament, dated 1685. These papers lightly refer to Shelter Island manorial business but also include accounts and ledgers of merchant activities in Boston while the settlement identified as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
This series is dominated by sales and settlement papers concerning Horse Neck, a property on the northern shore of Long Island. Horse Neck was purchased by Nathaniel Sylvester for his daughter Grissell (Grizzell) (1654-1691), who was engaged to be married to Latimer Sampson, who died before they were wed. Grissell then married Boston merchant James Lloyd, who appears in this series as well as in Series C: Lloyd Family. Following a dispute over the ownership of the Horse Neck property purchased by Nathaniel Sylvester and given to Latimer Sampson, it was determined that Sampson's will entitled the property to Grissell and therefore, Lloyd.
The name "Horse Neck" was originally used by Huntington farmers who grazed horses there in the 17th century. Matinecock Native Americans sold Horse Neck (or Caumsett, "place by sharp rock") to English settlers from Oyster Bay in 1654 before Boston merchant James Lloyd acquired the property in 1676. On March 8, 1685, Lieutenant Governor Thomas Dongan granted James Lloyd the royal patent for Horse Neck, formally renaming it the "Manor of Queens Village," annexed to Oyster Bay, Queens County. James Lloyd remained in Boston, renting the property out to tenant farmers, but in 1711 his 24-year-old son, Henry, gave up a shipping business in Newport, Rhode Island, to farm the Manor. His "salt box" home, the Henry Lloyd Manor House, stills survives on the grounds of Caumsett State Historic Park, where it has been restored, maintained, and interpreted by the Lloyd Harbor Historical Society.
What was once referred to as Horse Neck is now called Lloyd Neck, and is part of Lloyd Harbor, a village in Suffolk County, while the Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor is located in the town of Huntington, Long Island, New York. The Papers of the Lloyd Family of the Manor of Queens Village, Lloyd Neck, Long Island, New York in book (1654-1826) and manuscript form (1654-1822) are preserved at the New York Historical Society.
These materials are arranged chronologically. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If an item is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These items are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same series.
Biographical Note
The Sylvester Family was involved in the original purchase of Shelter Island in 1651 for the purposes of establishing a provisioning plantation for its Barbados sugar operations. Nathaniel Sylvester (1610 - 1680) was a member of an English merchant family that had briefly relocated to the Netherlands before moving to Barbados to manage the family's interests in a sugar plantation. He married Grissell (Grizzell) Brinley (1635 - 1687), who was the daughter of Francis Brinley, a merchant of some wealth based in Boston and Rhode Island. The couple came to live on Shelter Island in 1652 as the first Europeans to permanently settle there. The couple produced eleven children, including Giles (Gyles) Sylvester (1657 - 1704), who inherited the heart of the estate from his father, while portions were given to the four other sons (portions of the island had also been given to Constant Sylvester). The Sylvesters were sympathetic to the Quaker religion, and provided shelter to several of its followers during persecutions in other areas of New England. After Nathaniel's death, the property was no longer affiliated with the sugar plantation in Barbados that had been operated by Nathaniel's brother Constant. Giles (Gyles) Sylvester died without heir and following a legal dispute, the property passed to Brinley Sylvester (1694 - 1752), Giles' nephew via his brother Nathaniel II. Brinley Sylvester pursued trading and other maritime merchant activities. He married Mary Burrough and had two daughters, of which Mary Sylvester would marry Thomas Dering and later inherit the estate.

Sir Edmund Andros (December 6, 1637 – February 24, 1714) was an English colonial administrator in North America. He was the governor of the Dominion of New England during most of its three-year existence. Andros served as governor of the provinces of New York, East and West Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland. Before his service in North America, he served as bailiff of Guernsey. Andros' tenure in New England was authoritarian and turbulent, as his views were decidedly pro-Anglican, a negative quality in a region home to many Puritans. His actions in New England resulted in his overthrow during the 1689 Boston revolt. Records documenting Andros' professional life are preserved at the New York Historical Society and the National Archives in Surrey, England.

Series B: Brinley Family
Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group I, Series B: Brinley Family consists of financial records, legal records, and personal and professional correspondence. Genres range from affidavits, deeds of property sales, indentures, inventories, memorandums, and wills, to bills, receipts, and statements of account, to letters, notation, and genealogical research. While this series lightly refers to family conversations about estate settlements, financial transition, and marriage, it is dominated by property management dealings in Rhode Island and records documenting trade in Boston, MA from Francis Brinley, the eldest son of Thomas Brinley, brother of Nathaniel Sylvester's wife Grissell (Grizzell). This series' provenance is unique within the Sylvester Manor Archive as it is largely a research series, full of records purchased by Andrew Fiske and added for relevance. These records are marked with [Fiske Purchase] to indicate this difference. See Record Group V: Fiske Family, Series A: Correspondence and Research for documentation of Fiske's genealogical work behind these purchases.
These materials are arranged chronologically. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If an item is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same series.
Biographical Note
The Brinley Family Papers are preserved at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Special Collections and University Archives in the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, in which the following biographical and historical content is provided:
Englishmen and colonial Americans, Loyalists and Patriots, colonial Canadians and American citizens, the members of the Brinley family were a diverse group of characters, ranging from auditors to officers, businessmen, lawyers, legislators, book-collectors, historians, aristocratic ladies and housewives, devoted mothers, husbands, and fathers. A few were slave-holders. Yet through decades of tumultuous social and political change, the family maintained certain distinctive traits and traditions, clinging most notably to their strong ties to England and to the status quo at home. The Brinleys were wealthy, business-minded members of the colonial elite, profoundly Protestant, and most were highly educated and steeped in knowledge. Many became prominent public figures and many more served their respective nations in uniform.
The roots of the Brinley family extend back to England, where the common ancestor of the North American branch of the family, Thomas Brinley (1591 - 1661), served as Auditor of the Revenue for James I and Charles I. Thomas' daughter Grissell (Grizzell) was married to Nathaniel Sylvester. When Thomas' eldest son Francis (1626 - 1719) emigrated to Newport, Rhode Island in the mid-seventeenth century, the family's wealth and prestige were transplanted with him. This series documents Francis' professional life as a merchant.

Series C: Lloyd Family
Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group I, Series C: Lloyd Family consists of financial records, legal records, and personal and professional correspondence. Genres range from deeds of property sales and memorandums, to bills and bonds, to letters, notation, and research. While this series lightly refers to Horse Neck [Lloyd Neck] and Shelter Island estate settlements, or family conversations about financial transition and marriage, this series is dominated by professional correspondence documenting statements of account and transactions in Boston, MA, Newport, RI and New York, NY.
These materials are arranged chronologically. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If an item is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same series.
Biographical Note
Horse Neck was purchased by Nathaniel Sylvester for his daughter Grissell (Grizzell) (1654-1691), who was engaged to be married to Latimer Sampson, who died before they were wed. Grissell then married Boston merchant James Lloyd (d. 1698), who appears in this series as well as Series A: Sylvester Family. Following a dispute over the ownership of the Horse Neck property purchased by Nathaniel Sylvester and given to Latimer Sampson, it was determined that Sampson's will entitled the property to Grissell and therefore, Lloyd.
The name "Horse Neck" was originally used by Huntington farmers who grazed horses there in the 17th century. Matinecock Native Americans sold Horse Neck (or Caumsett, "place by sharp rock") to English settlers from Oyster Bay in 1654 before James Lloyd acquired the property in 1676. On March 8, 1685, Lieutenant Governor Thomas Dongan granted James Lloyd the royal patent for Horse Neck, formally renaming it the "Manor of Queens Village," annexed to Oyster Bay, Queens County. James Lloyd remained in Boston, renting the property out to tenant farmers, but in 1711 his 24-year-old son, Henry, gave up a shipping business in Newport, Rhode Island, to farm the Manor. His "salt box" home, the Henry Lloyd Manor House, stills survives on the grounds of Caumsett State Historic Park, where it has been restored, and is maintained and interpreted by the Lloyd Harbor Historical Society.
Horse Neck is now called Lloyd Neck, and is part of Lloyd Harbor, a village in Suffolk County, while the Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor is located in the town of Huntington, Long Island, NY. The Papers of the Lloyd Family of the Manor of Queens Village, Lloyd Neck, Long Island, NY in book form (1654-1826) and manuscript form (1654-1822) are preserved at the New York Historical Society.

John Bowne (1627 – 1695) was an English immigrant residing in the Dutch colony of New Netherland, who is honored today as a pioneer in the American struggle for religious liberty. With his wife Hannah Feake (1637 - 1678), great-niece of Governor John Winthrop of Massachusetts, they relocated to Flushing, Long Island in 1661 to practice Quakerism. John Bowne's journal and related papers are preserved at the New York Historical Society.

Biographical Note
Although never owner of Sylvester Manor, Ezra L'Hommedieu (1734 - 1811) was a person of considerable prominence in the history of Long Island and New York State. L'Hommedieu was educated at Yale College and graduated in 1754, after which he began his legal practice in Southold, Long Island. The L'Hommedieu family was forced to relocate to Middletown, CT during the occupation of Long Island by British forces during the American Revolution, and again during the blockade in the War of 1812. L'Hommedieu was married twice, first to Charity Floyd in 1765, and after Charity Floyd's death in 1785, to Mary Catherine Havens in 1803. Ezra and Mary Catherine had one daughter, Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu. Ezra L'Hommedieu was a Patriot, and began public service in 1775 with his election to the Provincial Congress. L'Hommedieu's list of national, state and local political positions is extensive: delegate to the Provincial Congress 1775-1777; member of the New York State Assembly 1777-1783; member of the Continental Congress from 1779-1783 and 1788; member of the New York State Senate from 1784-1792 and again from 1794-1809; member of the state constitutional convention in 1801; Suffolk County Clerk from 1784 to March 1810 and from March 1811 until his death; and Regent of the University of the State of New York 1787-1811. L'Hommedieu was also granted land patents to extensive holdings in the area of the Twenty Townships, a large tract of land purchased from the Oneida Native Americans in 1788 in what is now Central New York. L'Hommedieu also held lands near Plattsburg, NY and Sandwich, MA, the latter stemming from the Bourn family's property. These items document the surveying, sale and leasing of these lands.

Biographical and Historical Note
The Gardiners of Shelter Island were descendents of Lion Gardiner, an early English settler and soldier in the New World. In 1639, Lion Gardiner purchased property from the Montaukett Native Americans after his support of the tribe during the Pequot War. With a grant from Charles I, Gardiner procured what became the first colonial English settlement in present-day New York state. What would become Gardiners Island in East Hampton, Suffolk County, was originally in its own jurisdiction affiliated with neither New York nor New England. In 1648, a royal British charter recognized the island as a wholly contained colony, independent of both New York and Connecticut. It was not until the American Revolution was the property declared under New York and East Hampton authority. Gardiners Island has been privately owned for over three hundred years by Lion Gardiner's descendants, and is the only real estate still intact as part of an original royal grant from the English Crown. This record group features the life and work of Samuel Smith Gardiner and his wife Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu Gardiner.

Biographical Note
Son of Captain Abraham Gardiner (1763 - 1796) and Phebe Dayton, Samuel Smith Gardiner (1789 - 1859) was a member of the prominent and wealthy Gardiner family, who traced their ancestry to early settler Lion Gardiner. Samuel Smith Gardiner was educated at Williams College in Massachusetts, managed the Shelter Island estate, and practiced law in Suffolk County and larger New York. Gardiner was one of the secretaries of the NY State Constitutional Convention of 1821, and a member of the NY State Legislature from 1823-1824. Gardiner wed Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu on August 7, 1823. Debt forced the Dering Family to place the Sylvester Manor estate at auction and Samuel Smith Gardiner purchased the manor house and 578 acres for $10,400. Samuel Smith Gardiner and Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu Gardiner's three daughters Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner, Phoebe Dayton Gardiner, and Frances Eliza Gardiner would later inherit Samuel's estate. After Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu Gardiner passed away on January 28, 1838, Samuel Smith Gardiner married Susan F. Mott in the mid-1840s, the daughter of Henry Franklin and the widow of William W. Mott. Samuel Smith Gardiner passed away on March 21, 1859.
Samuel Smith Gardiner business management records in the form of accounts, bills, deeds, estate documents, and statements are included in the Horsford Family Papers (1681-1954) at the Rensselaer Institute Archives and Special Collections in Troy, NY.

John Tyler (March 29, 1790 – January 18, 1862) was the tenth President of the United States (1841–1845). He was elected vice president on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison, and became president after his running mate's death in April 1841. Harrison's death made Tyler the first vice president to succeed to the presidency without being elected to the office. The personal papers of the Tyler Family can be found at the Special Collections Research Center at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA, while the executive papers of John Tyler while he was Governor of Virginia can be found at the Library of Virginia in Richmond, VA.

Julia Gardiner Tyler (May 17, 1820 – July 10, 1889) was the second wife of John Tyler, the tenth President of the United States, and served as First Lady of the United States from June 26, 1844 to March 4, 1845. Julia Gardiner Tyler was born in 1820 on Gardiner's Island off the eastern tip of Long Island, New York, one of the largest privately owned islands in the United States. She was the daughter of David Gardiner, a prominent landowner and New York State Senator from 1824 - 1828, and his wife Juliana (née McLachlan). Julia was raised in the New York town of East Hampton as well as in the small hamlet of Bay Shore, Long Island; Bay Shore was called Penataquit until 1868, and even earlier, Awixa. Manuscripts documenting Julia Gardiner Tyler's life are preserved at the Earl Gregg Swem Library at the College of William and Mary, the East Hampton Library, the Library of Congress, the Virginia Historical Society, and the Yale University Library.

Series B: Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu Gardiner
Scope and Contents
Record Group III, Series B pertains to Mary Catherine L'Hommedieu Gardiner's personal life in the form of correspondence, financial records, and juvenilia. Genres range from letters and gifts, meeting minutes and receipts, original and collected poetry, to penmanship practice materials, and testimonies of religious faith. This subseries is dominated by items that capture Gardiner's conversations with family members, friends, and school acquaintances in reference to courtship, education, family, faith, marriage, and travel. These exchanges also include those between Mary and Samuel during the events leading up to their marriage. Mary's childhood penmanship practice materials also speak to the writing traditions of the time period.
These materials are lightly arranged alphabetically by surname of the individual in contact with Gardiner or the conversation subject. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If an item is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same series.

Biographical Note
American chemist Eben Norton Horsford (July 27, 1818 - January 1, 1893), was the only son of missionary and politician Jerediah Horsford and his wife Maria Charity Horsford of Moscow, NY. In addition to Eben, Jerediah and Maria Charity produced four daughters: Maria Horsford Byam, Julia Horsford Norton, Eliza Horsford Tryon, and Laura Horsford.
Eben earned a civil engineering degree from RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) in 1838 and contributed to the Geographical Survey of New York under the supervision of geologist and RPI paleontologist James Hall. Between 1840 - 1844, Eben lectured at Delaware's Newark College, in addition to teaching mathematics and natural sciences at the Albany Female Academy, where he would meet sisters Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner and Phoebe Dayton Gardiner as students. Between 1844 - 1847, Eben studied with chemist Justus Freiherr von Liebig in Giessen, Germany and returned to the U.S. to marry Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner and serve as the Rumford Professor and Lecturer on the Application of Science to the Useful Arts at Harvard University, where he would steadily publish and teach until 1863.
Mary gave birth to four daughters: Mary Leila (Lilian) in 1848, Mary Katherine (Kate) in 1850, Gertrude Hubbard in 1852, and Mary Gardiner (Mamie) in 1855. Mary died a few months after the birth of Mamie. Eben wed Mary's sister Phoebe in 1857, and the couple produced one daughter, Cornelia Conway Felton, in 1860.
In 1858, Eben founded Rumford Chemical Works with George Francis Wilson, who successfully managed his chemical developments and inventions. Eben's most successful development was the modern formula for baking powder, but he also produced acid phosphate, anti-chlorine, yeast powder, and developed a process for condensing milk. During the American Civil War, Eben devised an "improved army ration" of dehydrated meat; in addition, Rumford generated methods of attaching armor plating to warships, manufacturing fire-proof safes, and water analyses for municipalities in the Boston area.
In 1873, Eben was selected as a member of the U.S. Scientific Commission for the Vienna Exposition. Eben also strongly supported education and professional options for women while becoming Wellesley College's Board of Visitors President in 1877 and honorary class member in 1886. It was also during this time that Eben began researching and publishing work about Viking settlements in America, namely the "lost city of Norumbega," which is believed to be present Weston, MA, in which he had a monument erected in 1889.
The Horsfords led an active social life centered on their Cambridge and Harvard communities. They acquainted with several members of the "Boston Brahmin," in addition to prominent figures of the Cambridge intelligentsia and literary community, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Henry Longfellow, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Helen Hunt Jackson to name a few.
Subseries 1: Correspondence
Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's personal and professional life in the form of communication with his family, friends, and vast business network. With efforts to separate social and professional content, Subseries 1 is organized by four different subsubseries that feature over 4,243 (10,542 pages) assorted forms of communication that detail distinctive professional projects and or subjects, but there remains a significant amount of overlap. Genres range from announcements, artwork and illustrations, calling / visiting cards, ephemera and printed material in the form of advertisements, clippings, and circulars, collected and original poetry, drafts and reproductions of conversations in the form of handwritten transcriptions and photocopies, financial and legal records, invitations, letters, photographic prints, postcards, research notation, and telegrams.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.

Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, subsubseries a: Academic and Family pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's personal and professional life in the form of communication records with his family, friends, and vast business network. While the isolation of subsubseries a: Academic and Family is an effort to separate specific social and commercial content from the rest of Series A, this subsubseries features a significant amount of overlap. Although this portion of Eben's correspondence houses personal communication with his immediate and extended family and or concern of private business, such as Cambridge and Shelter Island property management, these materials also illuminate Eben's childhood, education, and professional ascension in chemistry, food science, and local history.
Academic and Family features over 3,325 letters (8,383 pages) dominated by conversations with local and international academics, professionals across fields of industry, and the general public concerning Eben's public and scholastic circulation of his work with David Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary and the history of Viking settlements in America. Genres include announcements, artwork and illustrations, calling / visiting cards, drafts of unsent correspondence, financial and legal records, invitations, letters and reproductions of letters in the form of photocopies and transcriptions, photographic prints, postcards, printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, notices, and telegrams. Eben conversed with renown American and international activists, archaeologists, administrators, architects, astronomers, bibliographers, botanists, chemists, economists, editors, educators, historians, indexers, librarians, ministers, philosophers, physicists, poets, politicians, social reformers, social scientists, theologians, and writers. In addition, this unique set of correspondence demonstrates the Horsford family's active social life among their Cambridge and Harvard communities, several members of the "Boston Brahmin," and prominent figures of the New England literary intelligentsia.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.

James Curtis Booth (July 28, 1810 – March 21, 1888) was an American chemist who was the melter and refiner at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia for many years. Booth was born in Philadelphia, was educated at the Hartsville Seminary, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1829, and later studied at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York from 1831 to 1832. He visited Germany between 1833 and 1835, spending the year of 1833 in Professor Friedrich Wöhler's private laboratory in Hesse-Cassel, and then spending nine months in the laboratory of Professor Gustav Magnus in Berlin. He opened a chemistry laboratory in Pennsylvania in 1836 for teaching purposes, and when the demand for teaching and chemical analysis increased, he was assisted by Dr. Martin Hans Boyè until 1845. From 1848, Thomas H. Garrett was his associate, and in 1881 the firm became "Booth, Garrett and Blair." The James Curtis Booth Papers (1785-1944) are preserved at the Othmer Library of Chemical History, Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, PA.

Amos Eaton (May 17, 1776 – 10 May 10, 1842) was an American botanist, geologist, and educator. Eaton is considered the founder of the modern scientific prospectus in education, which was a radical departure from the American liberal arts tradition of classics, religion, lecture, and recitation. In 1824, Eaton co-founded the Rensselaer School with Stephen van Rensselaer III. Eaton's botany teaching laboratory in the 1820s was the first of its kind in the country; his popular lectures and writings inspired numerous thinkers, in particular women, whom he encouraged to attend his public talks on experimental philosophy. The Amos Eaton Papers (1797-1846) are preserved at the New York State Library Manuscripts and Special Collections in Albany, NY.

August Wilhelm von Hofmann (April 8, 1818 – May 5, 1892) was a German chemist. After studying under Justus von Liebig at the University of Giessen, Hofmann became the first director of the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1845. In 1865, Hofmann returned to Germany to accept a position at the University of Berlin as a teacher and researcher; he also co-founded the German Chemical Society (Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft) in 1867. In both London and Berlin, Hofmann recreated the style of laboratory instruction established by Liebig at Giessen, fostering a school of chemistry focused on experimental organic chemistry and its industrial applications. Hofmann archival material is preserved at the Imperial College Archives in London, England.

Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, subsubseries b, pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's professional life in the form of communication with Wellesley administrators, faculty, staff, and students, in addition to American academics and professionals from across the nation. Subsubseries b features documentation in the form of calling / visiting cards, drafts of unsent correspondence, handwritten flyers, invitations, letters and reproductions of letters in the form of photocopies and transcriptions, postcards, printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, notices, and statements for circulation among the general public, and telegrams.
Subsubseries b features over 109 letters (179 pages) from Wellesley founders Henry Fowle Durant and Pauline Adeline Fowle Durant. Records preserved in this subsubseries trace Horsford's work as the Wellesley board of visitors president in which he conversed with American activists, architects, astronomers, bibliographers, botanists, economists, editors, educators, historians, indexers, librarians, ministers, philosophers, physicists, social reformers, social scientists, theologians, and writers. In addition, this unique set of correspondence demonstrates Horsford's friendships and professional relationships with first wave feminists, pioneers of higher education for women, and women's suffrage supporters including, but not limited to, Ada Howard, Alice Elvira Freeman Palmer, Alice Upton Pearmain, Helen Barrett Montgomery, Katharine Lee Bates (author of the words to "America the Beautiful"), Katharine Coman, Leila S. McKee, Sarah Frances Whiting, Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, and Susan Hallowell.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.
Historical Note
Wellesley College is a private women's liberal-arts college in the town of Wellesley, west of Boston, MA, and member of the original Seven Sisters Colleges. Henry Fowle Durant and his wife Pauline Adeline Fowle Durant founded Wellesley in 1870. Massachusetts Governor William Claflin signed Wellesley's charter on March 17, 1870 as Wellesley Female Seminary; the Massachusetts legislature approved the institution's name change to Wellesley College on March 7, 1873, although it did not open its doors to students until September 8, 1875.
Like the Durants, Eben Norton Horsford was an advocate and supporter of educational opportunities for women. Horsford became the president of the Wellesley College board of visitors, and frequently donated funding for institutional maintenance and supplies. Wellesley dedicated Norumbega Hall in Horsford's honor in 1886, and was celebrated by the John Greenleaf Whittier poem of the same name.
Notable Wellesley graduates include astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (Class of 1884), author Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (Pseudonym Carolyn Keene, Class of 1914), the former first lady of China, Soong May-ling (Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Class of 1917), U.S. Secretaries of State Madeleine Korbel Albright (Class of 1959) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (Class of 1969), screenwriter Nora Ephron (Class of 1962), journalist Diane Sawyer (Class of 1967), author Alexandra Curry (Class of 1979), and astronaut Pamela Melroy (Class of 1983).
This historical note was written with the help of the finding aids of the Wellesley College Archives.

Historical Note
Eben Norton Horsford and George Francis Wilson formed Rumford Chemical Works in Seekonk, MA (later East Providence, RI) in 1858. Horsford took the namesake from his Rumford Professorship and Lectureship position at Harvard University, which was named after Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford (1753-1814), a British physicist, inventor, and social reformer. Rumford Chemical Works included a merger with George Francis Wilson & Company (originally called Wilson, Duggan, & Company), which was founded in 1854. Company production included the manufacture of all-purpose baking powder, other phosphates and special chemicals, patent medicines, and fertilizer. Horsford's development of baking powder was designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2006.
Rumford Chemical Works was sold to Heyden Corporation in 1948 while the rights to baking powder were sold to a private owners under the name "Rumford Company." Essex Chemical Corporation purchased Rumford Chemical Works in 1956; while retaining headquarters in Rumford (East Providence), the company maintains offices around the world. The East Providence headquarters grounds were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
This historical note was written with the help of the finding aids of "Records pertaining to the Apparatus of the Rumford Professorship and Lectureship on the Application of Science to the Useful Arts" (1835-1836, 1851) at Harvard University, in addition to the Horsford Family Papers (1681-1954) at the Rensselaer Institution Archives and Special Collections.

The Mary Fiske Stoughton House is a National Historic Landmark house at 90 Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Henry Hobson Richardson designed the house in 1882 in what is now called the "Shingle Style," with a minimum of ornament and shingles stretching over the building's irregular volumes like a skin. The house drew immediate notice in the architectural community, and was a significant influence in the growth in popularity of the Shingle style in the late 19th century. Richardson's masterful use of space in its design also foreshadowed the work of major 20th century architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

Biographical Note
"Lilian," (Mary Leila Horsford Farlow, September 18, 1848 - August 16, 1927) was the eldest daughter of Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner Horsford and Eben Norton Horsford. Lilian travelled often with her father, accompanying him to Europe in 1873 and 1880, and on a trip to the western United States in 1880 - 1881. Lilian was affiliated with both Radcliffe and Wellesley Colleges, and active in campaigning for educational opportunities for women. Lilian resided in the Horsford family home in Cambridge, MA, until her marriage to Dr. William Gilson Farlow on December 10, 1900.
William Gilson Farlow (December 17, 1844 - June 3, 1919) was an American botanist. Born in Boston, MA, and educated at Harvard (A.B. 1866; M.D. 1870), and after several years of European study, Farlow became an adjunct professor of botany in 1874 and professor of cryptogamic botany in 1879. Farlow corresponded with Caroline Bingham and Jacob Georg Agardh to collaborate in the identification and classification of species of algae previously unknown to science. In 1899, Farlow became the president of the American Society of Naturalists; in 1904, president of the National Academy of Sciences; in 1905, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and in 1911, president of the Botanical Society of America. Farlow received honorary degrees from Harvard University, the University of Glasgow (LL.D 1901), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Subseries 1: Correspondence
Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series D, Subseries 1, pertains to Lilian's personal and public life in the form of communication with her family, friends, and local professionals. Record types range from contact in the form of announcements, greeting cards, invitations, illustrations, letters, notation, original and collected poetry, photographs, postcards, and receipts; and printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, and pamphlets.
Series D, Subseries 1, is dominated by records that capture Lilian's personal life through conversations with her family and friends. Subjects range from current community events, genealogical and history inquiries, private family business and Shelter Island estate management, public and shared social experiences, to local and international travel. This subseries features twenty-six letters (129 pages) from Lilian's sister Kate, Mary Katherine Horsford, while Lilian visited both Gardiners Island and Shelter Island, and while Kate traveled throughout the American midwest and northeast.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.

William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist. Son of Henry James, Sr., and brother to diarist Alice James, and novelist Henry James, William was trained as a physician, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States. Williams was one of the leading thinkers of the late 19th century and is often referred to as the "Father of American psychology." The William James Papers (1842-1910) are preserved at the Houghton Library, Harvard College Library, in Cambridge, MA.

Biographical Note
Andrew Fiske (February 21, 1909 - August 31, 1992) was born in Cambridge, MA to Augustus Henry Fiske and Esther Bennett. Andrew was a thirteenth generation descendant of Nathaniel Sylvester and inherited Shelter Island upon the passing of his father in 1949. Andrew was a Harvard College and Business School graduate, and managed the Groton, CT Electric Boat Company during World War II. Fiske was the Long Island representative for Boston brokerage firm H.C. Wainwright, and was a founder, trustee and president of the Suffolk County Library. Fiske served for more than forty years on the Shelter Island Public Library board, and served for more than twenty years on the Shelter Island school board, the Eastern Long Island Hospital board, and with the Suffolk County Historical Society.
Alice Hench Fiske (November 9, 1917 - April 17, 2006) was born in Youngstown, OH to Laverne Willis Hench and Florence Ebersbach Hench. Alice graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1939 and married Andrew Fiske in 1952. Alice helped restore Sylvester Manor and its gardens to their 19th century glory. As the founder of the Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, she sponsored digs at Sylvester Manor. Alice was also a supporter of the Shelter Island Library, Shelter Island Historical Society, and the Shelter Island Garden Club.
