James Hamilton (1752-1819) Collection, 1733-1899 59 es, 26 vols., 19 FF, 28 lin. feet Abstract James Hamilton, an Irishman born around 1752, settled in Carlisle, Pennsylvania sometime before the Revolutionary War. He inherited the law firm of Robert Magaw, a Carlisle resident and the defender of Fort Washington during the war against the British. Hamilton served Cumberland County as a lawyer for many years and was soon elevated to the position of judge. In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson named him the deputyattorney general of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Four years later, Hamilton became president judge of the Ninth Judicial District. He died in 1819, passing his legacy and interest in the law on to his son, James Hamilton Jr. The younger James Hamilton was born in 1793, spent his youth in schools near Philadelphia, and graduated from Dickinson College in 1812. He passed the bar in 1816 and inherited his father s firm upon his death in 1819. He spent the next two decades practicing law, but soon his interest in education and science eclipsed his law practice. He helped establish the public school system in Carlisle and served as head of the School Board of Directors. Like his father before him, he also served on the board of trustees for Dickinson College. James Hamilton Jr. died in 1873. The James Hamilton Collection consists mainly of legal documents from the Hamiltons law practice and the general correspondence of their acquaintances. The correspondence offers insight not only into the legal practices of an eighteenth and nineteenth century Pennsylvania town, but it also gives an occasional glimpse into the personal lives of both Hamiltons. The papers also trace the life of the younger Hamilton, as a young man, a college student at Dickinson College, a lawyer in Carlisle, a supporter and pioneer of public education and lover of science. The correspondents in this collection include clients of the firm, Revolutionary War figures such as Anthony Wayne, prominent Americans like Benjamin Chew and relatives of the Hamiltons. Besides the general correspondence and legal documents, this collection includes various other papers and volumes, such as court dockets, receipt books, military papers, customs books from Philadelphia, papers relating to schools in Carlisle and North Carolina, and other miscellaneous papers and volumes. The 1

James Hamilton Collection Background note James Hamilton (1752-1819) was born in Ireland and immigrated to Carlisle, Pennsylvania sometime before the Revolutionary War. Although little is known about his parents, James did have at least one brother, Thomas (d. 1829), and two sisters, Nancy and another whose name is unknown. Hamilton s unidentified sister died around the year 1793, probably as a result of the yellow fever, which also threatened his sister Nancy, who eventually recovered. Upon his arrival in Carlisle, James Hamilton (d. 1819) joined the law firm of Robert Magaw. Magaw (1758-1790) was born in Ireland and not much is known about his family except that he had two brothers, William and Samuel, who also resided in America. What is clear is that by 1770, Magaw had risen to prominence among the citizenry of Carlisle and brought James Hamilton into the law firm that he had established. The majority of their legal cases involved debt claims, estate settlements, and indentures. Having followed his brother to America, Thomas Hamilton lived briefly in Carlisle becoming involved in James s land surveying efforts, but soon became a minister and moved to nearby Greensburg, Pennsylvania around 1788. By the middle of the 1770s, Robert Magaw became increasingly involved in matters other than his law practice, largely due to the impending war with England. First he was named Carlisle s representative at the Provincial Convention in 1774 and only two years later he joined other American troops in the war with Britain. Magaw soon enlisted, was named a major of the First Regiment of troops from Pennsylvania and then in 1776 he was promoted to colonel in charge of the Fifth Pennsylvania Infantry. His company was stationed at Fort Washington and given a crucial task in August 1776 they were to cover the retreat of General George Washington s troops from New York. Washington suffered many casualties in New York as he and his troops were constantly retreating from the British forces. The tenacity of the British soldiers proved too much for not only Washington, but also for Magaw and his troops, who were forced to defend Fort Washington against the British in November 1776. Magaw and his troops stood their ground as General Howe and his soldiers surrounded the fort. However, the British contingent proved too large for Magaw to fight with his defenses spread thinly around the perimeter of the fort. He surrendered his unit, along with Fort Washington and its munitions and was taken as a prisoner of war on November 16, 1776. While he was a prisoner of war in New York, Magaw was able to move about quite freely and eventually met and married Marritje Van Brunt in April 1779. Upon his release from New York in October 1780, Magaw returned to Carlisle with his new bride and resumed his law practice with James Hamilton. Magaw served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and became a trustee of Dickinson College before his death on January 7, 1788. He left behind Marritje and their two children, Robert and Elizabeth. Upon the death of his mentor, James Hamilton (d. 1819) assumed control of Robert Magaw s law practice and continued the work they had been doing for almost two decades. Hamilton became a prominent figure in Carlisle and was involved in many activities including those of local Dickinson College, of which Hamilton was a trustee, and the Presbyterian Church of Carlisle. He had also begun to acquire much land and The 2

James Hamilton Collection was a speculator in Pennsylvania as well as Ohio and Kentucky. Hamilton also excelled in his professional life and received multiple promotions at the turn of the century. In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson named Hamilton the deputy-attorney general of the Western District of Pennsylvania. It was not long before Hamilton received another promotion and was named president judge of the Ninth Judicial District in 1806. While in Carlisle, James married Sarah Thompson (1770-1842), daughter of Reverend William Thompson and niece of General Thompson of Revolutionary war fame. James and Sarah had at least three children, James Hamilton (1793-1873), Susan Hamilton Thorn, and Mary Hamilton (1796-1831). The elder Hamilton continued to oversee cases not only in Carlisle s Cumberland County, but also in nearby adjoining counties such as Bedford and Westmoreland. In the meantime, he made sure that his son James received a good education in the hopes of leaving him in control of the law firm when he passed away. As a boy, the younger James attended Lower Dublin Academy near Philadelphia until about 1808 and moved back to Carlisle to attend college. He was a student at Dickinson College, graduating in the class of 1812. He proved to have many interests besides law, especially in the field of science, which stayed with him throughout his life. However, he followed in his father s footsteps and passed the bar in 1816. The cases continued to deal with matters of landholdings and moneys owed to citizens of Carlisle and other nearby towns. Shortly after James Hamilton (d. 1873) began his foray into the law profession, his father passed away. The elder James Hamilton died in 1819 in Carlisle, the place he had called home for nearly fifty years, leaving behind his wife, Sarah, and his children James, Susan, and Mary. Young James upheld his father s legacy and became involved in the administration of Dickinson College. While practicing law, Hamilton (d. 1873) served as a trustee of Dickinson College from 1824 to 1833 and this subsequently fostered his interest in education. He helped to establish a public school system in Carlisle and served as a member of the Carlisle Board of School Directors from 1836 until his death. In addition to his involvement in educational activities, Hamilton (d. 1873) also remained engaged with the affairs of the Second Presbyterian Church in Carlisle. In the 1860s, he donated $11,000 to build a new church, was twice elected to the position of elder of the church, and oversaw the Sabbath school. Along with his interest in education and the Presbyterian Church, Hamilton still pursued his scientific endeavors and corresponded frequently with academics, discussing the theories which he had developed. As a result, Hamilton began to practice law less and less as these other interests occupied most of his time. Hamilton died on January 23, 1873 never having married, but his legacy survives in the establishment of the Hamilton Library Association in Carlisle. In his will, he expressed a desire to preserve the history of Cumberland County and, upon his death, he bequeathed two thousand dollars and a lot in downtown Carlisle to achieve his goal. Scope & content The materials in this collection date from 1733 to 1899, beginning with Robert Magaw s early law practice and the elder Hamilton s time in Carlisle and ending two decades after the death of the younger Hamilton. Thus, the collection traces both Hamiltons lives in The 3

James Hamilton Collection Carlisle and in James Hamilton Jr. s case, it offers insight into his time as a student, his involvement in the area of law and, later, his interest in education. The collection contains fifty-nine es, 19 flat file s, and 26 volumes and has been divided into nine series: General correspondence and legal documents (1733-1899), James Hamilton (d. 1819) (1750-1819), James Hamilton (d. 1873) (1774-1867), Robert Magaw (1752-1815), Military papers (1763-1795), Promissory notes and vouchers (1748-1836), Joseph A. Murray correspondence and general papers (1831-1885), John C. Honeyman papers (1857-1899), and Miscellaneous papers and volumes (1760-1885). There are few gaps in the collection and the 46 es of General correspondence and legal documents hold the richest records. The General Correspondence and legal documents (1733-1899) contain various types of information that can be grouped into three areas of interest. First, there are legal papers from the firm dating from Robert Magaw and Samuel Postlethwaite s tenure in the mideighteenth century to the time when James Hamilton (d. 1873) was in control of the firm during the first half of the nineteenth century. These papers include dockets, indentures and account information. The next group of papers represented in this series document the military involvement of Magaw and Postlethwaite during the Revolutionary War. There are letters concerning Robert Magaw s stint as a prisoner of war in New York during the Revolutionary War ( 25 29), letters regarding military supplies, and letters from General Washington ( 44 18) and Anthony Wayne ( 44 28). Lastly, there are papers that document the personal activities of Magaw, the Hamiltons, and various other Carlisle citizens. Papers chronicling the establishment of the First Presbyterian Church of Carlisle ( 8), personal letters written by Robert Magaw and his family members ( 28), letters written by other well-known citizens including Priscilla Denny Boyd of Carlisle ( 12 36), and the religious papers of clergyman Thomas Hamilton, James Hamilton s (d. 1819) brother represent a small sample of the letters and documents relating to the personal lives of Robert Magaw, James Hamilton, his son James Hamilton, and various citizens of Cumberland County. This series has been arranged alphabetically according either to author of letter or subject of the legal document. The correspondence in this series is strictly incoming correspondence. The second series consists of the papers of and concerning James Hamilton (d. 1819) and covers a period from 1750 to 1819. This series has been divided into three subseries correspondence, legal and business papers, and docket and receipt books. The papers and volumes in this series span Hamilton s entire American experience and relate to his legal dealings as both a judge and lawyer and offer insight into his land speculation activities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky. The legal papers in this series are rich in estate settlements, financial transactions, debt collections, bonds, bills of sale, and indentures, which also constitute a large part of series one. Of note in series two is the correspondence subseries, which contains many letters written between James Hamilton and well-known political figures of the time including congressmen and senators. Mixed into the dockets and receipts books are papers detailing claims made against James Hamilton and the subsequent investigations into the allegations made by John Sterett, a defendant in a case that came before Judge Hamilton. The 4

James Hamilton Collection Much like the previous series, the third series deals with the papers of the younger James Hamilton (1793-1873). These papers cover almost a 100-year (1774-1867) and have been divided into four subseries correspondence, miscellaneous notes, legal and business papers, and Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Board of School Directors. His correspondence covers a range of topics including activities surrounding the vast amounts of land he inherited from his father, the politics of the early nineteenth century, and church and temperance matters. There are four s that have been placed in a second subseries miscellaneous notes, because they consist of political notes and other unrelated materials. The legal and business papers demonstrate the younger Hamilton dealt with legal matters similar to those that his father did debts, estates settlements, and financial transactions. The last subseries, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Board of School Directors, has items relating to the administration, curriculum, salaries, and other miscellaneous matters as they relate to the public school system in Carlisle. These papers depict the operations of a public school system in nineteenth century America. The items in the Robert Magaw (1752-1815) series have been divided into three subseries military papers, personal and legal papers, and docket and receipt books. The military papers include much information about soldiers payrolls and types of and costs of different supplies used in the Revolutionary War. Magaw s personal and legal papers mostly deal in financial and estate matters. The docket and receipt books offer legal information for various counties in Western Pennsylvania. Of note is an expense book (1786-1787) that includes brief notes and records kept during the Revolutionary War in Harlem Heights, New York. The items in this series span from 1752 to 1815, with estate papers dating after the time of his death. The series of military papers covers a period from 1763 to 1795 and is comprised of two subseries. The first contains all of the papers relating to Samuel Postlethwaite and the second has the wartime papers of John Davis. The papers of these two army captains offer much information about the purchasing and ordering of supplies during the Revolutionary War. Series six, promissory notes and vouchers (1748-1836), consists of a substantial amount of financial records and receipts for goods purchased including horses, wagons and other miscellaneous items. The Joseph A. Murray correspondence and general papers span more than fifty years (1831-1885) and offer a glimpse into the lives of some of Carlisle s leading citizens. His correspondence contains mostly letters to his parents, siblings and other relatives, which included members of the Denny family of Carlisle. There is also much information regarding the Western University of Pennsylvania (later, the University of Pittsburgh) and Western Pennsylvania Theological Seminary, Murray having been a student at both institutions. It is important to note that this series has no documents that relate directly to James Hamilton (d. 1819) or his son James Hamilton (d. 1873). The John C. Honeyman papers (1857-1899) are comprised mostly of John C. Honeyman s manuscripts and the compositions of his female students at the Slover Hall Institute in The 5

James Hamilton Collection North Carolina. Much like the Murray papers, this series does not include any papers directly connected to either James Hamilton (d. 1819) or his son. Miscellaneous volumes and papers have been grouped into the last series. They span a period of over 100 years beginning in 1760 and ending in 1885. There are memoranda, account books, a European travel diary and two s of miscellaneous printed materials. Folder 6 contains papers relating to the Slover Hall Institute (see series 8) and of note in 7 is a newspaper account of the funeral of Elisha Kent Kane, a prominent Philadelphian. There are several customs books and other miscellaneous material pertaining to the port of Philadelphia and containing in records from the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The rest of the volumes are A.A. McKoy s account books, ledgers from various Pennsylvania counties and one belonging to Samuel Postlethwaite, a journal and daybook from Carlisle, volumes belonging to the collector of customs in Philadelphia, and an execution docket from Lancaster county.

James Hamilton Collection Series IX Miscellaneous papers and volumes, 1760-1885 10 s, 8 volumes Series description Series 1. General Correspondence and legal documents, 1733-1899 (Boxes 1-46, FF 1-18, Volumes 1-8) This series has been arranged alphabetically according to the author of the letter or document or according to the subject of the legal transaction. It consists of forty-six es, eighteen flat file s, and eight volumes. Each in this series represents a different person or organization and the papers within the often include both correspondence and legal papers. Thus, the two types of documents, although slightly different, have been interspersed throughout the series. The correspondence and related papers, which are comprised mostly of incoming letters, focus on four main areas military matters with regards to the Revolutionary War, Presbyterian Church matters in Carlisle, business dealings, and personal matters and how they relate to the Hamiltons and their associates. While the majority of the letters are addressed to the elder James Hamilton, some had been sent to other people, including his son James Hamilton (d. 1873), Robert Magaw, Samuel Postlethwaite and several other accquaintences. The legal documents are products of Robert Magaw and the Hamiltons legal practice and the elder Hamilton s time as a judge. The correspondence and papers that are associated with military matters form a substantial portion of this series and include many well-know Revolutionary War officers. Some of the key figures featured in this series are Captain John Davis, Colonel James Wilson, and William Thompson among many others. Much of the correspondence was directed to Captain Samuel Postlethwaite, who was involved in the manufacture and ordering of supplies for troops in Carlisle, and General Robert Magaw, who was in command of the Fifth Battalion of Pennsylvania Regulars stationed at Fort Washington in the beginning of the war. Magaw, who was under the command of Washington, often received indirect orders concerning his post. For example, among several of Washington s papers are two letters he wrote to Thompson and one other unidentified person, in which he discussed the stationing of troops and the need for supplies. Washington wrote to an unidentified recipient that Magaw should hold the post at Mount Washington as longs as a good officer ought to do. Washington also wrote that the troops in his area needed flour and that the surplus of Generals Mifflin and Reed should be sent to him at White Plains. This is an important document, because several weeks after it was written, Magaw and his troops surrendered Fort Washington to the British and were taken as prisoners of war. A month later, Washington wrote to General Thompson requesting a list of these prisoners in order to facilitate an exchange with General Howe, which ultimately would not happen until the end of the war ( 44 18). The 7

James Hamilton Collection There are many other Revolutionary War documents in this series. One recorded Magaw s formation of the Carlisle Associators, which was a military group created to learn military exercises for the defence of our just rights & liberties. This document is dated 1775 and represents early efforts made by the colonists to maintain their freedom. There is also a record of William Thompson s appointment to brigadier general by order of John Hancock on March 1, 1776 ( 42 32). And on March 13, 1781, Thompson wrote to Magaw about General Cornwallis s imminent surrender to the colonial troops ( 42 34). This letter was written two days before the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, at which Cornwallis suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to Delaware. Other military documents of note are a series of cases brought before John Agnew involving British troops. The cases reveal that there were many British deserters traveling about the area. In one instance, a drunken British soldier was placed in the courthouse after being found homeless in the center of town. And sometimes, the British soldiers would leave their posts to join General Washington ( 1 8). There are also several volumes, such as a British Orderly book, which recorded the movement of British troops during their occupation of New York, specifically from December 9, 1776 to February 1779 (volume 6). Another item, Francis Goodwin s Revolutionary War diary, chronicled different military events as they took place in 1776 mainly in New England and New York ( 17 14). Another subject of the general correspondence is religious matters in Carlisle and nearby towns. The Hamilton family was members of the Presbyterian Church and very much involved in church activities and administration. James Hamilton s (d. 1819) brother Thomas even became a clergyman soon after joining him in America. There are several letters and documents concerning Thomas Hamilton s nineteenth century religious involvement. He was an esteemed member of the Kittanning congregation and one of the documents shows that he was chosen by the other members to be a representative for the congregation at the Presbytery meeting for Westmoreland County ( 23 63). This also contains information regarding the desire of the Presbyterians in Kittanning to build a church or house for the public worship of God, instead of sharing the court house with other denominations. The other series of church papers, besides those relating to Thomas Hamilton, can be found in eight. This holds an extensive amount of information about several churches in Carlisle, which counted several Hamiltons among its members. There are resolutions of the sessions of the Presbyterian Church of Carlisle, which recorded the devotion of the church to upholding the commandments and the purity of the members of the congregation ( 8 18). One fairly interesting contains a document titled Thomas Hamilton s dedication to God, which may refer to an aspect of conversion or ordainment ( 23 63). His miscellaneous sermons are also included in this series. Of particular note are two sermons, which touched on the relationship between the colonies and Europe. One was about the rule of the King of England and another about the need for peace between England, France, and Spain. These sermons, which were written The 8

James Hamilton Collection between 1763 and 1771, contained many themes that characterized America in the years preceding the Revolution ( 38 31). Several other s reveal that the younger James Hamilton was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle and served as the secretary of the church s board of trustees during the 1830s. Altar and building sketches and records of purchases for objects such as candelabras suggest that the church building itself was fairly new. There are also many papers that chronicle the actions of the church congregation and the board of trustees, which was approved by the congregation ( 8 s 20-23). Another has the floor plan for St. John s Protestant Episcopal Church as it appeared in 1824 ( 8 19). There is a note suggesting that the original structure was no longer standing accompanied by unanswered questions concerning the original building on the back of the sketch (e.g. In what year was the church taken down? ) With the sketch there is a subscription and donation list for the purchase of hangings for the pulpit. Sarah Hamilton is among the names of subscribers and was perhaps the wife of the elder James Hamilton. This series also includes the papers of the Moravian Church of Bethlehem ( 31). The papers consist of journal entries and the personal faith accounts of congregants, meeting minutes, and information about churches in the Caribbean written in German. The business dealings of James Hamilton (d. 1819) and his son are also topics of interest in correspondence and numerous documents. There are letters and other records, such as land grants, that chronicle their dealings as land speculators and landlords in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky. Father and son corresponded frequently with different men charged with finding tenants for their land holdings, such as Adam Hoops and Benjamin Williams. Other items of note that relate to this correspondence are the land grants, land surveys and sketches, and deeds that record the activities of the Hamiltons. The final category for the Hamiltons correspondence deals with their personal lives, relationships and other miscellaneous matters in Carlisle and the surrounding area. The collection contains a series of letters between members of the Hamilton family and these letters touched on everyday happenings and the health of the individuals. For example, there are letters written by Sarah Hamilton, James Hamilton s (d. 1819) wife, to her son in which she recounted the declining health of her daughter Mary. She wrote from Savannah on May 12, 1831 that Mary was weak and fatigued and that she was trying her best to make her daughter s last days as comfortable as possible( 18 37). Another item relating to the health and well-being of the Hamilton family is a letter written by Morgan Rhees to James Hamilton, in which he enclosed a sample of medicinal bark for Hamilton s use ( 36 42). Currently, the bark has the consistency of a powder and has been placed within a protective sleeve. Hamilton often received letters from associates that discussed the political climate of the country. He received letters from politicians such as Andrew Gregg, The 9

James Hamilton Collection Pennsylvania senator and congressman, with whom he discusses President Jefferson s administration of the federal budget and the Burr conspiracy. Robert Whitehill, a member of the Pennsylvania legislature and United States Congress, described the state of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and foreign affairs. Various other letters deal with the ratification of the Constitution, the War of 1812, the Louisiana Purchase, and other political happenings. The ratification of the Constitution was of particular interest, because it was being met with great opposition from Hamilton s own county, and many politicians found this troubling, as is evident in their letters. Letters about Dickinson College and other educational interests also comprise the personal correspondence of the Hamilton father and son and their acquaintances. There are Benjamin Rush s letter indicating donations he made for the construction of a building on Dickinson s campus, a document titled World History written by a student of Dickinson Francis Pringle, letters written between Alexander McGill, a professor at Princeton s Theological Seminary, and the younger Hamilton, who donated money to students of the seminary for tuition and board ( 27 37), and letters from Doctor Benjamin Silliman with issues of the American Journal of Science and Arts highlighting the young Hamilton s interest in science ( 39 28), among numerous other communications. The following are miscellaneous correspondents of note in this series: Edward Shippen, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; Timothy Pickering, former United States secretary of state; Benjamin Rush, a Philadelphia doctor; Tench Coxe, politician and merchant; John Cadwalader; Robert Morris, key figure in the Revolutionary War; and Jared Ingersoll, a Philadelphia lawyer. The second type of papers, which probably represents the largest portion of this first series, are legal documents and correspondence, usually relating to the practice of Robert Magaw and the Hamiltons, and also to the courts which the elder Hamilton (d. 1819) presided over later in life. The most prevalent official legal documents are indentures, bonds, bills of sale, receipts, deeds and wills. The indentures, which embody the majority of the legal papers, are little papers that record money or goods owed and a deadline for the payment of the debt. The receipts often recognized the payment of a debt or the result of a court decision, in which a person was required to offer punitive damages. The subject of each legal document is also the title of the in which it is found. Thomas Duncan; John Brown, Hamilton s agent in Philadelphia; Hays and Powers, a Baltimore law firm; Edward Burd and George Campbell represent a few of the many people with whom Hamilton corresponded. Hamilton corresponded with Duncan about court cases in Carlisle for a period of thirty years. Series 2. James Hamilton (1752-1819), 1750-1819 (Boxes 46-49, Volumes 7-15) a. Correspondence, 1760-1819. The James Hamilton (d. 1819) correspondence consists mostly of incoming letters and they have been arranged by date. The correspondents are mainly closer acquaintances of James Hamilton (d. 1819) and range from family members to The 10

James Hamilton Collection people with whom he did business. Several letters reveal information about his daughter Susan and his son James (d. 1873). An administrator at Susan s school informed James (d. 1819) in 1812 that she received a fine education and had developed an excellent character during her time at school. James, his son, wrote to him when he was away on business, updating him on the affairs of the family and Carlisle. In one letter, he told his father about the death of a family friend and assured him that Tom has not been intoxicated. There are also a few letters concerning the schooling of the younger James Hamilton as well. Besides letters from and regarding his children, James Hamilton (d. 1819) received many dinner invitations from colleagues and friends. These people also often wrote Hamilton asking for business advice. For example, William Magaw wrote asking for advice on behalf of his friend, who was purchasing a tract of 500 acres of land and had concerns about its true value ( 47 1). Hamilton also received letters relating to court cases and legal matters (see series 1). While most of this subseries is comprised of incoming letters, several letters written by Hamilton (d. 1819) can be found intermingled with the incoming correspondence of his close friends and family. The majority of his outgoing letters were sent to his son James, who at the time was attending Lower Dublin Academy in Holmesburg. The topics of these letters include the health of James s (d. 1873) mother, the reception of his allowance, and his activities at school. b. Legal and business papers, 1750-1819 James Hamilton s (d. 1819) legal and business papers are comprised mostly of receipts and statements of accounts regarding payments made by both clients and people involved in debt cases. There are also many bonds, pleas, depositions, and account information (see series 1). Some of these papers predate Hamilton s involvement with the firm, because the clients often had accounts and cases during Robert Magaw s tenure that carried over to the time when Hamilton assumed control of the practice. The legal and business papers represent a period of over fifty years. c. Docket and receipt books, 1769-1830 The docket and receipt books hold records of the cases that took place in many of the different counties in western Pennsylvania. There are several s of miscellaneous loose dockets and then there are several bound volumes pertaining to specific counties, such as Cumberland, York, and Westmoreland. Volume 11 relates to a specific county, but the name on the book s cover is illegible. The receipt book and two volumes that record fees contain the financial information of many of cases, which predate Hamilton s time as a judge. James Hamilton s bank book and precedent book have also been included in this subseries. The dockets chronicle Hamilton s time as a lawyer and later as a judge and then there is one docket and a of printed materials that contain information obtained after the death of Hamilton in 1819. The 11

James Hamilton Collection Of note is a series of papers, which document charges brought against James Hamilton. In 49 s 8-10, there is documentation regarding charges that John Sterett brought against James Hamilton between 1808 and 1810, who at this time was a judge. Sterett appeared before Hamilton as a defendant in a case and claimed that he was treated unfairly and that Hamilton exhibited arbitrary conduct and abused his position of power. In this papers, Sterett and, later, John McGinnis question the validity and fairness of decisions handed down by Judge Hamilton. After looking at the subsequent correspondence, it seems as though nothing came of these accusations. Series 3. James Hamilton (1793-1873), 1774-1867 (Boxes 49-50) a. Correspondence, 1821-1844 The letters of the younger James Hamilton contain many different topics besides legal matters, which occupied the majority of his father s correspondence. Hamilton s (d. 1873) letters span more than forty years and shed light on both his legal practice and also his land matters. There are many letters written from Jacob Clute, Luke Tiernan, and Peter McCarty discussing the everyday problems of a landholder the search for good tenants and encounters with squatters. There are a series of letters written by Elizabeth Chambers, her grandmother Harriet Duncan, Ann Hays, Sophia Lackson and numerous other women on topics ranging from Greek history to the Crusades. Harriet Chambers comments that her granddaughter s seems to have had great advancement in Ancient history. ( 49 15) The women are writing from Carlisle and York and it seems that these letters serve as learning exercises and may relate to Hamilton s growing interest in education in Carlisle. Ellen Lyon s aunt wrote to her in Carlisle in 1838 stressing the importance of writing the composition in the education of a young lady ( 49 17). Another correspondent of note in this series is Cornelia Van Rensselaer, daughter of New Jersey governor William Paterson and wife of Stephen Van Rensselaer III. She addressed her friend s letters care of James Hamilton during the 1830s and she wrote from New Jersey and Paris. Female students in Carlisle are not the only correspondents in this series. Eliza Denny Pettit and Mary E. Bull corresponded with Hamilton from Louisville and commented on presidential affairs, town gossip, books and many other things. They asked Hamilton about the different citizens of Carlisle and inquired about the reading parties that were being held by the girls of Carlisle. Their letters offer a glimpse at nineteenth century American society as seen through the eyes of a Kentucky woman. b. Miscellaneous notes, 1812-1867 There are four s that have been placed in the miscellaneous subseries, since they relate neither to the correspondence nor to the court papers and legal and business papers that follow. One contains information regarding a land sale and related papers. There is also a of French recipes, an essay titled On the Art of Printing, and a chapter from Sentimental Journey, and eighteenth century work by Laurence Stern. The 12

James Hamilton Collection There is a group of political papers that date from 1839 to 1859 and discuss the state of affairs within both the Democratic Party and the Whig parties. The addresses and letters in these s emphasize the strong division that existed between the two political parties especially with regards to the Bank and the extent of the executive power held by the President. The last has miscellaneous receipts for the year 1818 and 1819. c. Legal and business papers, 1768-1839 Like his father before him, James Hamilton s (d. 1873) legal practice dealt mainly with estate settlements, debt claims, and financial transactions. There is also documentation showing that clients often gave Hamilton power of attorney over their affairs. Several s predate James Hamilton s (d. 1873) birth and this is due to the inclusion of some of his father s cases that carried over into the younger Hamilton s tenure and also the organizing of his father s estate matters. The estate papers of James Hamilton (d. 1819) can be found in three different s in this collection and they show that the younger James Hamilton inherited the bulk of his father s estate ( 50 s 13-15). The last has receipts for land purchases in Crawford County from the years 1818 and 1819. d. Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Board of School Directors, 1827-1863 There are nine s relating to the activities of the Board of School Directors in Carlisle. After the death of his father, James Hamilton (d. 1873) began to show an interest in public education and he spent much of his life on the board of school directors, which counted him as member beginning in 1836 until the time of his death in 1873 a span of almost forty years. There are three s comprised of the correspondence among board members beginning in 1848 and it is unclear when the correspondence ends, because there is a of undated letters. The last dated letter was written in 1860. Three s offer much insight into the operations of public school system in America during the mid- nineteenth century an annual district report, essays written about school systems and the state of education and the school curriculum from 1829. Also included in this group is the exam of Anna M. Eby, a student, and a of miscellaneous printed materials. Series 4. Robert Magaw, 1752-1815 (Boxes 51-52, Volume 16) a. Military papers, 1767-1788 Robert Magaw commanded the Fifth Pennsylvania Infantry during the Revolutionary War and was a prisoner of war from the fall of 1776 until 1781. His military papers are comprised of four s that document soldiers payrolls, receipts for the purchase of supplies, and rosters of the men in his command, otherwise known as muster rolls. The military papers span over twenty years and include the years leading up to the Revolutionary War and also several years after its end. The 13

James Hamilton Collection b. Personal and legal papers, 1756-1815 The personal papers mostly deal with the settling of Robert Magaw s debt and estate matters by his executors. The records reveal much about Magaw s land holdings, which were often sold by his executors. There are also papers in this series that relate to his law practice. For similar papers see series 2. b. and 3.c. c. Dockets and receipt books, 1752-1789 This subseries includes both volumes and manuscripts pertaining to court cases and payments. There are five docket books dating from 1766 to 1788, which list court cases according to annual terms. Two of these books list the cases that occurred in counties west of Magaw s Cumberland county: Bedford and Westmoreland counties. The two memoranda books are small notebooks that were used informally to record aspects of different court cases. One contains papers titled The Court of General Quarter Sessions. There are also an account book, expense book, and small receipt books, one belonging to David Magaw, that contain the expenses, both personal and business of Robert Magaw and David Magaw. These financial records also include information about Robert Magaw s debts. Series 5. Military papers, 1763-1795 (Boxes 52-53, 17-18 Volumes) a. Samuel Postlethwaite, 1773-1790 Samuel Postlethwaite, a contemporary of Robert Magaw who was also involved in his law firm, served as a captain during the Revolutionary War (see series one). His military papers suggest that he was stationed in Carlisle, working at the Iron Works, which probably refers to the Carlisle Iron Works in Boiling Springs. Before the war, iron furnaces were manufactured on this sight and later the colonial army used it to manufacture ammunitions during the Revolutionary War. Postlethwaite not only supplied the colonial troops with wagons, but also with other basic needs such as candles and flour. Thus, the letters and receipts record the orders placed by the troops in the Pennsylvania area. b. John Davis, 1763-1781 John Davis was an officer of the Pennsylvania Line during the war with Britain (see series one) and, upon looking at his materials, was most likely in charge of supplying the troops in western Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. This would have put him in contact with Samuel Postlethwaite at the Iron Works. Davis s military materials are comprised of seven s of miscellaneous Revolutionary War papers and receipt books. The war papers are similar to those of Samuel Postlethwaite (see 5.a.). The receipt books list both his and Postlethwaite s purchases and sales of dry goods and supplies during the war. One contains Lieutenant Samuel McFerran s receipt book and it is unclear as to why it as been placed with Davis s papers. Series 6. Promissory notes and vouchers, 1748-1836 (Boxes 53-55) Besides the first series, this series represents a substantial part of the collection. The promissory notes, which guarantee payments of debts by a specified date, and the vouchers, which were for both debts and goods, span almost one hundred years. Because of the time period they cover, these papers offer insight into Magaw s and The 14

James Hamilton Collection the Hamiltons cases that dealt with debt payments. Wagons, horses, hay and food are just some examples of the items documented in the series of vouchers. The small notes and vouchers have been arranged by date and placed in separate s. Series 7. Joseph A. Murray correspondence and general papers, 1831-1885 (Boxes 56-58, FF 19) The papers in this series do not connect directly with either of the Hamiltons or their legal practice. Although it is unclear why they are in this collection, there are two connections between the Hamiltons and Joseph A. Murray. Murray s grandfather, William Denny, was an accquaintance of the elder James Hamilton according to some of the law firm s records. Also notable is that Murray son-in-law, Charles Francis Himes, served as president of the Hamilton Library Association, which was established with funds left by the younger James Hamilton. The papers represent the correspondence and miscellaneous papers of another Carlisle resident, Joseph A. Murray. Murray was born on October 2, 1815, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to George Murray and Mary Denny, who was a member of one of the founding families of Carlisle. He was the second youngest of George and Mary s children Priscilla Boyd, William Boyd, George, Nancy Denny, and Charles Gregg. As a youth, he attended school at Killbuck Hall in Pittsburgh and a few years later resided with his relative Harmar Denny while enrolled as a student at the Western University of Pennsylvania. Upon his graduation in 1837, Murray enrolled in Dickinson College and then matriculated to the Western Theological Seminary. After finishing his studies in 1840, he moved around as a pastor and finally settled in Dillsburg, where he became the pastor of the Presbyterian Church. He married Ann Blair, had one daughter Mary Elizabeth, and eventually moved his family back to Carlisle. Here he became the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle. Murray soon retired due to illness and spent his later years writing local histories. He was a member of the and American Philosophical Society. Murray also aided in the establishment of the Hamilton Library upon the death of James Hamilton (d. 1873), who left money for the establishment of a library in order to preserve the history of his hometown. Joseph A. Murray s correspondence begins with his days as student at the Western University of Pennsylvania and later at the Western Theological Seminary. He wrote almost on a weekly basis to his brothers, his parents, his aunt Priscilla Denny Boyd, and relative Harmar Denny. The letters were mostly filled with his daily observations, updates on his health, the activities of his classmates and relatives. Of note is a correspondence recounting Murray s altercation with the president of the Western University of Pennsylvania, Reverend Gilbert Morgan. Tension arose after Murray, then the editor of his college s newspaper, printed an anonymous article and subsequently criticized the author s grammar. Morgan was the author of the piece and, angered by his humiliation, tried to have Murray withdraw from the school. In his letters, Murray claimed to have been unaware of the true author of the composition, but Morgan did not seem convinced. However, Morgan was The 15

James Hamilton Collection unsuccessful in attempts to expel Murray ( 56 s 12-13). Of note in the s of correspondence is 58 2, which has letters written by Mary Louisa Honeyman to her mother, Elizabeth Nevius Honeyman, and classmates as she attended Ophleton Seminary in the 1850s. The correspondence also sheds light on nineteenth century society and politics of Pittsburgh and, on a larger scale, the United States. He wrote about the city s attitude toward abolitionism, Andrew Jackson, a new theater being opened and other miscellaneous occurrences. With regards to the national stage, Murray s letters showcase his opposition to ardent abolitionism, his support of temperance, and misgivings concerning the annexation of Texas and the growing tensions between the North and the South. Other topics of interest in these letters are anti- Catholicism, Freemasonry, and the activities of well-known politicians of the time, such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. There are four s that do not have correspondence. One contains the transcripts of a debate between Charles B. Scully and Joseph A. Murray, when they were classmates. Miscellaneous notes, expense information, and the last will and testament of Murray s father George are the final three s in this series ( 58 s 17-19). Series 8. John C. Honeyman papers, 1857-1899 (Boxes 58-59) John C. Honeyman was born December 15, 1836 in New Jersey. He was the son of John Honeyman and Elizabeth Nevius Honeyman (see series 7) and the second oldest of four children Mary Louisa, Peter Nevius, and Abraham Van Doren. The first three s in the series are manuscripts penned by Honeyman on various topics. The last three s consist of papers relating to his female students at the Slover Hall Institute, which was located in North Carolina. There are grammar and vocabulary exercises composed by his students Mary and Harriet Slover and Annie Mitchell in these s. Another has requests written by many parents, asking that their daughters be excused from either classes or exams ( 59 3). Series 9. Miscellaneous papers and volumes, 1760-1885 (Box 58, 19-26 Volumes) This last series has various papers and volumes ranging from financial records to a personal diary to printed materials and newspaper articles. With regards to the volumes in this series, there are two belonging to the collector of customs at the port of Philadelphia. These two volumes contain receipts and letters, mainly from the United States Treasury Department, discussing matters of imports, export, taxes, and duties on different shipments. Volume 19 holds the records during Peter Muhlenberg s tenure as collector of customs and then volume 20 from 1844 was recorded during Calvin Blythe s tenure. There are also several s that hold related papers. Cargo manifests from 1783 to 1803, invoices and receipts from imports from June 1795, and the correspondence of collectors of customs, Sharp Delany and George Latimer can be found in 59 s 8, 9, and 10. The 16

James Hamilton Collection Several different types of account books can also be found in this series. They include Samuel Postlethwaite s daybook and ledger that chronicled the purchase and sale of tobacco, guns, wheat, and many other goods, A.A. McKoy s account book listing tuition payments, and a ledger, journal, daybook, and memoranda, each of which remain unidentified. There is also one court volume the execution docket of Lancaster County High Sheriff Frederick Stone dating from 1770 to 1773. It was used to record the county s court cases and to the right of the cases, monetary costs (e.g. debts ). Slash marks indicate payments and in the margin is the name of the clerk, who was most likely John Agnew because his notes had been inserted into the volume. A European travel diary written between 1863 and 1864 appears in this series as well. It is unclear who penned this volume, which offers extensive detail about the cuisine and tourism of nineteenth-century Europe, namely Italy, France, Germany and England. There are also two s of mostly unrelated printed materials. One contains printed examinations from the Slover Hall Institute (see series 8) and the other has various other items. A few papers are circulars from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, a temperance society, and other groups. There is a broadside listing the resolutions of the House of Representatives from 1852 and 1862. Of note is a newspaper article recounting the funeral procession of Elisha Kent Kane, a prominent Philadelphia doctor, who traveled extensively throughout Africa and Asia while serving in the navy as physician. The article chronicles his education, stint in the navy, and his sailing expeditions throughout the Arctic. He died February 16, 1857. The 17
