Rev. Gideon Hawley Journal and letterbook, circa 1753-1795

 Item — Box: 26

Scope and Contents

NOTE : THIS IS A REPRODUCTION - ORIGINAL IS HELD AT Congregational Library and Archives, BOSTON, MA

Rev. Hawley's second volume contains copies of correspondence referred to in vol. 1, financial records, and a continuation of his travelogue from "the Country of the Six Nations". His movements were often hampered by early battles in the French and Indian War, which he also describes.

The first few pages in this book contain a later 19th-century letter to a genealogist with a brief Hawley family history, and the 1875 inscription from A. C. Thompson when he donated the journals to the Congregational Library.

Includes handwritten notations most probably made by Newcomb.
