1 1825 Letter from Lydia Spicer to her sister Joanna Fish - Pages 1 thru 4
When Lydia was about 26 she wrote from Stonington, CT to her sister in Brooklyn, OH. She updates her sister on the well-being of many relatives and friends, the state of the religious community, the robbery of a relative, and laments being stuck in Connecticut because her husband loves the sea.

This is a transcription. The image of the actual document can be seen by looking at Lydia Stanton's individual record.

This is an example of simple addressing was in the early 19th century! Nothing more than the name (Ebenezer Fish), city, and state. Oh, and the county thrown in there just in case.

3 1831 Letter from Hannah (Stanton) Stanton of Groton, Connecticut to her sister, Joanna (Stanton) Fish of Brooklyn, Ohio.
Transcription of an 1831 letter sent to Joanna (Stanton) Fish from her sister, Hannah (Stanton) Stanton. We've tried to retain the original spelling, but there was no punctuation, so that has been added to aid the modern reader. Another convention of the time was to capitalize all words that began a new line, but not necessarily words that began a new sentence.

9 CENSUS - 1850 - Ohio, Cuyahoga, Brooklyn
This partial transcription covers roughly 8 pages of the census. The focus is on the various related families that migrated here from Connecticut and settled on the west side of the Cuyahoga River. I have also included many notes that help explain some of the inter-relationships between those that appear on the pages. This type of thing isn't always very obvious to the casual researcher.
