1853 Letter to Famous Hartford CT Lawyer on Governor Jonathan Law Genealogy For Sale

Extensive reply letter to Nathaniel Goodwin about his explanation of Jonathan Law’s records. Includes quoted entry from descendants of Law.

This item came from a cache of letters to/from Nathaniel GOODWIN (1782-1855), who was a genealogist, Probate Judge, and Treasurer of Hartford CT. He also published "Descendants of Thomas Olcott" (1845), "The Foote Family" (1849), and posthumously, “Genealogical Notes of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts," with a memoir (1856).

All ephemera shows wear commensurate to age, including, potentially, stains, worn corners, dings, fraying, scents, stray marks, rips, and other imperfections, etc. You get what you see.

Decent condition for age, but does have a definite scent.
