Hatfield and Hibernia Park records, 1743-1975 (inclusive)

Extent:: 7.0 linear feet

The Hatfield and Hibernia Park records document the families, businesses, and property transfers of the families living in the Hatfield and Hibernia homes from the 1700s to the 1900s. Researchers interested in land and property records, iron works, 19th century general stores, and rest homes will find this collection to be extremely valuable.
