Abstract:

The William R. Barricklo Collection consists of American Revolution era documents and letters and Barricklo family genealogy materials, all belonging to the American lawyer and collector William R. (William Reed) Barricklo (1857-1933).

William R. Barricklo was an American lawyer and collector of Revolution-era memorabilia and documents.

Consists primarily of American Revolution era documents and letters, including letters (1778-1780) to Moore Furman, deputy quartermaster general of New Jersey (1776-1792); a letter (1776) concerning the pardon of Richard Stockton; and several letters (1776) by William Livingston, governor of New Jersey. Also present in the collection are documents such as promissory notes issued by the State of New Jersey to army enlistees, land petitions, and general returns of stores and provisions issued to the army. In addition, there are notes and correspondence concerning the genealogies of the Barricklo, De Klyn, FitzRandolph, and Lalor families; as well as a small selection of miscellanea.
