Overview and metadata sections

Corson, Theodore.

From the documents in the collection, Theodore Corson appears to have been a farmer living in the Cape May Court House area of New Jersey in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

The collection consists of nineteenth-century correspondence and documents of members of the Corson family, particularly Theodore Corson, of Cape May Court House, New Jersey. The documents include receipts and bills for groceries, lumber, cloth, clothing, farm equipment, freight bills of the West Jersey Railroad Company, and magazine subscriptions.

Arranged by accession number.

The collection was formed as a result of a Departmental practice of combining into one collection material of various accessions relating to a particular person, family, or subject.
