Records of the Jessup family include primarily: journals, ledgers, and memoranda books on the legal practice of William Jessup and his son William Hunting Jessup of Montrose. In addition to the Jessup firm records, there are account books of several of the clients including: Drinker estate, James C. Biddle and Henry Drinker, executors, 1834-1865; Charles Fraser, M.D., 1825-1838; Arthur King Harroun, D.D.S., 1884-1888; George C. Pride, general merchant of Haverford, 1848-1857; Joseph Richards, lawyer, 1835-1854; and Robert H. Rose estate, 1836-1858. As agriculturists and trustees of large tracts of land in Susquehanna County, several of their records concern lumbering and farming, including William H. Jessup's diary of farm work, 1871-1896. |
