73244An archive of hundreds of letters bills receipts and other legal documents from the family of Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda dating from 1786 to 1880. This branch of the Fonda family traces its roots back to New York in 1651 when Jellis Fonda migrated from the Netherlands with his wife and four children. His grandson Douw Jellis Fonda 1700-1780 is considered the founder of the Dutch village now named Fonda about 30 miles west of Albany. He lived a long and prosperous life as a farmer and merchant but was killed at age 79 during a raid by the British Army aided by the Mohawk Indians.<br/><br/>This collection includes two early hand-drawn property maps of some of the Fonda-owned lands. One of the undated maps completed for John Fonda shows part of Mayfield with lots drawn and numbered. The second map also undated shows acreage for the heirs of A. Fonda except 150 acres sold to John C. Smith and 100 acres sold to David and Samuel Loomis.<br/><br/>The earliest material in this collection is connected to Douw Jellis Fonda's six children and grandchildren following the American Revolution. They were leaders in their community serving as judges state elected officials and military officers. There are five handwritten legal documents signed by various members of the family related to the payment of bonds associated with the appointment of loan officers and treasury officials for Montgomery County between 1786 and 1792. At the conclusion of the war the New York Legislature passed laws placing taxes on land and personal estates of all inhabitants in order to defray war expenses discharge its debts and support the state government.

There are several letters about his stagecoach work including seat reservations purchasing horses schedules and even lost luggage. On January 4 1832 he received a letter about Theophilius Williams' lost trunk. "I understand by a letter from him that he left a description of it at your house offering five dollars to the finder which I will send to you immediately if found together with all accompany expenses incurred in the search and pay your bill for the same whether found or not if you will give your assistance" Levi Williams wrote.<br/><br/>Among the letters is one from Peter's wife Gertrude written to him in 1838 while he was in Rome building a bridge across the Mohawk River.
