1823281351823. A three-page manuscript letter from Ephraim Smooth to Bloomfield McIlvaine exhorting him to follow the tenants of meditation and balance inherent in the Quaker tradition. <br /> <br /> A dance was held at the home of Obediah Sears and Ephraim Smooth writes at length about Quaker tradition of contemplation rejecting "ill-judged indulgence of riot & gaiety" refering to Bloomfield's education he graduated from the College of New Jersey later Princeton in 1812 and his power to influence the youths and finally offers a curative silent meditation with Simon Pure Obediah Broadbrim and himself to "cheerfully join in the dance of the spirit". Dated 5th day 7 month 1823 5 July 1823. Reference is made to the flute and fiddle made in Edenton North Carolina we assume; and addressed to "Bottany Bay" which we assume is the one on Edisto Island South Carolina. <br /> <br /> Bloomfield McIlvaine 22 Feb 1797- 18 Aug 1826 died at 30 in New Jersey. He married Henrietta Maria Banker in June 1824. His father was Joseph McIlvaine who died a couple hours after his son aged 58. Joseph was a US senator for New Jersey.

1825BOOKS013045IEast Windsor NJ 1825. Original manuscript. Very Good. Two documents 6pp; few spots of foxing. Dated March 15 1825. 12.5" x 7.75" Michael Lykes and his wife Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Morford deceased appoint East Windsor attorney Elijah Davis. The lawyer is to represent them in selling certain lands in Middlesex County to which Elizabeth has claim as the only daughter and heir of Thomas Morford who inherited the land from his grandfather William Updike of Middlesex County by terms of a will dated November 22 1778. On the back of this first document one Andrew Rowan attests that Elizabeth came before him on August 15 1824 at which time he examined her without her husband and she agreed to give power-of-attorney to Davis. The second document dated at Lamberton on 21 June 1825 comprises several testimonials that Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed who "for many years lived together and cohabited as man and wife." Elizabeth Dye attests that she believes Morford and Reed were legally married. Sarah Reed Lucy's mother states that Lucy was married to Morford at age 19 without Sarah's consent and that they had a daughter named Elizabeth. Inserted in this document is the testimonial of John Smith of Lambertville NJ who states that he officiated at the marriage of Elizabeth and Michael a few years earlier believing that she was the daughter of Thomas Morford who was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Story wife of Joseph Story of Story Farm. Also signing this document are Robert and Ann Taylor who attest to the lineage and Abraham Creque who was in the house when Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed lived as man and wife. unknown

183823980No place but Burlington Iowa 1838. Pen ink and watercolour map of Cumberland County with the properties of D. Parvin and D. Harris and numerous towns located the demarcation line between marsh and solid ground marked and the routes and names of all the main rivers and creeks shown some roads marked in pencil and the route between Salem Salem Co. and the tip of Cape May marked with a purple dotted line. An attractive map of Cumberland County in southern New Jersey.<br/> <br/>The Parvin property is identified as being on the southern bank of the Cohansey River in Fairfield Township. The Harris property is in adjoining Downe Township. These are the only two individual properties identified on the map suggesting that the map was either compiled for or by a member of the Parvin or Harris family. This map was loosely inserted in an 1838 edition of Bradford's Illustrated Atlas inscribed on the title "Theodore Sutton Parvin Burlington Iowa August 15/ 1838" and an examination of the map of New Jersey in the atlas shows that the Cumberland County area was squared up for enlargement. All of which gives a source and probable author of the map. Parvin has added some names and geographical features in addition to those shown on the Bradford engraved map. Theodore Sutton Parvin was born in Cedarville Cumberland County N. J. on January 15 1817; and died June 28 1901. He graduated at Woodward College Cincinnati in 1836; he studied law; was private secretary of Robert Lucas the first governor of the Iowa Territory and was the first librarian of that territory. Later he was librarian and professor in the Iowa State University; was a founder of the Iowa State Historical Society in 1857 and for the years 1863-65 was its corresponding secretary and editor. He was the founder in 1844 of the Iowa Masonic Library and through his exertions this library has its present building at Cedar Rapids. From its foundation until his death fifty-seven years he was its librarian. Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 1905. vol.X part II p.871. unknown books
