Ney was considered one of the greatest generals produced by the French Revolution. He displayed diplomatic talents of a high order under the guidance and instructions from Charles M.

The first is a small photograph of King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales. The second is a small photograph of Mrs. Tom Thumb. The album consists of forty 40 pages evenly split between pages that hold a single large photograph and pages that can hold four smaller photographs. Of the seventy-seven 77 photographs contained in the album seventeen 17 are large photographs and sixty 60 are quarter-page photographs. Most pages are completely filled.

188647661Brooklyn NY; Jamaica L.I. 1886. Full calf with brown-stamped borders to upper and lower boards gilt-stamped red calf label to backstrip. Some minor rubbing to extremities but otherwise VG. Approx. 126 ll. of ms receipts many tipped in. Oblong format 5- " x 7 ¼". <br/><br/>Cornelius Duryea and his seven daughters are part of the sixth generation of the Kissam family. The Kissams were early settlers on the North Side of Long Island and are fortunate to have had a detailed genealogy produced by Edward Kissam in 1892 which dates back to 1644. The family history is preserved by the Huntington Historical Society and many historic sites in Long Island can be traced back to the family. This receipt book chronicles 25 years of the proceeds of the estate of the late Cornelius Duryea after his death at age 74 in 1861. Most of his substantial estate was left to his wife and daughters. It is possible based on these documents that Edward Kissam’s genealogy mistakenly names a Wm. Wheeler as the husband of Josephine Duryea who’s married name here appears to be Woolley KISSAM 107. Signatures and receipts attributed to the following parties: Josephine H Woolley Caroline H Cornell daughter Phebe K Leech daughter Sarah Anne Van Duyn Sarah A Thorne daughter Abraham. P. Leech executor Seth Chapman also executor Thomas Bradlee Samuel Smith Ezra W. Conklin Deborah P.
