Description

The collection consists of the personal and business records of the Van Wyck family, primarily the papers of Abraham Van Wyck. The bulk of the collection is various legal documentation and business records. This includes contracts, receipts, court judgments, agreements, transactions, ledgers & accounts. Also included are material from the administration of the Pine Grove Wollen Manufacturing Company. This includes stock distributions and some meeting minutes. Also included is material concerning the settling of estates, such as Benjamin Hutchins. The material in the collection provides significant, yet haphazard records of Abraham Van Wyck and family. The arraignment was maintained as it was found, yet different accessions were combined. The provenance of these series is unknown. The material may have been acquired at a later date, or material may have been separated from the original collection and re-accessioned around 2008.
