Photograph of Henry Wheatland, undated
Scope and Contents
Series VII. Related Family Papers consists of papers relating directly or indirectly to the Nichols family. Folders of papers and correspondence either mention the Nichols family, or were interspersed among said papers. These papers include a map to the "Iron Factory Pond." The Danvers Iron Works, which existed from 1796-1838, did have a pond on the property, which was located near the Waters Bridge. Today the Waters Bridge is the Danversport Bridge. A sketchbook belonging to Andrew Nichols' (born 1837) daughter, Mary Eliot Nichols is located in this series. Also include are a wallet and a box decorated with a picture of four ladies. The box originally held a photograph labeled as "Henry Wheatland, Pres. of the Essex Institute." The photograph has been removed and placed in a separate folder. Other papers not relating directly to the Nichols family include poems written by Samuel Sewall about his dog, Pug, and a receipt passing Ruth Cheever's estate to Israel Cheever.
