Scope and Contents
Series II. Abijah Northey (1774-1853) Papers includes shipping, business, and personal papers. The shipping papers, comprised of correspondence, contain few documents relating to the trading activities of Abijah's vessels. Of note are Abijah's letters (1805) to a British aide-de-camp appealing for safe passage to St. Helena for the ship Argo, of which Abijah was master. Abijah's business papers include his deed for a Salem distillery (1819) and two account books (1796-1803; 1816-1823) for china, pottery, and glass bought at auction or shipped from Britain.
