Series III. Jacob Crowninshield (1770-1808) Papers covers the years 1785-1835. The family correspondence received by Jacob consists of letters from his father and brothers on business affairs and letters from his wife Sally on personal and local news after 1804. Non-family correspondence includes material related to local politics. However, there are a few items from nationally prominent individuals such as William Eustis, Albert Gallatin, and Joseph Story (see Appendix II).
