| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Severance Family Papers, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Severance Family | | | | Dates: | 1826-1989 | | | | Abstract: | The Severance family was a prominent Cleveland, Ohio, family known for its philanthropic activities. Solon Severance, a Cleveland banker, was the son of Solomon Severance and Mary Helen Long, and a brother of Louis Severance. He was also a descendent of John Walworth, an early settler of Cleveland who was a civil engineer and was appointed in 1806 as the Custom Collector for the District of Erie. Solon's wife, Emily Allen, was the daughter of Dr. Dudley Allen, and the sister of prominent surgeon Dudley P. Allen. Solon and Emily's daughter, Julia Severance Millikin, was the wife of Benjamin Millikin, a noted Cleveland opthalmologist. Julia's children included Helen Millikin Nash and Severance, Marianne, Dudley, and Louise Millikin. The collection consists of historical and biographical data on various family members; diaries and travel journals, especially of Julia Severance Millikin and her mother, Emily Allen Severance; correspondence, especially between Julia and her mother, Emily Severance; wills, genealogical notes, deeds, notices of events, and newspaper clippings. Among the correspondence are numerous letters from Julia's friends from Wells College. The collection also includes a certificate appointing John Walworth collector for the district of Erie, 1806, and a journal kept by Dudley Allen detailing early medical practice in the area. There is also material on author Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) and his voyage around the world, which included Solon and Emily Severance, and became the basis of his novel "The Innocents Abroad". | | | | Call #: | MS 4558 | | | | Extent: | 4.00 linear feet (4 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Severance family. | Allen family. | Long family. | Millikin family. | Nash family. | Severance, Solon Lewis, 1834-1915. | Allen, Peter, 1787-1864. | Allen, Dudley Peter, 1852-1915 | Long, David, 1787-1851. | Long, Juliana Walworth, 1794-1866. | Millikin, Benjamin L., 1851-1916. | Severance, Mary Helen, 1816-1902. | Severance, John Long, 1863-1936. | Walworth, John, 1765-1812. | Millikin, Julia Severance, 1862-1950. | Allen, Dudley, 1814-1898. | Nash, Helen Millikin, 1893-1990. | Prentiss, Elisabeth Severance, 1865-1944. | Severance, Emily Allen, 1840-1921. | Twain, Mark, 1835-1910 | Wells College. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women college graduates -- Correspondence. | Medicine -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Voyages and travels. | Voyages around the world. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- 19th century. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Walworth Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Walworth Family | | | | Dates: | 1774-1884 | | | | Abstract: | The Walworth family was one of the most influential families in the early history of the Western Reserve of Ohio. John Walworth and his family settled in Painesville, Ohio, in 1800. While there, he served as a deputy postmaster, justice of the peace, and judge. In 1806, the family moved to Cleveland to facilitate John Walworth's posts as Inspector of the Revenue for the Port of Cuyahoga and Collector for the District of Erie. He also served as a judge in the Geauga County Court of Common Pleas and as postmaster of Cleveland. His son, Ashbel W. Walworth, assumed many of his father's business responsibilities and official posts, including postmaster and collector of customs at Cleveland. He was treasurer for the Corporation of the Village of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga County Civilization Society. His son, John Walworth, continued his business interests in Cleveland. Several brothers of Ashbel W. Walworth, including J.P. (John Periander) Walworth, moved to the southern United States and established a branch of the family along the southern Mississippi River. The collection consists of correspondence, financial records, legal records, official documents, architectural drawings and various ephemera. Contains detailed correspondence concerning land transactions for the Connecticut Land Company; records of the post offices of Painesville, Ohio, and Cleveland, Ohio; records of the Port of Cuyahoga; records of the Circuit Court of Geauga County, Ohio, Corporation of the Village of Cleveland, and the Cleveland School House; records of the Cleveland Branch of the Erie Bank of Pennsylvania; land valuations and tax lists for Cleveland and the Fire Lands; and legal records of Litchfield County, Connecticut, and New London County, Connecticut. Correspondents include William Eldredge, Frederick Miner, Gideon Granger, Calvin Pease, Samuel Huntington, David Abbott, Nathaniel Ledyard, Lewis Cass, Oliver Phelps, Charles P. Barnum, Lewis Morgan, and Oliver Forward. A calendar of correspondents is included in the register to the collection. Insight into the social relations of the Walworths and their relations, including the Dunlap, Beattie, Strickland, Keyes, Wren, and Avery families, is seen through the correspondence between the women in the Walworth family. | | | | Call #: | MS 1901 | | | | Extent: | 1.00 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Walworth family. | Walworth, John, 1765-1812. | Walworth, Ashbel W., 1790-1844. | Connecticut Land Company. | Erie Bank of Pennsylvania. | Postal service -- Ohio -- Painesville. | Postal service -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Customs administration -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Land value taxation -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Frontier and pioneer life -- Ohio -- Western Reserve. | Lighthouses -- Ohio -- Fairport. | Court records -- Ohio -- Geauga County. | Court records -- Connecticut -- Litchfield County. | Court records -- Connecticut -- New London County. | Western Reserve (Ohio) -- History -- Sources. | Painesville (Ohio) -- History -- Sources. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources.
