Abstract:

The Meshech Weare Family Papers, 1652-1919, are composed of correspondence, legal documents, financial papers, and other miscellaneous documents reflecting the life of Meshech Weare, his service during the American Revolution and as first president of New Hampshire, and his family.

Scope and Content:

The Meshech Weare Family Papers, 1652-1919, are composed of correspondence, legal documents, financial papers, and other miscellaneous documents reflecting the life of Meshech Weare, his service during the American Revolution and as first president of New Hampshire, and his family. The collection is divided into three series: Series I. Weare Family Papers, 1713-1821, Series II. Case of the sale of the Weare Papers, 1847-1919, and Series III. Weare Family Papers, 1652-1862. The first two series are from accession M 1917.003 and a number of smaller accessions. The third series is entirely from accession M 1983.058 (M). Both the first and third series contain materials from the life of Meshech Weare and his family and are separated in order to retain the manner in which the materials were accessioned. The second series contains information on the case of the sale of the Weare Papers which occurred in 1915 and concerned whether some of the Weare Papers were public, belonging to the state, or private and therefore, able to be auctioned.

The Meshech Weare Family Papers, 1652-1919, are divided into three series: Series I. Weare Family Papers, 1713-1821; Series II. Case of the sale of the Weare Papers, 1847-1919; Series III. Weare Family Papers, 1652-1862
