Scope and Content:

The Bryant Family Papers, 1827-1894, contain family correspondence and papers, receipts, deeds, miscellaneous papers, diaries, and account books. The diary of Elias A. provides some detail of his time with the 4th New Hampshire Regiment in 1864. Undated material documents his activity teaching penmanship: a list of students interested in taking his class, examples of exercises, recipes for ink, and an advertising card for a teaching method. Sarah’s 1864 diary notes her daily activities, schooling, and letters from her brother Elias. The account books show Elias P.’s work as a farmer and shoemaker. The printed matter contains music such as "Trumpet Signals" and the miscellaneous papers consist of memoranda, recipes, a record of roads built, and school programs. Financial records related to non-Bryant family members consist of land records and receipts. There are a few photographs in this collection, including Addie Bryant and Otis Woodard.
