Scope & content

The collection includes correspondence and papers created by and related to the ancestors of donor John Grenville Winslow, beginning with Henry Brevoort, Jr. in the early nineteenth century. While the bulk of the collection relates to Henry Brevoort, Jr. and his children, the papers encompass several generations of the Brevoort family as they and their descendants married into the Bristed, Kane, and Winslow families. Also included in the collection are lists of letters created after the settlement of estates, auction catalogs and related papers, and collected letters of historical value unrelated to the family.
