Use this thread to discuss Beyond the Pastoral Register: Family Papers of Circuit Ministers in 19th-Century NY State, presented by Pamela Vittorio.
Session Description
The papers of 19th-century circuit riders contain a wealth of information on the rural communities in which the pastors and their families lived and served—from vital registrations to local events. Highlighted is a newly acquired collection at the New York State Library, The James Atwell Family Papers, which is an intimate look at a Methodist minister’s family who lived in nine New York State counties over five decades.
