Papers, 1791-1916 | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:This small collection consists primarily of land indentures. There are a few letters to Loretta R. (Mrs. Rinaldo) Shaw and to Edwin D[avid?] and Alma Mattison. There are two letters testamentary for the wills of Rinaldo Shaw (1887) and Charles Shaw (1916). The land indentures, encompassing one hundred years, are for land just north of South Berlin, Rensselaer County, New York. They include the indentures of Peley Thomas, Samuel Shaw, Sr. and Jr., and Rinaldo and Loretta Shaw. Also included are four maps of these properties from about 1848 to 1891. The properties were bordered, in part, by the Bly, Denison, Goodemote, Hull, Lewis, and McDonough families
