Scope and Content
The collection was initially processed by Ruth Blair and re-processed in 2005 to provide improved storage conditions. The records remain in the order originally processed.
The Breed family papers include the records of Gershom and his sons John McLaren, Simeon and Jesse, and of the partnership of Simeon and Jesse. Of interest are lottery tickets sold to raise funds for the Norwich Channel and a hand drawn map of the road between Preston and Voluntown, 1829.
The Mumford family papers consist almost entirely of records from the Revolutionary War. The muster rolls and pay rolls are arranged alphabetically by the name of the captain, or other ranking officer if no captain is listed. The enlistments and bounties are organized chronologically by year, but not by month. The military orders have been arranged alphabetically by the name of the highest-ranking officer mentioned in the document.
