BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
Matthew Maury was a merchant in New York City in the
nineteenth century. He was born in
Liverpool, England, the son of James Maury, who was the United States consul
there from 1790-1829. Matthew’s
grandfather, also James Maury, had lived in Virginia and was a tutor of Thomas
Jefferson. The merchant Matthew Maury
was a cousin of Matthew Fontaine Maury, “the pathfinder of the seas.”
Maury married Elizabeth Gilpin in Philadelphia in
1841. They had two children, James F.
and Mary. James was also a merchant in
New York City, with an office in the Cotton Exchange Building in Hanover
Square. Elizabeth’s sister Sarah Gilpin
lived with the family, as did servants. Matthew Maury died in 1877 and sometime
thereafter, his widow Elizabeth and their daughter Mary moved to Morristown,
New Jersey, living in a house on MacCullough Avenue. Elizabeth died in 1892. Both she and her husband were buried at
Green-Wood Cemetery.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
About 600 bills and periodicals documenting some of
the household and personal expenses of Matthew and Elizabeth Maury, and occasionally
expenses of their son and daughter. The
personal bills are mostly for clothing, dress accessories, shoes and boots, a
bathing dress, and for fabric and trimmings which were turned into clothing by
tailors and seamstresses. Some of the
dress accessories were made for the servants’ use. Umbrellas and parasols were recovered from
time to time, and books and calling cards were purchased. Some of the bills were for periodical
subscriptions. As well, there were
donations to various charities and pew rent paid to the Episcopal churches to
which they belonged, St. Mark’s in New York City and Church of the Redeemer in
Morristown.
Household purchases are documented by bills from
various stores, including Tiffany’s, Alex T. Stewart (and its successor E.J.
Denning), Arnold, Constable & Co., and others. Even after moving to Morristown, Mrs. Maury
continued to make some purchases from these familiar stores. Of note are the grocery bills from Albert T.
Albro because these record every item purchased. (The grocery store bills in Morristown give
only monthly totals, not what was purchased.)
Milk, tea, flour, ice, pastries, and ice cream were purchased from
specialty vendors. Although the bills do
not document the purchase of new furniture (except for a bookcase), the bills
do indicate that the chairs and tables which they owned were repaired and re-upholstered
as needed. Glasses and china plates were
purchased, as were brooms, a knife, and a flat iron. A fair number of bills document the cleaning
of and repairs to chimneys, stove pipes, the kitchen range, plumbing and
tinware. Carpeting, matting, curtains, and
window shades were purchased or cleaned as needed.
Bills from physicians give no information about
services provided, but dental bills indicate that both children had teeth
filled. The earliest bill in the
collection documents the move of the Maury family to 62 Irving Place in New
York City. The family vacationed in
Quogue, Long Island, and Piermont, New York, as shown by board bills. Most of the bills are on printed billheads,
but few are illustrated. Some bills are
not on printed billheads. Notes on the
backs of many bills give more information about the purchases, such as a more
specific description of what purchased or for whom a purchase was made.
The collection also includes some religious
publications, primarily issued by the Protestant Episcopal Church. These include children’s papers and
publications related to mission work.
One pamphlet disapproves of an action of the alumni of Columbia College
of New York.
