the purchase of clothing and shoes, coffins, medical services, building
supplies, food items, school tuition, and other goods and services. Some of the items and medical services were

In volume, the bulk of the collection

but also Clark, Growden, Hoskins, Howell, Shippen, and Taylor. As well, there are papers from others,
chiefly resulting from the settlement of estates for which Joseph Richardson,
Sr., served as executor. There are also
some stray individuals represented in the collection, perhaps more distant
relations or perhaps family friends.
