Box contains mostly “Marblehead Memoir” manuscript

The earliest date of the material is 1783 which is a sermon printed in Boston. The latest date is 1995 which is correspondence Mr. Girdler had with various persons including a third cousin, Mrs. Winnifred “Win” Pierce, Vernon L. Girdler and Mrs. George B. Girdler who were involved with the genealogical searches. There is original nineteenth and twentieth century correspondence, some photographs, books and printed articles but perhaps the greatest interests are the transcribed nineteenth century ship logs and the family trees.
