| Title | Goldsmith Family of Southold Town Miscellaneous Documents, | |
| Dates: | 1824-1859 | |
| Abstract: | There are only ten documents in this extremely small collection. Six of these are dated 1825; one for 1824, one for 1859 and two undated but probably 1824-1825. Names of the Goldsmiths mentioned in the documents are Daniel, Jeremiah, Martin and Joshua Reeve. Several of the documents are wills of Daniel Goldsmith, most of which apparently are copies. One of these has a page missing. It is not clear why there are so many for one individual, but perhaps these were contemporary copies and perhaps of slightly different wording since they were all written at approximately the same time. | |

Scope and Content Note
There are only ten documents in this extremely small collection. Six of these are dated 1825; one for 1824, one for 1859 and two undated but probably 1824-1825. Names of the Goldsmiths mentioned in the documents are Daniel, Jeremiah, Martin and Joshua Reeve. Several of the documents are wills of Daniel Goldsmith, most of which apparently are copies. One of these has a page missing. It is not clear why there are so many for one individual, but perhaps these were contemporary copies and perhaps of slightly different wording since they were all written at approximately the same time.
The 1859 document is a will (contemporary copy?) of Joshua Reeve Goldsmith. The other documents include a Guardianship Appointment, a Power of Attorney, Probate of a Will, and a Release involving creditors. Some of these documents may be contemporary copies of the original.
