Guide to the William "Tangier" Smith Papers

Detail

DescriptionThis collection is merely a very fragmentary one consisting only of a dozen photocopies of real estate indentures dated primarily in the 1690s and early 1700s. Three dated after his death presumably involve his heirs. These photocopies evidently were made sometime around 1954 by George C. Furman and Hugh Furman, attorneys and trustees of the estate of Eugenie A. T. Smith. The original deeds were found among the papers of Miss Smith who was the last of the family line. These papers, according to the Furmans, covered some three centuries and were contained in "almost 100 cabinets and chests of various sorts and sizes."Extent1 box, .2 cubic feetRepositoryArchives and Queens Public LibraryCreatorSmith, William, 1654-1705Temporal Coverage1690-1760Geographic CoverageLong Island (N.Y.)
