Van Dyke Family papers

Papers of several generations of the Van Dyke family which consist primarily of estate documents (wills, letters of administration, accounts, etc.), certificates, photographs, newspaper clippings, and genealogical materials (correspondence, family Bible records and compilations, including charts) on the Van Dyke and Willet(t)s families. Certificates represented include membership and appointment certificates, as well as a certificate (1827) regarding Peter, a black servant of Matthew Van Dyke, and a certificate (1837) indicating Lydia Van Dyke's eligibility for a government pension based on her husband's Revolutionary War service. Two items are undated broadsides: a (ca. 1840s?) "Genealogy of the Willets Family, " and a memorial "Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth Neill..." (printed on wove paper with watermark "T Stains / 1804").
