| Additional Information | Folder Information: Duley Family Papers, mostly by Enoch Duley and his son Enoch M. Duley. The papers consist of correspondence, deeds, land grants, genealogical material, land surveys and maps, a hymn book, and photographs, including cabinet cards, tintypes, and cartes de visite. These materials document the acquisition and division of land by the Duley family; genealogy of the Duley, Wood, and Underwood families; and serve as photographic documentation of a number of Duley family members over a range of years. For instance, the collection contains several photographs of Eva (Duley) Underwood, the youngest daughter of Enoch and Wilebour Duley. These images show her both as a child with her sister Alice (photo #22), as a young adult (photo #27), and as a woman (photos #28-29). The handwritten genealogical account of the family (GLC06377.10) is also the product of Eva (Duley) Underwood.
