2Title:  Elijah Wadsworth Family Papers, Series II     
 Creator:  Wadsworth, Elijah family 
 Dates:  1702-1910 
 Abstract:  General Elijah Wadsworth (1747-1817) was a prominent figure in the early history of Ohio's Western Reserve who served in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. He was a captain in the 2nd continental light dragoons in the Revolutionary War and was the commander, major-general, of the 4th division of the Ohio Militia during the War of 1812. Wadsworth was also the largest land owner in Canfield during its early years, and its first postmaster, and its tax collector during the early years. Elijah Wadsworth's two descendants who are most frequently encountered in the collection are Maria C. Wadsworth and Henry Wadsworth. Maria C. Wadsworth was the daughter, and only child, of Elijah Wadsworth's son George. She lived in Canfield and married William B. Dawson. Henry Wadsworth (1784-1830) was a son of Elijah Wadsworth. He stayed behind in Litchfield, Connecticut, when Gen. Wadsworth moved to Canfield, and stayed in the general area all his life. Frederick, (1786-1869) George (1793-1832), and Rhoda Wadsworth (1748- ?) were other children of Elijah. The collection consists of letters and documents relating to the Wadsworth family starting with Gen. Elijah Wadsworth, and continuing on through his children and grandchildren, with some items from family friends, like Elisha Whittlesey, and life/society in this period. The collection includes personal letters, official correspondence, receipts, other financial records, land sale/purchase contacts, wills and other estate management documents, land surveys, and other miscellaneous documents.
