Series
This collection represents the remaining papers and effects of Erastus Hodges, his children, remaining family and business partners in the form of photocopies. The collection was assembled by Theodore B. Hodges, Erastus's great-great grandson. The collection was then used to write his book on behalf of the NAWCC. The book, titled "Erastus Hodges," remains in the collection of the NAWCC library and is a look into the life of early clock merchants in America. The collection contains photocopies of ledgers, receipts, and letters concerning both business and family matters. The businesses of the Hodges that are covered include their clock business, cheese, base metals, and other mercantile pursuits.
