Description: Letter to Nathaniel Goodwin about the genealogy of John Fanning Burgwin (also spelled Burgwyn), son of the colonial official and Cape Fear merchant, John Burgwin. Burgwin was the owner of the plantation the hermitage near Wilmington NC. Dated either 1857 or 1837 — it looks more like 57, but the recipient died in 55. So, either this response to the inquiry took quite a long time, or it is 37. This item came from a cache of letters to/from Nathaniel GOODWIN (1782-1855), who was a genealogist, Probate Judge, and Treasurer of Hartford CT. He also published "Descendants of Thomas Olcott" (1845), "The Foote Family" (1849), and posthumously, “Genealogical Notes of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts," with a memoir (1856). All ephemera shows wear commensurate to age, including, potentially, stains, worn corners, dings, fraying, scents, stray marks, rips, and other imperfections, etc. You get what you see. Decent condition for age, but does have a definite scent.
