| Abstract:
|
The Luquer and Payne families papers (1822-1980) center on the Reverend Lea Luquer
(1833-1919) and his wife, Eloise Elizabeth (nee Payne) (1834-1894), with material
related to earlier and later generations of their family and related families, including
Low, Lynch and Pierrepont. The collection includes Eloise's journal of her 1874 travels
in Western Europe with Lea. There are several editions of "The S.S.S.S. Gazette" (1876-1879),
handwritten collections of poems and stories authored principally by the children
of Lea and Eloise Luquer. There are nineteenth century indentures and other agreements
concerning property in Brooklyn Heights, New York City, and Westchester County (N.Y.).
Many of these relate to the estates of Nicholas Luquer (1810-1864) and Thatcher Taylor
Payne (died 1863). The collection includes Payne and Luquer family genealogical documents
compiled in the twentieth century, and records of burial plots at Green-Wood Cemetery
for members of the Low, Luquer, Lynch, and Pierrepont families, among others. There
is correspondence from Henry Evelyn Pierrepont to his wife (1865-1866) and documents
concerning Seth Low Pierrepont's disposition of property from the family home at One
Pierrepont Place in Brooklyn, circa 1941. The collection holds a few Civil War era
documents related to the Confederate States of America, including bonds and military
correspondence.
