1823-1942 Newton Walker, Amanda Vose Family Register, Woodhull NY

#943

A beautiful old 1852 Currier & Ives hand colored family Register on early paper, printed before the advent of color printing. This was an amazingly prolific American printmaking company based out of and in business from 1835 to 1907. It was started by Nathaniel Currier, and later James Merritt Ives was added to the company in 1857. They printed more than a million prints and were known the world over.

This a black and white lithographic print, which was then hand colored. Printed text on bottom edge of print reads: #74, Entered according to Act of Congress 1852, Pub by Currier & Ives in the Clerks Office in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, 125 Nassau St. N.Y.

It appears to us that someone in the Walker / Vose family re-typed the genealogy info that was originally written underneath, and glued these bits of paper over the original handwriting, to save it. Most likely the early handwriting had severely faded, as early dip pen ink does. Basically this was an intervention to save the family information. We believe it was once framed in a standard 19th c Victorian era wooden frame. It is fragile and will be sent carefully secured for shipping.

This beautiful old family piece was found in Saugerties, Ulster County NY in 2017. It is a beautiful record of the early genealogy of the Walker Vose family and we were thrilled to find it. This is a DAR, Daughters of the American Revolution and SAR Sons of the American Revolutionary War family. Saratoga NY is in Saratoga County. Borden, Woodhull NY is in Steuben County, west of Addison, New York. Wauseon, Ohio is in Fulton County, OH. Toledo is in Lucas County, Ohio. A wonderful Walker family piece, most likely the only copy in existence.

       Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
