“Family Record of Henry R. Remsen and Elizabeth W. Phoenix, 1834”

Throughout his life, Hendrick “Henry” Rutgers Remsen (1809-1874) meticulously recorded his family’s major life events, including births, vaccinations, accidents, marriages and deaths.  The following pages are Remsen’s original records, never before published.  They may be an enormous aid to historians.  His father Henry Remsen (1762-1843) also recorded family events in a separate 9-page book, which is available here.
