Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology.

","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology.

He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.

","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

William Faulkner was born on September 15, 1897, in New Albany, Mississippi, to Murry Falkner and Maud Butler Falkner. Faulkner was primarily raised in Oxford, Mississippi. He left high school shortly after the eleventh grade in 1915 to work at his grandfather's bank. William Faulkner would go on to briefly join the Canadian Royal Air Force from 1918-1919 before coming back to Oxford, Mississippi and holding various jobs throughout Mississippi and New York until he published his first book,  Soldier's Pay , in 1926. He married Lida Estelle Oldham in 1929, and together they had one daughter to survive past infancy, Jill Faulkner, in 1933. Faulkner grew in popularity as an author after the publication of  The Sound and the Fury  in 1929. Though a Mississippi native, William Faulkner moved to Charlottesville, VA, in 1957 to be closer to Jill, her husband, Paul Summers, and their children. It was during this time that Faulkner began work as the University of Virginia's first ever writer-in-residence. Faulkner continued to teach at the University of Virginia in several different positions until his death on July 6, 1962.  ","Source: Materials within the collection.   ","This material may contain offensive or harmful language or imagery. The purpose of this note is to give users the opportunity to decide whether they need or want to view these materials, or at least, to mentally or emotionally prepare themselves to view the materials.","This material contains offensive and harmful language and imagery, including references to outdated terminology for Black individuals, references or imagery involving racism, and references or imagery involving sexual assault, domestic violence, or crimes based on gender or sexual orientation.","This collection was reprocessed during 2024-2026 by archivists Elizabeth Nosari and Kaylin Preslar. The collection was originally described in 180 different catalog records and housed in non-consecutive boxes.\nArchivists worked to bring these disparate parts together to create a single William Faulkner Collection (MSS 16807) and finding aid to improve access and discoverability.","The William Faulkner collection has historically been represented by numerous different manuscript numbers (collection identifiers). MSS 16807 is a new manuscript number which serves to identify the collection as a whole. Original manuscript numbers have been retained in this guide and are noted in the title of each item.","In this example, the original manuscript number is 6074, and \"Series IA, Item 9b\" refers to the item's original location within MSS 6074, prior to reprocessing.","Absalom, Absalom! - Typescript (17 Leaves) - 6074, Series IA, Item 9b, 1936","While original order has been prioritized in the arrangement of Series IV, specific folders related to William Faulkner have been pulled from the rest of Albert Erskine's materials within MSS 10280-d and 10280-e for Subseries A. For ease of researcher use, these materials were pulled so that all of William Faulkner's publication records would be together, and so that the remaining materials within 10280-d and 10280-e relating to other authors would not be included within the William Faulkner collection.","Series III of the William Faulkner Collection contains the personal papers, files, belongings, and related realia of William Faulkner. Materials in the collection range in date from 1824 to 2003 and are divided into eight subseries: William Faulkner's working papers related to his literary works, drawings made by Faulkner, his childhood ephemera and student records, military and flight records, family papers, honors and awards, belongings and related realia, and reminiscences or accounts of William Faulkner.  ","Many of William Faulkner's student and family records differ in the spelling of his last name due to changes made over time by family members and by Faulkner himself. For this reason, Faulkner's student and childhood records will often refer to him as \"William Falkner.\" William Faulkner's family papers are also listed as \"Faulkner/Falkner Family Papers\" for this reason.  ","The Faulkner/Falkner Family Papers are divided into smaller sub-subseries based on the order in which they would fall within Faulkner's family tree and arranged chronologically within each. The first sub-subseries is comprised of Faulkner's extended family, grandparents, parents, and siblings, including John Wesley Thompson, William Clark Falkner, John Wesley Thompson Falkner, Alabama Falkner McLean, Murry Falkner, Maud Butler Falkner, Murry Falkner II, John Wesley Thompson Falkner/Faulkner III, and Dean Swift Falkner. The second sub-subseries within the Faulkner/Falkner Family subseries includes papers belonging to William Faulkner's wife, Estelle Oldham Faulkner, and the Oldham family. The third sub-subseries includes papers belonging to Estelle's son from her first marriage to Cornell Franklin and William Faulkner's stepson, Malcolm Argyle Franklin. Included with Malcolm Argyle Franklin's papers is a small amount of material once belonging to William F. Fielden, which was originally acquired with and has been kept with Franklin's papers. Next, within the subseries are the papers once belonging to William and Estelle Faulkner's daughter Jill Faulkner Summers and the Summers family.","Series IV of the William Faulkner Collection contains William Faulkner's publication records.  Materials in the collection range in date from 1924 to 1986 and are divided into three subseries based on record provenance. The first subseries is comprised of records relating to the original publication of Faulkner's works from Random House, Inc., and Albert Erskine. The second subseries is made up of records from Noel Polk, a Faulkner scholar and editor who worked on posthumous editions and publications of Faulkner's writings. The third and last subseries, Subseries C, contains all publishing-related records not from Random House, Albert Erskine, or Noel Polk. Prominent individuals whose publishing-related correspondence and records are featured in this subseries include William Faulkner's literary agents Harold Ober and Morton Goldman.  ","Series V of the William Faulkner collection contains William Faulkner's business and legal records. Materials within the series range in date from 1922 to 2006 and are divided into four subseries, the first of which includes William Faulkner's contracts and agreements, including a copy of Faulkner's will and legal agreements pertaining to his work and property carried out by his daughter, Jill Faulkner Summers, after his death in 1962. The second subseries includes all papers from William Faulkner's literary agent, Harold Ober, with the exception of Ober's papers relating to William Faulkner's publishing records, which are included in Series IV. Subseries C contains records relating to William Faulkner's cultural diplomacy work and travel. These records include papers gifted to the University of Virginia by Hal Howland, an employee of the United States Foreign Service/State Department.  Subseries C additionally contains records and correspondence relating to William Faulkner's work with the People to People diplomatic program, given as part of a gift from Joseph Blotner, scholar and biographer of William Faulkner.  The final subseries in Series V contains records pertaining to the William Faulkner Foundation. Whenever possible, the original order of each of the previous MSS numbers within Series V has been prioritized in the arrangement of the series.","Series VI of the William Faulkner collection contains photographs and portraits of and pertaining to William Faulkner. The photographs and portraits in this series range in date from 1898 to 2005 and cover a wide range of accession numbers, one of these being Faulkner's original deposit, MSS 6074. Materials within Series VI have been arranged in order of their original accession number to emphasize their provenance and chronologically therein.","Series VII of the William Faulkner collection includes press and publicity materials related to William Faulkner. Materials within the series range in date from 1922 to 2005 and are divided into three subseries. The first subseries consists of news clippings and press coverage articles about William Faulkner, many of which were gifted by Linton Massey and Jill Faulkner Summers. The second subseries contains William Faulkner's publicity films and audio recordings of Faulkner reading his works. The final subseries includes ephemera relating to William Faulkner's publicity films. Within each of these three subseries, materials are arranged chronologically.","Series VIII of the William Faulkner collection contains materials from Faulkner's time working at the University of Virginia, where he was the university's Writer-in-Residence from 1957 to 1958, Consultant on American Literature to the Alderman Library, now Shannon Library, from around 1958 to 1961, and Balch Lecturer in American Literature from 1961 to 1962. The series is divided into three subseries: Audio Recordings from Talks and Lectures, Ephemera Related to Faulkner's Tenure, and Exhibitions about Faulkner at the Library. Materials are then arranged chronologically within each subseries.","Series IX of the William Faulkner collection contains the materials of scholars of William Faulkner and collectors of Faulkner's archival and manuscript materials. Original Faulkner materials collected by some of these individuals, such as Joseph Blotner and Linton R.

families)","United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Correspondence","letters (correspondence)","Scrapbooks","This collection is open for research.","This collection is arranged into three series: Series 1. Correspondence, Series 2. Genealogy, Series 3. Notebooks, scrapbooks, photographs, and printed. The letters are arranged in chronological order under each family member. Correspondence between individuals is in separate folders because that was the original order of the collection.","This collection is centered on three prominent New England families, the Butler family of \"Round Oak\" Yonkers, New York (and according to family history related to Oliver Cromwell), the Terry family of Hartford, Connecticut (who was related to Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock and came over on the Mayflower in 1620), and the Collins family of Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut, (who were settlers of Collinsville Illinois during westward expansion) in nineteenth century America.","The collection has many references to the American Civil War, and major events of the nineteenth century. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who helped free enslaved persons and celebrated when Illinois won against becoming an enslaved state.","The Butler family begins in this collection with Benjamin Franklin Butler (1795-1858) who was the Attorney General of the United States (1833-1838), appointed by President Andrew Jackson and was also a legal partner of Martin Van Buren. He founded New York University in 1831 and was regarded as one of the most successful cross-examiners of his day. He was married to Harriet Allen Butler and they had nine children. ","His son was William Allen Butler (1825-1902) who was a lawyer and popular author of many books and poems. His most famous satirical book, \"Nothing to Wear\" was published in \"Harper's Weekly\" in 1857. He contributed travel and comic writing to \"The Literary World\" and wrote for the \"Democratic Review\". He married Mary Russell Marshall in 1850 and they had nine children including William Allen Butler, Jr. (1856-1921) and Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934), a well-known painter. William Allen Butler was on the cover of the \"New York Times Illustrated Weekly\" in 1897. He died at his residence, Round Oak, in Yonkers, New York. ","William Allen Butler, Jr. was an attorney in New York, president of the Lawyer Club, and a graduate of Princeton University. He wrote law lectures and travelled to Europe for business. In 1840 he married Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1920) which joined the Terry, Collins, and Butler families together.  Louise Collins Butler wrote poetry, which is included in the collection.  They had five children, William Allen Butler, III, Lyman Collins Butler, Dr. Charles Terry Butler (1889-1980), Lydia Coit Dwight, and Louise Tracy Butler.","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents were Charles Collins (1817-1891) and Mary Collins (1820-1900) who were married in 1840 and wrote to each other often when he was traveling for his father (Charles Collins) and grandfather's (Amos Collins) dry goods business (A.M. Collins and Sons and then Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons) in St. Louis, Missouri, Collinsville, Illinois, Charleston, South Carolina and Hartford, Connecticut. Before he was married, he wrote often to his parents asking for permission to buy land in Illinois like his uncles (who were successful in settling in Collinsville, Illinois), but they believed this was a plot to get rich quick and encouraged him to stay in business, which he did. Family members have recalled that \"Charles Collins was a courteous gentleman, of an exceedingly attractive personality. He was a man of active mind and fluent speech.\" He was described as speaking with animation and eloquence in defending his beliefs. He did not attend college, but he was an enthusiastic advocate of new and rational theological thought. He and his wife Mary Hall Terry Collins \"were very much interested in the genealogic record of the Collins family. Mary Hall Terry Collins, was the daughter of Eliphalet Terry (famous for promoting Hartford Insurance Company after the great fire in New York in 1835) and the granddaughter of Judge Eliphalet Terry who was a County Court Judge and direct descendant of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock.","\nLouise Butler's siblings were Lydia Coit Ketcham (1844-1936), Reverend Charles Terry Collins (1845-1883), Clarence Lyman Collins (1848-1922), and Arthur Morris Collins (1851-1861).","\nReverend Charles Terry Collins, brother of Louise Collins Butler was a graduate of Yale during the American Civil War, and a Reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio.  In 1883, at the age of 38, the young minister on a visit home to see his father and mother, suddenly died in his father's arms as he got off the train. Family genealogy records describe the reverend after his death, \"The Cleveland journals regarded his death as \"not only a crushing private grief, but a public calamity.\" He was married to Mary Abby Wood. Their children were Charles Collins (b.1873), Clarence Collins (b. 1875), Mary Terry Collins (b. 1877), and Arthur Morris Collins (b.1880).","Reverend Charles Collins' father, and Charles Terry Collins grandfather, Amos Morris Collins, was the son of William Collins (1760-1847) and Esther Morris Collins. Amos Collins built one of the first successful dry goods business in New England. It was called A. M. Collins \u0026 Sons. It was so successful that it was able to help the banks and other community members after the American Civil War. Amos Morris Collins' brothers, Augustus Collins, Anson Collins, Michael Collins, Frederick Collins, and William Collins bought land in Illinois, where they moved their business, and named the town Collinsville. Amos Collins stayed at the store in New Haven. Reverend Dr. Bushnell, who was a close friend of Amos Collins and minister of his church, wrote about him, \"There is almost nothing here that has not somehow felt his power, nothing good which has not somehow profited by his beneficence.\" ","The Butler, Collins, and Terry families descended from patriots of the American Revolutionary War and were members of the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolutionary War. The women in the collection, Harriet Allen Butler, Mary Russell Marshall Butler, Mary Lyman Collins, Lydia Coit Terry, Mary Hall Terry Collins, and Louise Terry Collins Butler played a prominent role in their households, were confidantes of their husbands, and maintained prominent social responsibilities. They were skilled in the orchestrations of sophisticated urban life and the hard work required for early American lifestyles. ","These three families were raised with puritan upbringings which gave them a solid foundation of good principles but what is most notable is that they lived their lives with kindness and charity towards each other and their communities. This characterizes many of the letters in this collection.","This collection was donated by Leslie Middleton who is the granddaughter of Dr. Charles Terry Butler, and  great-granddaughter of Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1921) and William Allen Butler, Jr.","Sources:\nWood, Steven, \"The Writing of Steven Wood Collins:- Author of \"Puramore\", \"Lute of Pythagoras\", Steven Wood Collins Blog, Good Reads,,Published on May 26, 2015 \nhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4524514.Steven_Wood_Collins/blog/tag/edward-collins","\"Full text of \"The Collins family; Genealogical record (in part) of the descendants of John Collins, Sr., from 1640 to 1760; a complete record of the descendants of William Collins and Esther Morris, from 1760 to 1897\", Internet Archive. retrieved 9/22/21 \nhttps://archive.org/stream/collinsfamilygen00coll/collinsfamilygen00coll_djvu.txt","Moore, Ensley. \"The Collins Family and Connections.\" Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1908-1984) 12, no. 1 (1919): 58–70. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40187075.","Butler, William Allen, \"Retrospect of Forty Years, 1825-1865\", New York, Charles Scribner and Sons, 1911.

Their correspondence, genealogy, photographs, and journals compile a historical collection, vast in size and informative of American life in the nineteenth century. ","It contains over three hundred letters written when family members were attending Yale or Princeton during the American Civil War. There are over four thousand letters which show the close relationships between the families and their strong religious faith. Descendants from Puritans, the families' letters reveal a gentle kindness and firm guidance, particularly from parents to their children and a strong nostalgia for each other's company. Letters about the loss of loved ones show grief and pain but also an accepting attitude towards death and a reassuring belief that the spirit reclaimed their loved ones. A few of the letters highlight rare events such as divorce and alcoholism. There are some letters describing westward expansion (to Illinois). The letters mention some of the major events of the nineteenth century as well as an opportunity to look through history and learn more about each one of the family members and their community.","Many of the members in these families made a name for themselves in the field of law. Benjamin Franklin Butler was the Attorney General of the United States and the law partner of Martin Van Buren under President Andrew Jackson and some of his papers are in this collection. He was also a founder of New York University. His son, William Allen Butler was also a well-respected attorney, President of the American Bar Association, and a prolific author and poet. His novel \"Nothing to Wear\" was known as a popular, classic satire. There is a bibliographic list of his books, and the publications can be found in our holdings. There is also a copy of the \"New York Times Illustrated Weekly\" where he is featured on the cover in 1897. ","William Allen Butler, Jr. was also an attorney in New England, President of the Lawyer Club, and a graduate of Princeton University. Included in the collection are his lectures and rowing, fishing, and Princeton scrapbooks as well as his property books, and office and travel journals. He married Louise Terry Collins in 1884 bringing the Butler and Collins families together. There are letters from \"Will and Louise\" while he courted her for several years, but she wanted to maintain her independence a few years longer. She was also a poet and many of her lines of poetry are in the collection. Also included are their handwritten wedding vows and affectionate letters throughout their marriage. William Allen Butler, Jr. traveled to Europe often and sailed on the RMS Mauretania (the sister ship to the Lusitania that was sunk by a German torpedo). Louise Butler also traveled and there are letters written on stationery from the Hamburg-Amerika line. There are also letters from William Allen Butler, Jr. to and about his brother Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934) who was an American painter and founder of the American Fine Arts Society. There are also photographs in William Allen Butler, Jr.'s scrapbook, \"The Victoria Luise\" of men constructing the Panama Canal. ","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents, Charles and Mary Hall Terry Collins also wrote to each other often during their courtship, married life, which included the time of the American Civil War. They also wrote letters about the \"Panic of 1857\"; the Midwest and the South, and politics. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who tried to help free enslaved persons and fought for Illinois to become a free state. The letters do not mention any details about enslaved persons but are more related to family and politics in general. The letters also describe travel to Collinsville, Illinois, Jacksonville, and St. Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Charleston South Carolina where Charles Collins Sr. attended to business for his family dry goods store in New England. Their son, Charles Terry Collins, Jr. wrote to them about the Civil War while he was a student at Yale. He attended Andover Theological Seminary and became a reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio. He exchanged letters with his parents and siblings every week usually on Sundays. Many of his letters have hand illustrated, intricate, and personal sketches that describe the contents of his letters. He expresses his honest feelings and self-doubts about schoolwork and preaching which he eventually masters. Their other son, Clarence Collins attended College Hill School in Poughkeepsie, New York and succeeded his father in his dry goods store, \"Collins, Kellog \u0026 Kerbe\" and \"Collins, Atwater \u0026 Whitten\" (Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons). He married (Marie) Louise Clark who divorced him, leaving the care of their little girl, Edith Collins, with his mother Mary Hall Terry Collins and his sisters, Lillie Collins Ketcham, and Louise Terry Collins Butler. Edith Collins later married (and divorced) a Turkish diplomat Rechid Bey (Count Czaykowsi) and became Countess Czaykowski who lived in Paris and there are letters from her in the collection. "," There are scrapbooks, and journals documenting the lives of these intertwining members of these families. There are also extensive genealogy notes and family trees in the collection tracing their ancestors. There is an Oxford family bible (1851 Oxford University Press, England) with handwritten family names. Printed books on the families 'genealogies and novels written by William Allen Butler are in the printed part of our collections.

series: Series 1. Correspondence, Series 2. Genealogy, Series 3. Notebooks, scrapbooks, photographs, and printed. The letters are arranged in chronological order under each family member. Correspondence between individuals is in separate folders because that was the original order of the collection.","This collection is centered on three prominent New England families, the Butler family of \"Round Oak\" Yonkers, New York (and according to family history related to Oliver Cromwell), the Terry family of Hartford, Connecticut (who was related to Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock and came over on the Mayflower in 1620), and the Collins family of Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut, (who were settlers of Collinsville Illinois during westward expansion) in nineteenth century America.","The collection has many references to the American Civil War, and major events of the nineteenth century. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who helped free enslaved persons and celebrated when Illinois won against becoming an enslaved state.","The Butler family begins in this collection with Benjamin Franklin Butler (1795-1858) who was the Attorney General of the United States (1833-1838), appointed by President Andrew Jackson and was also a legal partner of Martin Van Buren. He founded New York University in 1831 and was regarded as one of the most successful cross-examiners of his day. He was married to Harriet Allen Butler and they had nine children. ","His son was William Allen Butler (1825-1902) who was a lawyer and popular author of many books and poems. His most famous satirical book, \"Nothing to Wear\" was published in \"Harper's Weekly\" in 1857. He contributed travel and comic writing to \"The Literary World\" and wrote for the \"Democratic Review\". He married Mary Russell Marshall in 1850 and they had nine children including William Allen Butler, Jr. (1856-1921) and Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934), a well-known painter. William Allen Butler was on the cover of the \"New York Times Illustrated Weekly\" in 1897. He died at his residence, Round Oak, in Yonkers, New York. ","William Allen Butler, Jr. was an attorney in New York, president of the Lawyer Club, and a graduate of Princeton University. He wrote law lectures and travelled to Europe for business. In 1840 he married Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1920) which joined the Terry, Collins, and Butler families together.  Louise Collins Butler wrote poetry, which is included in the collection.  They had five children, William Allen Butler, III, Lyman Collins Butler, Dr. Charles Terry Butler (1889-1980), Lydia Coit Dwight, and Louise Tracy Butler.","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents were Charles Collins (1817-1891) and Mary Collins (1820-1900) who were married in 1840 and wrote to each other often when he was traveling for his father (Charles Collins) and grandfather's (Amos Collins) dry goods business (A.M. Collins and Sons and then Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons) in St. Louis, Missouri, Collinsville, Illinois, Charleston, South Carolina and Hartford, Connecticut. Before he was married, he wrote often to his parents asking for permission to buy land in Illinois like his uncles (who were successful in settling in Collinsville, Illinois), but they believed this was a plot to get rich quick and encouraged him to stay in business, which he did. Family members have recalled that \"Charles Collins was a courteous gentleman, of an exceedingly attractive personality. He was a man of active mind and fluent speech.\" He was described as speaking with animation and eloquence in defending his beliefs. He did not attend college, but he was an enthusiastic advocate of new and rational theological thought. He and his wife Mary Hall Terry Collins \"were very much interested in the genealogic record of the Collins family. Mary Hall Terry Collins, was the daughter of Eliphalet Terry (famous for promoting Hartford Insurance Company after the great fire in New York in 1835) and the granddaughter of Judge Eliphalet Terry who was a County Court Judge and direct descendant of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock.","\nLouise Butler's siblings were Lydia Coit Ketcham (1844-1936), Reverend Charles Terry Collins (1845-1883), Clarence Lyman Collins (1848-1922), and Arthur Morris Collins (1851-1861).","\nReverend Charles Terry Collins, brother of Louise Collins Butler was a graduate of Yale during the American Civil War, and a Reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio.  In 1883, at the age of 38, the young minister on a visit home to see his father and mother, suddenly died in his father's arms as he got off the train. Family genealogy records describe the reverend after his death, \"The Cleveland journals regarded his death as \"not only a crushing private grief, but a public calamity.\" He was married to Mary Abby Wood. Their children were Charles Collins (b.1873), Clarence Collins (b. 1875), Mary Terry Collins (b. 1877), and Arthur Morris Collins (b.1880).","Reverend Charles Collins' father, and Charles Terry Collins grandfather, Amos Morris Collins, was the son of William Collins (1760-1847) and Esther Morris Collins. Amos Collins built one of the first successful dry goods business in New England. It was called A. M. Collins \u0026 Sons. It was so successful that it was able to help the banks and other community members after the American Civil War. Amos Morris Collins' brothers, Augustus Collins, Anson Collins, Michael Collins, Frederick Collins, and William Collins bought land in Illinois, where they moved their business, and named the town Collinsville. Amos Collins stayed at the store in New Haven. Reverend Dr. Bushnell, who was a close friend of Amos Collins and minister of his church, wrote about him, \"There is almost nothing here that has not somehow felt his power, nothing good which has not somehow profited by his beneficence.\" ","The Butler, Collins, and Terry families descended from patriots of the American Revolutionary War and were members of the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolutionary War. The women in the collection, Harriet Allen Butler, Mary Russell Marshall Butler, Mary Lyman Collins, Lydia Coit Terry, Mary Hall Terry Collins, and Louise Terry Collins Butler played a prominent role in their households, were confidantes of their husbands, and maintained prominent social responsibilities. They were skilled in the orchestrations of sophisticated urban life and the hard work required for early American lifestyles. ","These three families were raised with puritan upbringings which gave them a solid foundation of good principles but what is most notable is that they lived their lives with kindness and charity towards each other and their communities. This characterizes many of the letters in this collection.","This collection was donated by Leslie Middleton who is the granddaughter of Dr. Charles Terry Butler, and  great-granddaughter of Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1921) and William Allen Butler, Jr.","Sources:\nWood, Steven, \"The Writing of Steven Wood Collins:- Author of \"Puramore\", \"Lute of Pythagoras\", Steven Wood Collins Blog, Good Reads,,Published on May 26, 2015 \nhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4524514.Steven_Wood_Collins/blog/tag/edward-collins","\"Full text of \"The Collins family; Genealogical record (in part) of the descendants of John Collins, Sr., from 1640 to 1760; a complete record of the descendants of William Collins and Esther Morris, from 1760 to 1897\", Internet Archive. retrieved 9/22/21 \nhttps://archive.org/stream/collinsfamilygen00coll/collinsfamilygen00coll_djvu.txt","Moore, Ensley. \"The Collins Family and Connections.\" Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1908-1984) 12, no. 1 (1919): 58–70. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40187075.","Butler, William Allen, \"Retrospect of Forty Years, 1825-1865\", New York, Charles Scribner and Sons, 1911.

He married Louise Terry Collins in 1884 bringing the Butler and Collins families together. There are letters from \"Will and Louise\" while he courted her for several years, but she wanted to maintain her independence a few years longer. She was also a poet and many of her lines of poetry are in the collection. Also included are their handwritten wedding vows and affectionate letters throughout their marriage. William Allen Butler, Jr. traveled to Europe often and sailed on the RMS Mauretania (the sister ship to the Lusitania that was sunk by a German torpedo). Louise Butler also traveled and there are letters written on stationery from the Hamburg-Amerika line. There are also letters from William Allen Butler, Jr. to and about his brother Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934) who was an American painter and founder of the American Fine Arts Society.

","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents, Charles and Mary Hall Terry Collins also wrote to each other often during their courtship, married life, which included the time of the American Civil War. They also wrote letters about the \"Panic of 1857\"; the Midwest and the South, and politics. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who tried to help free enslaved persons and fought for Illinois to become a free state. The letters do not mention any details about enslaved persons but are more related to family and politics in general. The letters also describe travel to Collinsville, Illinois, Jacksonville, and St. Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Charleston South Carolina where Charles Collins Sr. attended to business for his family dry goods store in New England. Their son, Charles Terry Collins, Jr. wrote to them about the Civil War while he was a student at Yale. He attended Andover Theological Seminary and became a reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio. He exchanged letters with his parents and siblings every week usually on Sundays. Many of his letters have hand illustrated, intricate, and personal sketches that describe the contents of his letters. He expresses his honest feelings and self-doubts about schoolwork and preaching which he eventually masters. Their other son, Clarence Collins attended College Hill School in Poughkeepsie, New York and succeeded his father in his dry goods store, \"Collins, Kellog \u0026 Kerbe\" and \"Collins, Atwater \u0026 Whitten\" (Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons). He married (Marie) Louise Clark who divorced him, leaving the care of their little girl, Edith Collins, with his mother Mary Hall Terry Collins and his sisters, Lillie Collins Ketcham, and Louise Terry Collins Butler. Edith Collins later married (and divorced) a Turkish diplomat Rechid Bey (Count Czaykowsi) and became Countess Czaykowski who lived in Paris and there are letters from her in the collection. "," There are scrapbooks, and journals documenting the lives of these intertwining members of these families. There are also extensive genealogy notes and family trees in the collection tracing their ancestors. There is an Oxford family bible (1851 Oxford University Press, England) with handwritten family names. Printed books on the families 'genealogies and novels written by William Allen Butler are in the printed part of our collections.
