Abstract:
The papers are a collection of letters written to Mary Ann Brigham Livermore and Stephen G. Livermore from friends and family members throughout the New England region. Stephen Livermore originated out of Marlboro, Mass.  Some of the papers are letters from him to Mary Ann before their marriage.  Many of the letters are from family that live in Massachusetts towns such as Worcester, Boston, Millbury, Marlboro, Harvard, and Holden.  Other locations include Dover, N.H., Wells River, Vt., and Avon, Conn.  While they were still single Mary Ann lived primarily in Worcester and Stephen traveled around the area searching for work.  They spent their early married years in Springfield, Mass. from 1849-1852.  Their most recent letters show that they later moved to Dayton, Ohio.
