Appearing within are diaries, personal letters, estate documents, literary works in prose and verse, and a considerable selection of landscape sketches and studies by Benjamin Bellows Grant Stone.
A lesser portion of the collection, comprising roughly 1.5 cubic feet, deals with the Meserole Family and allied families of Brooklyn and Bushwick dating from the early 18th century through the death of Adrian Meserole in 1913. Includued within the collection is a vast array of deeds and business papers along with a small but representative selection of personal correspondence and miscellaneous documents of interest. Of particular note is an indenture for land of one William Creed at Jamaica, Queens County, from 1693, being the oldest document in this collection.
