| Summary | Typescript copy of a journal of a trip to the Azores, July 8-November 21, 1847 by Eliza W. Nye (later Eliza Hathaway Dana), daughter of Amelia (Hickling) and Thomas Nye Jr. of New Bedford, Mass. Entries describe a sea voyage with her father on the ship SYLPH, whaling, and visiting the towns, countryside, and various families in the Azores, including the Dabney and Hickling families. Some mention is made of Eliza's mother and sisters, Amelia Nye, Sarah Nye, and Emma Jones. There is also a 2-page typescript "Lineage of the Hickling family" (1922). The journal was typed and edited by Grace and Edith Dana (1930). Letters with the journal include a typescript copy of a letter, Catherine Green (Hickling) Prescott to her half-brother Thomas Hickling (1848); several letters of Otmar Seeman to Grace Dana (1928); one from Seeman to "cousin Jack" (1939); and one to Mr. N[anthaniel] L. Harris (1940). Letters mainly concern Hickling family genealogy. |
