- Abstract:
- The collection consists of letters related to the Wilson family, which document their emigration from Great Britain to New Jersey and Kansas, 1873-1941, with the bulk of the material covering years from 1873 to 1879. Agnes Ledgerwood Hately, later Wilson, wrote most of the letters to her fiancée and then husband, James Kinnier Wilson, as well as to her family in Scotland.
- Description:
- Agnes Ledgerwood Hately Wilson MacIntosh (1845-1931) was a daughter of Thomas Ledgerwood Hately (1816-1867), a composer and precentor of the Free High Church in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Ann Atkinson Brook Hately (1817-1861). She had two older siblings, Mary Ann Atkinson Hately Macfie (born 1840) and composer Walter Hately (1843-1907). Agnes also worked as a teacher of singing in Edinburgh, Scotland, before her marriage. In April 1874, Agnes married Reverend James Kinnier Wilson (1846-1879), a Presbyterian minister originally from County Monaghan, Ireland, who studied at Princeton University (1869), the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of the Northwest (1871-1873), and at Auburn Theological Seminary (1873-1874). From 1874 to 1878, James served as a minister at the First Presbyterian Church in Cedarville, New Jersey. The Wilsons had two children, Anne Edina Hately Wilson Paul (1876-1959), and neurologist Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson (1878-1937). In June 1878, the Wilson family relocated to WaKeeney, Kansas, where James served the Home Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America until his death in November 1879 from malaria. Agnes and their children returned to Scotland. In 1881, she married Henry MacIntosh (1836-1894), and they had a son, Henry Walter McIntosh (born 1882). and WaKeeney, Kansas, was established in 1879 on land purchased from the Kansas Pacific Railway by the Chicago land development firm of Warren, Keeney, & Co.

- Description:
- Henry Franklin Shearman was involved with several land companies (including the American Railway Securities and Land Agency, the North American Land Association, and the Minnesota Land and Farming Company) that encouraged English investment in the American West during the late 1870s. In 1880 Shearman established a company in London that arranged contracts between American farmers in need of labor and young English men interested in learning about American farm life. As Shearman conceived the program, the immigrants would work as "farm pupils" for a period of years before purchasing their own farms in the United States. The business, which became known as the American Colonization Company, was transferred to Ford, Rathbone & Walter in 1882. The next seven years brought frequent changes in name and ownership as the program expanded to include farm placements in the Northwest, Canada, and Tasmania. William Wilbraham Ford held interests in the companies throughout the period, and continued operations under his own name after 1889. and Items originally mounted in scrapbook.
