The papers document family matters; sea-faring; trade between New England and New York, and the West Indies, Great Britain, Russia (Archangel), and other New World and European ports; land transactions; and contain references to political and other events of the day. The bulk of the papers document the intermarried Hudson and Rogers families who lived in Newburyport, with branches in New York and Boston, mid-eighteenth through early nineteenth centuries.</p> <p>Included are the papers of Captain James Hudson (circa 1718-1792), Newburyport sea captain and owner of a salt-works at Salisbury; his son Henry Hudson (1747-1823), a Newburyport merchant; Henry Hudson's wife, Anna Rogers Hudson, and their son John Rogers Hudson (b. 1784), also a merchant in Newburyport; Anna Rogers Hudson's father John Rogers, a Boston merchant, her mother, Mary Davenport Rogers, and other family members.
